Should I be mad?

[MischaPhillips88]

My lovely wife lost her engagement ring, I’m so mad I can’t see strait, she lost it in our house. I have torn the house apart looking for it; she put it down somewhere and now it gone. After the birth of our son her hands would swell, so I told her that she should have it refitted, but no! She does not ware it all the time, so I told her to put it in the safe, but no! I know where my wedding ring is at all times, it’s on my hand. Seriously if I was not Catholic this could be the last straw.

I've lost mine before and just never told him, so give her some credit. It's there, just in a silly place you haven't thought to look yet.

 

[MischaPhillips88]

But I'm the only one who's looking for it, That is what's making me mad.

My DH lost his wedding band. We found it in our son's shirt drawer 3 days later. Tell her she needs to help you look for it. Its only fair.

I'd imagine she's not thrilled about the loss either, so I don't think being angry with her is the solution. Keep looking near sinks, under cushions, etc. and hopefully it will turn up. Is the ring insured? My jeweler's insurance covers damage, theft, or, most importantly in this case, loss. If it isn't insured, then I strongly encourage insurance for any other jewelry.

She doesn't act like she cares either way, yes its insured, but it the acting like she does not care that has me so angry.

I would not be mad. My DH lost his wedding ring in our house. We searched and searched for months. It had diamonds in it so cost a good amount of $$. He was not worried about it. He said it was just a symbol and he didn't need it to remind him he was married. I bought him a simple band anyway to remind others he was married. A few months later we found the first wedding band in one of my many empty pocketbooks. No idea how it got there. He now wears the original and I have no idea where the other one is. So, no, I would not be mad. You will find it eventually.

It sounds like she's confident that she will find it so she's not panicking. Mad? Eh. Mildly irritated? Sure.

I hope she finds it soon. Also I hope she doesn't see this thread because if I found out my husband was complaining about me to random strangers on the internet, I'd be pretty upset.

Good luck.

Don't be mad, I lose my ring all the time. It was gone for over a year at one point, I ended up finding it at the bottom of the kids toy box. I'm guessing it slipped off while I was cleaning up after them...

Granted, my ring is much cheaper than my wifes, but you need to remember who you love here, the ring, or the girl.

And besides, she's not looking for it because it's at the local jeweler getting sized as a surprise gift to herself, from you.

I lost mine for a few months right before we were suppose to get married. He went out and bought me a new set, a few weeks later we find the original one in my socks drawer.

worry about some ring is less important then other things in life.. look at me, my car needs a new motor, and i know can't go do the things i wanted to do in life because of it, becuase a new motor is more important then a disney cruise ... i think you need to get your priorities straight!..AN i now cant have the gorgeous dream wedding i always wanted. cause the time i get married i will be paying for my own wedding...thanks to my car for making all this possible

Try not to sweat the small stuff... I know they are expensive but in the end it is a replaceable object.

Maybe she isnt looking because she knows it will turn up in the end...

But seriously Anger towards your loved one isnt the best way to go/

 

[MischaPhillips88]

I guess you all are right!

 

[bateman]

I guess you all are right!

All you have to remeber is that she loves you and thats all that matters...

 

[Funball]

I thik that if I ever lost a ring that matt gave me, he would not be mad, because that ring is replaceable I’m not, he cares more about me and my well being then some ring.. so crying over spilt milk on some ring is going about it the wrong way..

I gathered you have little ones. Small items tend to grow legs with little ones about. I suggest looking under the couch and on the ground next to end tables where your wife likes to sit/set thimgs down. On top on the fridge is another good hidding spot. Also check the kids' favorite hidding places.

 

[MischaPhillips88]

No, you guys are right! I need to lighten up.

When I first got married, the diamonds in my wedding/engagement rings kept getting loose to the point where I was borderline losing them. Despite extra claws being put on the settings to secure the diamonds, it was easier and safer to keep them in my jewerly case than to wear them. They are now kept in our safe, and only wear them for special occassions. Don't worry, they'll turn up when you least expect it. It's not that she's not worried about the loss, it's just that she knows that she will eventually remember where she put them. Since they were lost in the house, they are not "LOST" they are misplaced, and will turn up sooner or later, but let's all hope sooner.

Make sure you check in the sink too, I used to take my rings off when doing dishes (when I was married, I'm not now so no rings to worry about lol) and I know mine fell down the sink drain a time or two.
I'm sure she's upset as well, but the ring is in the house somewhere so you will find it. Hopefully sooner rather than later tho.

 

[skiingfast]

I agree with what Pwings was saying, if she takes it off to do dishes or putting on makeup or washing hands, try checking the traps in the sink. The U thing that is underneath it. It's dirty but if it is in one, better to find it there that have it get washed down.
