I Don’t Like My Ring

[Anonymous]

I know this sound so bad but I just don’t like my ring. It’s a nice ring but it’s not my style. I know my boyfriend seemed super proud of his choice and I don’t want to hurt his feelings. Should I say something or keep my mouth shut?

Don’t say anything. Change it out when you pick out wedding rings and tell him that it’s b/c it’s easier to wear together, or they coordinate better...whatever.

Or change it when you have been married a while.

Right now, I think it might really deflate his excitement.

You are right, it does sound bad. Don't say anything, unless you really don't want to marry him. You can either learn to like it, or wear it until after the wedding and just wear a wedding band after. Or just wear it when you go out. Let it remind you that your life isn't perfect, but its pretty darn good.

Something you should have talked about before the proposal. Now you suck it up and deal with it

What's wrong with it?

Don't marry someone who has such different taste and not enough sense to consult you.

I felt the same way about my gaudy 3ct. It grew on me. I eventually wore a $20 tungsten band off of eBay. Got tired of assumptions and was terrified I would hit the wrong thing and the stone would go flying. I had a pave band and a few diamonds came loose in those too.

Don’t tell him. Say nothing. Ever. EVER!!

No, do not say anything.

Sometimes there is a thirty day return policy. Wonder if you could find out whether he is still within that window.

I would recommend you only broach this if you really hate it. Like it is super uncomfortable or something

Reason #582 engagement rings are dumb AF.

The only way I would say something is if the stone were in the shape of a heart. And I would probably break up with him while returning the ring.


I’m only half joking

This is why I spent weeks on my own looking for the perfect ring. Then I told SO at the time, this is the store and they have the ring I like on file.
He went and bought it and proposed a few weeks later.

Yeah, bitchy control freaks do this.

My BF and now DH was smart enough to know not to buy a ring without my input. He cut a deal with a jeweler that it was contingent on my liking it and he told me so. He is no dummy!
