Accidentally found engagement ring

[lockdownbabyx]

I feel SO bad! Was looking for a pair of plain black socks in my partners sock drawer ( I prefer his 😂) and found an engagement ring in there. I was in complete shock. My sister called me about 2 mins after and I told her my discovery and she knew all about it as she has helped him pick it, plan it etc. i feel so so bad, I love surprises and now feel like I've ruined it for both of us. I wouldn't have expected it at all so it would have been a complete surprise too.
I'm not going to tell my partner I know, but I can't help but feel awful now 😔. I'm worried my reaction when the time comes will give it away and ruin his moment for him. Anyone else ever done this?

Yeah I know - so shitty. It doesn't bode well for the marriage, if the OP didn't bother to think about her BF's feelings. It wasn't her fault that she found the ring, but telling her sister was so mean.

This happened to me. I found my ring too (in a crap hiding place!). I told my mum that I’d found it and felt similarly disappointed about the surprise being ruined. He took me to such a posh spa hotel for absolutely no reason and I knew it was so he could propose, I was waiting for it the whole weekend so that I could act surprised etc.

Well imagine my confusion when we packed up to go home and even on the drive home with no proposal?!

He still managed to take me by complete surprise when we got home to a lounge filled with roses, champagne on ice and my ring on the coffee table! He hadn’t even taken the ring with him to the spa and instead had some friends come round and set the proposal up for our return home! …..so you never know, he might still take you off guard and surprise you and you won’t have to fake a reaction!

"Doesn't bode well for the marriage" oh bore off 😂

Yes something like this. Otherwise you'll always remember the moment he proposed as a lie and years down the line if u tell him he might feel silly. Bad karma I reckon.

Do lots of special things and ease the blow for him.

Wait; it will still be a surprise still as you don’t know exactly how/when. Just feel excited and wait!!!!!

DONT TELL HIM!!!

❤️

Don’t tell him! You and your sister must keep it a secret! He’ll be so crestfallen if he knows you found it - and it will ruin whatever he has planned for the moment he asked you.

I did the same once - found an engagement ring in a cupboard belonging to a man I was hoping to marry - but as it was next to a photograph of his ex-fiancé in a sort of shrine…it wasn’t the same somehow. That relationship didn’t last much longer.

What happened?

This happened to me - not a ring found, but my husband is so obvious when trying to hide surprises, so I guessed what was happening. I knew he would propose the day he did, but I was so shocked when it happened I nearly couldn't speak. It was magnificent. I mean, I already knew we would get married, we talked about kids, marriage and went to try on engagement rings. The surprise was WHEN he would propose.
