Would you be honest?

If you didn't like your engagement ring wether it's uncomfortable to wear or just not you would you be honest and tell him or would you just wear it and accept that it's your engagement ring ?

If it was uncomfortable then I'd say so! Uncomfortable in the sense of it feels annoying?

With regards to saying it's not you, I probably wouldn't! It depends though, is it too big? Too small? To extravagant and you wanted low key?

Just wanted to know if you genuinely did not like your engagement ring if you would wear it or not

I'd tell him if I didn't like it. You're the one who's going to be wearing it.

Tell him nicely and exchange it for something you would wear.

It's up to you.

Could you speak to your partner? He may take offence!

We need more info. Is it newly given and is there a possibility of changing or adapting it? Or have you had it ten years and always hated it or grown to dislike it?

My friend was presented with hers and found the band dug into her finger so she told him and they had a nice day going back to a very well known seller of big rocks and had a lovely time choosing a new one.

If however it's a family heirloom is that you, Kate? you might have to suck it up and gradually wear it less and less.

If it's uncomfortable, get it resized.

If you don't like it, then either get used to it or tactfully suggest you love the sentiment of the ring, but not the ring itself.

I would get it resized if uncomfortable and if I didn't like it I would say so (in a jokey way).

If I didn't like i would say so, in a " darling, I love you, but you've got shite taste in rings, lets go change this together". However I'd subtly check in advance that changing it is an option. If it's not an option i.e. The merchant won't permit it, then I would wear it.
