I have been engaged for four years, together for ten, we have 3 children and we are just about to get married. When we got engaged he gave me a very expensive gold ring with a diamond, bought on HP, and then recently he gave me an eternity ring that matches with seven diamonds (also on HP, could still be returned I think)!
I know I sound unbelievably ungrateful but I just hate them both- I don't like yellow gold or diamonds, I find them really showy and ostentatious and large and just not me at all. I can't really expect him to know what sort of jewellery I like as I don't really have much, so it isn't him being oblivious.
The thing is, we are so skint at the moment and having a major cashflow crisis and he is considering selling his precious electric guitar that saw him through his teenage years, university band etc.
I would so much rather sell my rings and get one ring that I actually like, e.g small, vintage silver or platinum with a ruby or emerald or another sparkly stone that I love but would be much cheaper.
Shall I confess my secret to him or just sit on it for the rest of my married life?
