My friend has been proposed to. She loves him dearly and wants to spend the rest of her life with him.
He is a lovely chap. She said yes and is very happy.
He proposed with his mums engagement ring - mum is still alive but hasn’t worn the ring for years - and he’s really happy that it’s something that has been passed down and can continue to be passed to their own future children etc.
He had it professionally cleaned and it fits her well but she really really doesn’t like it at all. It’s a pretty ring but it’s not her taste whatsoever and she doesn’t know if she should be honest or wear it for the next however many years to save everyone’s feelings.
When she shows it to people you can see that it makes her uncomfortable, it’s not a ring she wants to show off.
I don’t think I could tell him the truth and would have to wear it, what would you do?
