Nweddings:

If it were me, then I will tell him; this is the guy you are going to get married to, so there shouldn’t be any pretence about things and you should be open with each other.

Yes, he may feel hurt but not too much if you make a joke about it and generally make light of the situation.

Ask him to accompany you to go and pick another one. It's a ring you will wear for a long time so there is no point wearing something you don’t like

On the other hand if you know he is going to be heartbroken & not cope very well with the news if you tell him that you don’t like the ring, then you can tell him that you lost it and hopefully he will replace it; this time making sure that you accompany him to the jewellers. wink



LOL! U could break his heart over this, cos it might have been a passed down ring from great grand mother. . .lol

I simply won't put on an ugly ring. And in telling him I have to be diplomatic, maybe put it like, "i love the ring so much but it looks ugly on my fingers, my fingers need a prettier ring for it to be beautiful" just a reason to have it off my fingers

Re: How Do You Tell Him That You Hate Your Engagement Ring by Tanddy: 3:12pm On Aug 17, 2009

1. Even at the risk of killing the surprise, I will carry my fiance along with the choice of engagement ring. At least I should be sure of her taste, desires and expectations as per engagement ring. As harsh as it sounds, if I goof in that choice, then we have a lot of work to do about getting to know each other and settling down as husband and wife.

2. If the babe can not discuss about her opinion about the engagement ring, or if she can not say it in such a manner that will not lead to disagreement, then maybe they should not go ahead to get married without doing more work on their relationship. I said this because she will one day need to discuss (complain or nag) about her sexual needs, family issues, and tons of other things in marriage. So they should be able to communicate dissatisfaction without bringing the other fellow down. The other fellow should also learn to take correction (or criticism) without feeling umloved.

As long as it is cheaper, then no problem.  grin

Re: How Do You Tell Him That You Hate Your Engagement Ring by r231(m): 5:05pm On Aug 17, 2009
Actually it happened to me, well the ring is not as bad as you explained it but in my situation I asked her later if she liked it cus she is funky about things sometimes and she ask if I still have the receipt maybe we can go together to change it for another one of the same value or less.which we end up changing at the end of the day, So I guess you can tell him in a good way

**Lost the ring on purpose and then he will be forced to get U a new one. **Make sure u are 100% involve in the picking of the new ring so u can finally be please**
Re: How Do You Tell Him That You Hate Your Engagement Ring by SeanT21(f): 2:25am On Aug 18, 2009
Gabry:

I agree with that but I think at times the truth is really harsh. . . sad and lost it? Oh noooo,, , , , He will be furious!!! Especially if its from his grandma or he bought it at an expensive price or he would think u are not taking this vow seriously. . . cry

Yes as easy as it seems, but how do you tell him the way you will not get his feeling's hurt? Especially if its a very expensive ring or it his passed down from his ancestors. . . Give me an example on how would you say it.


Dont you think that would really hurt his feelings and that he will definitely know that you hates the ring?


And what would you say?


But what if the guy is a sensitive hot temper type? Like maybe theres reasons why the girl is behaving as such. . .


HAAA! I know I told you something but I am not referring to him naaa grin


Wow! U are and your boo is sooo cool! If only every couple can be like that. wink


We are not talking about Gold Diggers here. We are talking about wearing something which will represent you towards society your whole life. Lets say if you have to go to work everyday with a Neck Tie and I gave you the ugliest neck tie to wear. Maybe the neck tie has like laces and grandma florals with holes will you wear it to work eveyday?


No it did not. My baby has good taste wink


LMAO!!! grin grin grin



And how do you stylishly tell him? smiley


Your site better be related to my topic or I will erase it. undecided


Dont you think that will worsen the situation? He might have no more budget for another ring or that ring belongs to his mother. . . sad cry


So what if it belongs to his mother??.If he has the money then I will lost it on purpose. If he dont then I guess I will have to live with the ugly ring.
