TUDOR Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 So I noticed that I lost my wedding ring on my way home last night and I wasn't sure what to do. The chances of finding it are not likely. So I went and bought another one at lunch before the wife noticed it missing. Question is should I tell her or just not worry about it? Link to post Share on other sites
CurlyIam Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 How could you lose it? Did you take it off? Link to post Share on other sites

LucreziaBorgia Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 I guess the answer lies in how much it will worry you not to tell her. If you don't tell her, don't worry about it and she doesn't notice she's none the wiser. But, if you want to be honest with her and get it off your chest, just tell her that you lost it - and in a panic bought one during lunch, and that you felt bad for not telling her to begin with.

Author TUDOR Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 Originally posted by CurlyIam How could you lose it? Did you take it off? It was very innocent I assure you. I was with my brother, dad, and grand dad yesterday afternoon. We went out to the local track to practice racing. We race go-karts in racing league in our area. Something the boys could do for fun. I don't know when I lost it but on the way home I realized it was gone. I never took it off. Link to post Share on other sites
tiki Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Just tell her. Maybe she'll buy a nicer one for you. Link to post Share on other sites
Author TUDOR Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 I loved the one I had so I just went and bought the same one. It's like it never happened except this one isn't the one she gave me the day of our wedding and I feel guilty about that. But I would rather feel guilty I think than to upset her. She is a major drama queen and will make this a big deal. Link to post Share on other sites
Skeered Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Go ahead and tell her how you lost it and that you replaced it quickly because you didn't want to hurt her. Maybe call the go-kart track and see if anyone returned it...maybe it fell off in the kart? Also were you wearing gloves? No worries just tell her now before she finds out later and gets ideas of why you would cover that up. just my .02 Link to post Share on other sites
IhavenoFREAKINclue Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Nah don't tell her. If you got one that looks the same...who cares. Its not like the original was blessed by the pope. Jewelry can be replaced. And your human...ya lose things....whether it was your car keys or your wedding band....How do you know she didn't do the same? Keeping something for as long as you live is pretty hard. Link to post Share on other sites
CurlyIam Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Tell her. And pray she believes you. Rings are important to me. Maybe she won't make a fuss about it. Just be honest. P.S. You're cute about buying quickly a new one . Link to post Share on other sites
blind_otter Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 I remember my exhusband lost his wedding band like 3 times. The first time? The day after we got married!! Assmonkey that he is. Anyways if she would make a big stink I say don't tell her. That's JMO, though. Link to post Share on other sites
tiki Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Tell her! And hit the track with a metal detector so that you can return your other one. Link to post Share on other sites
Merin Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 If you bought a new one, did you purchase it at a jewelery shop with a credit card? Now your wife is going to see the charge on the statment and wonder who you're buying jewelery for! God, I'm such a Girl! Link to post Share on other sites
ConfusedInOC Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Do you care about integrity? If so, this is what you do: Ask yourself what is the right thing to do and then DO IT. I think you'll make the right decision. Link to post Share on other sites
Author TUDOR Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 I called my dad and had him check all the racing gear and trailer that we haul the karts around in. He couldn't find it. But both him and my brother are aware that I lost it out there so I am not worried about her not believing my story or anything. But I think the rings are a big deal and I don't want her to think I didn't care enough about it not to loose it. I would freak if she lost hers but there was a lot more put into hers to freak about it. As big a mouth as my dad has I'm sure he will let it slip out any way. I panicked this morning and hid my hands when I left the house so she wouldn't notice the missing ring. Got to work checked LS then started making calls to locate a jeweler with my exact ring. Luckily I got the exact one just looks like the old polished up a bit. Link to post Share on other sites

You're human, you make mistakes like everyone else. She'll forgive you if you are honest and up front with her. The fact you replaced it so quickly will comfort her that it means a lot to you to wear that ring. Link to post Share on other sites
Author TUDOR Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 Ok, so I felt guilty about the ring and didn't want my loud mouth family to let it out. So I got up early Sat. morning and drove out to where I lost my ring. I found in about 30 minutes and was back home by 8:30 before my wife was even out of bed. When she got up I put on both rings, the new one and the original, and told her what had happened. She said I should have just told her to begin with and she would have helped me looked for it. She wasn't mad but I have my suspensions it was because I had the original ring back and no need to get too mad. Just thought I would update you all and let you know all is well with Lord of the Rings!! Link to post Share on other sites
Illusion24 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Just go to church with her but don't tell her why. Once you get their tell her to wait inside the church next to the Holy Water and tak the ring and put it in her hand. Once you do that do a minnie version of your vowels and have it blessed with each other in God's own home. That would be nice and a way to make it meaningful again and that way she won't think your a creep for losing it Oh well now that I read the WHOLE POST you're under control Link to post Share on other sites

Author TUDOR Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 Thanks guys, I don't pretend to always know the right thing to do but I got some good advice and in the end did the right thing. But I'll be back, this was a small drop in the bucket to some other issues that I will have to post about sooner or later. Thanks again. Link to post Share on other sites
SexKitten Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 i think it's funnt that you checked LS before making calls about your ring!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Thinkalot Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I am so pleased you found the ring! and I think its sweet you rushed straight out and got a new one! I would have told straight away- I'm not good at hiding anything! lol Link to post Share on other sites
portableversion Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 A couple of years ago I was at the car wash, the manual kind. My ring fell off and rolled into the trap. I found the attendant and he gave me a bucket I sifted through the muck and grime and found it after 20 minutes! The suspense was intense. Link to post Share on other sites
