<human>: I will keep this short because really I just want to get some perspective here.  Partner of 2 years told me a year ago that he had already purchased an engagement ring.  He spoke in details about the jeweler who made it, the city they live in, etc.  We are best friends and were talking about marriage from the get-go.  Neither of us have ever been so happy.

6 months ago I asked him about the ring, since he didn't propose or mention it during that timeframe.  He admitted that he never actually purchased a ring.  He didn't give a clear reason why...just talked about quality/coloring etc.  For some reason I felt lied to and hurt.  I can't imagine a situation that would call for someone to volunteer information like that if it wasn't true.  He probably wouldn't even have told me if I didn't ask.  While I'm in no rush to get married right this moment, I am upset by this situation and am wondering about our future.  Any insight would be helpful.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: SO lied about buying an engagement ring.  Am I right to be upset?  How can we best move forward?
