<human>: My SO and I's anniversary is coming up and he wants to get me an extravagant gift. The thing is, I'm unemployed and wouldn't be able to provide with a gift of equal value. I know these type of things shouldn't be based on price but I'd feel terrible if I didn't give him something of similar value. The gift in question is a ring which brings up another problem. I'd feel uncomfortable with receiving a ring because I'd associate it with an engagement. It's ridiculous, I know, but its just an intrusive thought. I'm no where near ready for that type of commitment, we're both still in college. I've told him many times I'd rather just spend the day with him watching movies or go bike riding together but I know he still wants to get me a ring. I don't want to hurt him, he really wants to do this, but I really don't want him to spend his money on a ring I'd be uncomfortable with. I'm not even a gift type of person, I don't like jewelry or any other typical gifts so he does get frustrated around gift giving occasions. Basically, I want to know if anyone else has had a similar problem and if they were able to get over or deal with it in a certain way. I am going to talk to him bit I'd like to know how others have dealt with similar issues.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: SO wants to get me a ring (not engagement or promise) but I'm uncomfortable with the notion. Anyone been through this? What did you do? Help me get over or at least come to terms with this?
