Hey Ladies!
I was very VERY leery of posting about this subject only because I didn''t want to seem ungrateful or materialistic. I think one of the hardest things about having DSS (as silly as this may sound) is that I''m normally such a practical person. I''m having a small wedding, I am saving for real estate, I buy almost everything secondhand or on eBay. This is not in my nature, and it really bothers me to feel this way. In some sense it unnerves me.
In response to surfgirl, you have great points. I was conscious of them to begin with. My father was abusive and I am very aware that my FH is a wonderful partner. Holly S, I''d give up my ring to be with him in a heartbeat. I am happy with it, but I hate feeling like I want more, you know? I do take great pleasure and pride in my e-ring and he loves to watch me ogle it in the car.
But in any case, as one of diamondfan said, DSS doesn''t make much sense, does it? I did stay away from PS for a while (I stopped posting or lurking a bit) so I could get a breath of air. It helped a lot. But I love this forum and the people on it, so I got back on again. Sighs.
Thank you for the compliments on my ring! I''m very flattered. However, because of the first setting''s damage to the shank with the porosity of the metal, I had to change it. There were weird little black dots showing up. I have a Solasfera solitaire setting now. It''s beautiful, but the first setting really had my heart. I''ve adjusted a lot to this one and love it too.
Miranda, I don''t think I would really have the nerve to pull an upgrade either. I wouldn''t feel good about it, no matter how much I suffered from DSS! I do clean it and when I put it back on my hand it does look ginormous! ^_^ And interestingly enough, I''m not a big jewelry person. I only wear a necklace FH gave me after our first year of dating and my e-ring. That''s it. No watch or nothing, so Erica D, thinking about a RHR wouldn''t be up my alley unfortunately. =P
I don''t know what else to say except that you guys are great. I only wanted to put my feelings out there and not be criticized for feeling this way! I felt like I had no one who I could confide in and not be judged for it.
Thanks all!!
