what would you do?

I was never given an engagment ring when my now husband proposed. (When we went the next day to look at them he said something that was just a dick of him to say but thats a whole other story). He gave me his mothers wedding ring when we got married which i wasnt too happy about with either but i later got to pick one out BUUUT I don't like my wedding band. I have had it for a couple of years. Funny thing is is that I was the the one who picked it out. Its pretty and everything but I don't "love" it. But thing was I was going through some major depression during that time and when I was trying on rings I got super anxious and just picked the ring so I could get back home. Later when I was a bit better I would drag him into jewery stores to try other rings on and of course he would say "you have a ring" "you don't need it". But I wanted a new one. I finally told him last night directly. I could tell it kind of upsetted him but he said I could get a new ring. I know were going through some rough times right now with our marriage and I'm kind of afriad to get a new right to cause maybe more tension. But I also (sounds weird) tend to carry emotion through my processions sometimes if that makes sense. Like this ring. I was in a really bad place in my life when I got it and now that I'm really better I cant love it because its not something I would pick normally...idk should I get a new ring?

  • I'd only do it if ur finacially able to. If u r then i really see no reason not to. :)
  • Maybe you could try to see it as a symbol of how far you've come since your depression...to turn it into a positive. (I mean if you can't or don't get a new one.)
  • I agree with Wilsomom. Also, he may be upset because he got it for you as a symbol of y'alls commitment. Maybe you could add on to it. Personally I don't agree with getting a new ring. Those were put on your finger and your wedding day and mean something. A new ring doesn't
  • Can you give it some time so it won't cause immediate stress, and you can see if your feelings might change? My husband got me a "starter" engagement ring nothing like the one I really wanted, but he promised he was going to get me a better one someday. That was 5 years ago, and I'm not expecting a new one anytime soon. I still don't love the ring itself, but I love the memories I have of him presenting it to me, and wearing it as a newly engaged bride-to-be. That's what I think of when I look at it. :-)
