Hi everyone,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this (and I'm sorry in advance if it's not), but I really needed someone to talk about this and see if anyone had any tips/suggestions on how to deal.
I wore my engagement ring until I got married and now I only wear my wedding band. I don't know what it is exactly, I think I just like having something more practical that never gets in the way. So my engagement ring just sits at the bank.
I feel AWFUL about this when I think about it. It was just over $40k or so and although we aren't needing money right now, I just feel like DH completely wasted that money on it and it makes me feel SO. FREAKING. GUILTY.
I've thought about trying to sell it, but when I brought up the idea in a casual manner with DH, he seemed pretty shocked at the idea, so I dropped it. I know if we did sell, it'd be at a heavy loss, but the idea of making up at least some of the money would make me feel better.
We intend to have (or adopt) kids in the future and of course I will pass it along to my son/daughter, but I still can't help feeling that all that money could be sitting in our bank account right now instead of in a ring that's in a box that never sees the light of day.
I don't know. Sorry for the rambling, everyone. If you can relate at all, it'd be wonderful to hear your stories. And if you have any suggestions about what I could do (either to make myself feel better about it or in terms of taking any action), that would be great too.
Thank you so much for listening, I really appreciate it!
