to be bloody furious at DH for losing his wedding ring today

[yogimum]

i just wish he would take it off when working outside.

I'd give it a few weeks before ordering a new one - you may find it again.

Dh lost his months ago.

We're sure its somewhere in the house, because he never wears it for work (health & safety)

Was a bit peeved when he first told me, but tbh, it bothers him more than me

this has made me realise i need to try and find my rings, i know they are about somewhere.

i cant wear them to work so only put them on when we go out, i have never worn my engagment ring though because dh picked it to surprise me with and i really dont like it.

i would be gutted if i lost my eternity ring, dh saved every penny he could when he was in bosnia for 6 months to buy me a eternity ring for my 21st (which was 2 days after he got home, 3 days before xmas) and it just holds so many good memories of that time for me.

aww its a shame for both you and him. I am sure he didnt mean to lose it. perhaps you should purchase a cheaper but still as sentimental ring so that he can wear it everyday. Chances are though he will never lose that one !!

fiofio i can beat your honeymoon with.....

ta da

No honeymoon...lol

It was an accident. I'm sure he's as gutted as you are.

Its a shame but its not the end of the world. Mine had to be cut off when I was pg with dd fifteen years ago - its still in a box waiting to be mended. It probably wouldnt even fit now but its never bothered either of us one bit that I dont wear one (dh never had one anyway). Dont be angry with your dh - there are far more important things to worry about.

MIL showed up this morning saying they are buying him another. Now that has infuriated me.

That would REALLY wind me up yogimum.

Eurgh, that's a little too close if you ask me.

YABU to make a fuss over an accident. It can happen so easily.

YANBU to not want your MIL to buy another.

Just say that you will not be getting another as you do not need such frivolities.

dh lost his feeding the ducks with ds last month. It flew off!
So it's at the bottom of a muddy pond.
I'm not sure if we'll bother to replace it, dh wants to, but then it's him who feels a little strange without it.

In any case I'm sure your dh does value the ring.

And tbh I wouldn't want mil to replace it either.

MIL saying she wants to replace it is just bizarre.

I take it you said thanks for the thought but over my dead body?

I'd rather wear one made of aluminium foil than one my in-laws had bought.

No get out of MIL replacing the ring! I'm sure she means well but rings are personal!

My DP bought me a lovely engagement ring but he didn't tell me it was paste (we don't have very much money) and it fell apart before long, so we got matching wooden rings but mine didn't quite fit right and I lost it and he found his too thick and uncomfortable. We then got matching glass rings... Mine broke! (DP still wears his but he has to swap hands when he's playing guitar) His mother rummaged around in her jewellery box and found one of his grandmothers rings and gave it to me. I thought it was a lovely thought but I didn't really like it and then I found it was plated and it turned my finger green! (DP's sis had bought it for her nan when she was 10 or so so it wasn't gonna be expensive!)
DP then bought me a silver butterfly ring which I loved, my favourite of all the rings so far but MIL hated it and she gave me one of her gold rings which I wore on the wrong hand, it wasn't from DP after all, I was wearing HIS ring already! Anyway, now I'm pregnant I've become sensitive to the silver ring and it makes me itch so I'm having to wear his moms ring anyway!
Does this tale of woe smack of disaster or what!

He has lost a ring by accident. Give him a break. It's not like he has been cheating on you is it? Poor man.

I've had 2 weddings rings - lost both - first was when I was out doing Avon on a cold winters afternoon........scoured the streets I'd been delivering brochures on and couldn't find it - then DH bought me a new one......lost that at home somewhere, DH then managed to lose his wedding ring (again out in the cold) at work.

I currently wear no ring at all as we've decided that we'll wait until we can buy some really nice ones (all 3 were rather cheap...) and then replace, and my engagement ring has 2 stones missing from it and is waiting for the cash to fix it.

I wouldn't be angry at your DH TBH......

I did a thread like this a few months ago except I wasn't furious, just a bit sad. Anyway I found dh's ring a few weeks later in a place so obscure that I cannot even describe it. It made me laugh though because I knew exactly how my dippy dh came to put it there. I'd certainly give it a few weeks before ordering another.

You've ordered a new one from Tiffany already ????

what if you find it tomorrow ? - if you're not going to bother looking in the garden for it can I come round and have a search -could really do with that grand

We bought a metal detector today but it was quite dark so first thing in the morning we'll be out looking. I cancelled the order just in case it shows up. DH said he'll refuse his parents offer. She means well but it does make me mad sometimes. I was going to order ds a lovely duffle coat and then she showed up with one yesterday.

I was very pre menstrual yesterday but thats another thread.

at least your dh had it on! mine wore his for a couple of months after the wedding, took it off at night cos it 'hurt' his hand - it was quite big. It's been on his keyring ever since - 8 years. It doesn't matter to me, cos he's here forever, ring or not

My dp won't wear a ring when we get married . I wish he would but he's one of these men who won't consider it. He hates it that I remove my engagement band to wash my hands though - he's convinced that I'm going to walk off and leave it there . Not flipping likely!!
