[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That he lost his wedding ring. Can we get another ring before Saturday in either Bethesda or Silver Spring? [b]And no, he's not having an affair.[/b][/quote]

How can you be so sure?  Don't be so quick to dismiss.
His sub-conscience is obviously telling you something.
When someone shows you who they are, you'd better listen.

Typical DCUM reaction--don't take an OP at her word; assume she's deceiving herself because of course no one should be confident in a spouse's fidelity; and turn any topic, however small, into a potentially marriage-killing situation the poor OP is just too blind to see. Toss in some armchair faux psychology for good measure. Sit back feeling good you helped OP with her real problem.

Ignore these PPs who are projecting their own pasts or problems onto your situation, OP.

OP, isn't you mom going to notice and ask questions anyway if she realizes any new ring is not the one your DH has had previously? Or was his ring very plain and easily replaced with a look-alike? Either way I do agree with those who say not to get one. Point it out as soon as she walks in and act like it's funny then drop it. Every time she brings it up after that: "Mom, WE are fine with this. How about that episode of show X-- I was so surprised when..." Firm reminder followed by change of topic. EVERY time. If you scramble like this over her reaction lost ring, imagine the gymnastics you'll end up doing to avoid her questions and prying over bigger things in years to come. Now is a chance to start showing you and DH do not respond to her questions. [/quote]
