Is it wrong to get a new wedding band?

[Anonymous]

After having my first DD my knuckles never went back to their original size, so my wedding band and engagement ring no longer fit. My DH got me a new larger ring that I wear now. It doesn't bother me at all that it's not the original band. I can always wear the original band and engagement ring on a necklace if I want to, and I kind of like that my newer one represents how our little family has grown over the years.

I hated my original wedding band, which may explain how I managed to "lose" it, even though it had a nice sized diamond in it! But I hate diamonds, and that particular stone had belonged to an ancestor of DH's.

For years, I wore a plain silver band that DH bought me at the beach when we were on our honeymoon.

A couple years ago, DH bought me the band I'd always wanted -- inlaid with several stones (not diamonds), and I love it.

It's not disloyal, OP, unless you think so. Do what you want, and please yourself.

Funny, I am in the opposite boat. I have a platinum wedding ring with diamonds around the band and rarely wear it, because water gets trapped underneath in the diamond "baskets" and causes my finger to get a rash. I guess people may think I am not married?!!?! I want DH to get me a simple platinum or silver band to wear everday. I do wear my wedding and engagement ring for special occaisions but they are just too much for every day and make me feel self-conscience. I also think a plain band is just more comfortable.

You sound like a peach!

And OP sounds like a friend of mine who got a $20,000 ring because that's what she wanted but when her soon to be husband gave it to her she thought it was too small so she took it to 4 jewelers to make sure it was really worth what he said it was worth. It really hurt his feelings that she was doing that.
