MIL trying on my engagement ring

I'm like that too.
If I buy something and something bad or negative happens on that particular day, even not directly connected to me for example a celebrity dies, I get rid if the item, chuck it, return or sell so it doesn't have the connection to it that day when it happened, even if I love the item. It just has to go..
In this case I would get rid of the ring if it gives you negative mil vibes. It's forever..

FFS. It's a ring. She liked it and tried it on. Grow up.

Bad energies? You’ve got that woohoo disposition and likely you’ll be perpetually in emotional turmoil about something. All your life

That is not how karma works ffs. Grow up.

Get the sage on it and put it under a full moon.

Mine tried to try mine on too. It wouldn't go on her finger so she sniffily said 'you must have very slim fingers, your ring is tiny!'

I don't, she thinks I'm overweight (we're about the same) but was clearly shocked my big fat fingers are smaller than hers.

I wouldn't have felt it was tainted, had it fit her, but I did think it was a weird thing to do.

Mine also has big problems with boundaries, being over bearing and generally over stepping.

I think you’re getting a hard time on here. I know exactly the type of person you’re talking about. (Not my MIL may I add) but I have seen people like this and they do these things to get a rise out of people. So I don’t think you’re being a diva at all

She was out of order trying it on without your permission and I think most people would know that. I think you are being overly dramatic though.

I think that things can carry energy too. I don't think it happens from a brief wearing though. There is the chance that other people tried on the ring in the shop or that the person making it/handling it also has bad energy and you don't seem to feel that would taint it.

I think your associations are more powerful and you are the only person who can change that. Try to see ot as her being complimentary about it and enjoying it.

I believe that is extremely silly.

I dont know if it's been asked, but how would you feel if the person, apart from your husband, that you loved the most did this?
If your best friend tried it on and said, oh, this is so nice! What do you think of it on me?:

Your best friend/ loved one, whoever, maybe have do e bad shit rhY you don't know about. What about their ' negative energy'

Maybe a bit annoying but without your mother in law your fiancée wouldn't be here !

Who does she think she is.. Gollum? I feel less strongly about engagement rings, but a wedding ring is a symbol of a sacred bond, and i wouldn't be happy about anyone else wearing my wedding ring. I can understand why it feels tainted. I suspect reinforcing your boundries will be a full-time job with this one. The world needs a spouse based version of NATO to keep these pesky MIL's at bay. In the ancient Wiccan tradition, women would place their rings on a piece of rose quartz, and repeat "fuck you mother in law" in Gallic, three times whilst smudging with burning mugwort, and listening to Clannad. Try that maybe?

Perhaps you are the bad energy in this instance, and some of the negative responses you are receiving on here is simply the effect of that?

I'm not sticking up for the op at all, but I don't believe she's going to marry her MIL.

personally, I wouldn’t pay any mind to it

I once gave someone a piece of jewellery & shortly afterwards the friendship (which had been going south) went completely toxic. She gave the jewellery back, saying she didn't want it. I rather liked it, but I felt it was tainted.

So I invented a little 'cleansing ceremony', something with incense &/or candles, probably, so that the cleansing happened over about half an hour.

After that I felt it was clean of its previous associations, & I happily wear it from time to time.

I'm not saying anything happened to the jewellery: it was all about changing how I felt about the jewellery. It may not make sense to anyone else, but it made sense to me. Maybe you could try something like that?

If you have a rocky relationship now,why on earth get married?

Why leave it anywhere she can see it? How odd to do this though. She’s not tainted it but you gave her the opportunity. Look in the bright side - she liked it! She could have said it was c€*! Insert something derogatory. She’s not all bad!

Since it's bothering you, try having a look at this.

She totally should do that next.

I think yabu.

What does your fiance make of the strained relationship you have with his mum?

And how is she supposed to check it to see if it has been cleansed after all those above steps??

1000% this. This is a choice you are making, to decide if your ring is tainted or not because someone tried it on. Doesn’t really matter who, the decision sits with you. And honestly if you can’t get past that and keep the ring, then it is hard to imagine you’re not a contributor to the poor relationship because that’s not particularly rational mature adult behaviour.

I'm feeling a bit sorry for the mil, NGL.

It was tongue in cheek...
I was waiting to see if the OP was actually married...or just one of those that like to use the term MIL inorder to slate off their boyfriends/fiance mother.

If there's no wedding ring there's no MIL...

I have a, and yes it's a me problem but hey, with posters posting about "their MIL" when they are not in fact married to the woman's son.

If the OP is that upset about this they best be set to buckle down as there's probably a lot more they're going to find annoying in future from their "MIL"
