Here’s a thought...maybe that ring was an heirloom....like it belonged to his Grandma.

Selling it would NOT be a good thing. Take it back, throw that beotch out on her plump ass, and find a caring and GRATEFUL woman to give it to.

Been married for 36 years. He was in college and working when he gave me the ring which cost about $235 (he still has the receipt somewhere). It was a simple white gold band with an itty-bitty diamond but he picked it out and gave it to me so I was happy. He was 20 and I was 19 when we married. It may have been up-sized a little but I’m wearing the ring right now.

He just had a big time wake up call. Use it wisely.

Strike 1: She went through his nightstand...
Strike 2: she’s ungrateful for the effort...
Strike 3: she shamed him publicly...

Run,don’t walk...and learn from the near miss.

I like the ring. Not too gaudy, diamonds are set into the ring, not sticking out. Good taste.

But like the others have said, Dude .... her publicizing her unhappiness with your ring is actually a pair of running shoes. Put them on and RUN.

A jeweler can stretch the band to fit. They have a machine for it. Gold is ductile.

I may have to do that. I kept hoping I would weigh my 18 y.o. weight again :-)

Funny...that looks almost exactly like my wife’s ring that she had redone after she got a ring with two diamonds from her mother...the engagement ring I gave her only had one rock! She took those two from her mother and put them on it...:)

Hmmm. Those hands holding it don’t make her look like any kind of physical prize...just saying.

She wants to complain? What a tool. Someone is gonna complain about her hands...or the rest of her.

Being pudgy isn’t grounds for criticism, but being pudgy on the outside and also being pudgy on the inside just opens you right up.

Yes! We are more excited about the nice guy who wants to marry us than we are about some metal and a clear rock :-)

Just the fact she was rummaging around in his stuff should be warning enough.

Well, if they were living together, she could have been looking for nail clippers or flashlight batteries. My husband has things like that in his nightstand.

He needs to move on. She is suppose to be marrying him, not the ring. DUMP HER!

I love the clean simplicity and meaning of my wedding band. I am sentimental by default, and the ring means far more to me than any money it is worth.

I have lost it several times...once when took it off in my car because my hands were completely dry and chapped, and sitting in the parking lot at work before going into work, I removed my ring and put some moisturizer on my hands, but when I went to put the ring back on it squirted out of my slippery hands and disappeared. I thought “No problem, it went under the seat.”

But when I looked, it wasn’t there. I looked for about a half hour, and couldn’t find it. So I figured I would look after work, but I got about five feet away from the car, and thought “What if it went into one of my pockets, or worse, fell into the cuff on my pants? So I am out in the parking lot, patting myself down...no ring.

I came out after work and looked, still no ring. Then, when I got home, broke out lights, removed the carpets, looked for another hour, still no ring. The next day was Saturday, so that morning I went out and removed the seats.

Still no ring.

Finally, I removed the dashboard and the center console, and I found the ring.

You know the kind of “brushy” things found on each side of the emergency brake (I guess to keep things from getting inside the mechanism)? Well, when the slippery ring launched itself out of my hand, it went straight up in front of me, did a little somersault, and disappeared out of my line of sight as it depended, and went sideways cleanly through the little brushy things and down into the mechanism! I took a picture of it when I found it, but I don’t have it available to post! Unbelievable!

Then I lost my ring about a year ago during the winter (I had lost some weight and it just fell off, apparently) and my wife and I went back to the museum we walked out of earlier, and found it in the slushy parking lot. I was lucky, because I noticed it was gone when I got home, and we had only gone to that one place.

About a month ago, I lost it again (because my weight was down) and this time I was heartbroken because I knew for certain I would never find it. I remembered having it when we left to go on vacation at the beginning of the week, and only noticed it was gone the day before we left to go home...it could have been anywhere. But when we were cleaning the house to leave, something caught my wife’s eye under the bed, and...there it was!
