Removing your ring - Would you get angry?

i wouldn't mind taking it off, but i certainly would mind if my fiance kept it for TWO days!

bad kenny, bad kenny! :cheeky:
 
I DID get a rush out of wearing it for two days in all kind of lighting environments. :Up_to_something: :naughty:
HOLY COW!!!! :love: :love: :love:

And I admit to being jealous. :mrgreen:
I really wish everyone could see this cut in person; it is just so good.
Pics do not do it justice.
 
I don't think DH would ever want to take pix of mine, but I'd be OK with it if he did. Of course, he could only borrow it for the amount of time that the photo session would take, and then back on my paw it goes!!! :Up_to_something:

I think he would be totally understanding of this, though. His ring LIVES on his finger. Seriously, it's all I can do to get him to take it off long enough for me to clean it, which only happens once every couple months or so! But honestly, I'm glad he is so attached to his ring. If he didn't wear it every day, I think I would be bothered by that. And yes, I know that's stupid! LOL! :rolleyes:

And that's saying something because yours is (I know I shouldn't say this about diamonds) BIGGER. :bigsmile:
 
I wouldn't mind if my SO had asked to use my ring and do a photo shoot. I would actually be thrilled! But I would expect it back on my finger within a few hours....Your SO has been very patient and it was pretty nice of you to let him use your ring in the meantime. I can see where he's getting antsy though since it's his ring and he's grown attached to it.
 
DH is not the type to take it (for any reason, but especially to take photos...) but when he even asks to see it, I hate taking it off.
 
Nah I wouldn't mind but then again I don't have an Octavia Asscher! :love:
 
If you sent it to a jeweler for repairs it'd be gone a lot longer than 2 days.

I don't wear my ering most of the time around the house. It's pave and I am careful with it. So I wouldn't mind DH borrowing it for whatever reason although I'd prefer to keep close tract of it.

My advice, get an Octavia for yourself---you know you want one!
 
I was going to say that you need to get another Octavia for yourself, Kenny, but swingirl beat me to it. :twirl:

DH has three different wedding bands, so borrowing one for a couple of days would not be a big deal. Hmmmm, maybe you can get your SO a couple more Octavia rings... :bigsmile:
 
I wouldn't mind at all. My e-ring and wedding band stay in their box. I wore them for a bbq we went to for the 4th of July and I can't remember the last time I wore them before that...and I probably won't wear them again for several months. It's not that they aren't sentimental--in fact, if I lost them I would never replace them because they are not replaceable. I just prefer to go ringless or wear a simple band. My husband hasn't worn a ring in a couple of years. I find is plain platinum band really comfy, so I'll occasionally wear his. He'll even ask me "Is that your ring or mine?" He's really sentimental about his ring as well, so I don't wear it often because I'm afraid of losing it.

If I had an Octavia I'd wear it a time or two :naughty:
 
I would not be angry if my DH wanted to borrow my rings for a day or two, nor would I be angry if he did not wear his rings for a couple days. I cannot imagine many situations where he would borrow mine, but I do know he would take good care of them. The rings are indeed a symbol of our commitment, and they are not our actual commitment. We each feel just as married and committed whether we have them on or not. (As a disclaimer, my current rings were a gift to myself, but they are still a symbol of my commitment/marriage).

Both my DH and I at times do not wear our rings (i.e. I never wear my running, sometimes one or both of us forgets ours at home, if he is in garden all day he won't wear his, and so on - we do not wear them 24/7). However, generally we wear them mos of the time and when we are out. However, I was recently without my rings for 4+ weeks while they were off being re-sized and so on (and I wore my original wedding ring during that time). Our marriage is still strong and intact. :wink2:

So, no, there would not be any anger.

That being said, I can understand your SO wanting his ring back if he feels you are taking your sweet time getting them back to him. I enjoy wearing my rings and I do miss them when I do not have them for a lengthy period of time. I do not need them to be and feel married and committed, but I do very much enjoy looking at them and I do think of my DH when I do look at them (even if they aren't my originals!). Indeed, when they were gone for those 4+ weeks I pestered the vendor near daily about when they would be back! So, if he feels you are sort of taking your time to get them back, I can understand him saying he would like them back.

And if my DH started not to wear his, I would feel a bit disappointed only because so far it is a pattern of his to wear it "most of the time" and he really loves to wear his ring, so it would be a bit unusual for him not to! If he had never really worn his often I would feel a bit different. So, I would talk to him about it and find out what it was (does he want a new ring, is it uncomfortable, etc).

We never swap rings though - DH's ring is too big for any of my fingers, and mine are too tiny for any of his! But, I do think it would be rather fun to be able to do at times! I imagine I could handle that for a few days!

I think you already did state you are aware of this, but I do think your comment that "I gave it to you" was pretty out of line. It was a gift to him, and now you are sort of playing a bit of a control game when you get into "who bought what" and "who gave who what". Be careful of that sort of thing, even if it is just in anger! If I heard a comment like that, I would be pretty peeved!
 
Sorry, Kenny -- I'd be upset too. I'd never trust FI to walk around with my e-ring for two full days and keep it safe and happy. Even if I did, I'd miss it terribly.

Now I might be more inclined to see your side if you let me wear your ascher for a couple of days.... :wink2:



So... where are the pictures? You had 2 full days to take pictures and not a single one posted in this thread???
 
Thanks TP. :wink2:
