a big ass diamond ring... set in platinum, and insured for about twice as much as your car is worth.

Now, let's say you couldn't find that ring anywhere. Like maybe you'd taken it off while you were scrubbing out the refrigerator, and now it's nowhere to be found.

Would you tell your husband you lost it, or just file the insurance claim and hope you could replace it before he noticed you weren't wearing it?
 
Tell the hubby, and if he gets mad, point out that, hey, ya know, he could clean the damn frig once in a while himself.
 
My wife has a pretty similar ring. I think I'd feel quite stunned if she lost it, but she'd feel worse about it then I would.

We'd end up trying to find it together.

As a "husband" I'd expect honesty from my wife. The ring-- no matter how large or perfect the diamond is/was is just a ring. A symbol of marriage, of love, but just a symbol. It would hurt me more to not know the truth, than to replace the ring.
 
CarolineOh...what happened to your previous avatar? It was beautiful, beautiful, BEAUTIFUL!!!
 
suck it and tell him.

Then you can blubber and search for it through your tears, and when you're on your hands and knees hubby will get other ideas and you'll have naughty sex on the kitchen floor and right after you cum, in a blaze of clarity you'll remember where you left it.
 
Tell the truth and then file a claim with your insurance company. Material things can always be replaced,trust cannot.:)
 
Were I the husband in question, there's no way I could be angry. You took it off to clean the fridge and mislaid it. That stuff happens. It was insured, so it's no biggie to get the value back and get a ring just like it. No real harm done, I say.

Thanks. I change avs a lot, depending on my mood. I'll bring that one back soon, it's a favorite.:)
 
The ring is not what makes or breaks a relationship. She should say I don't know where I left it and both go hunting around the house for it. If not found. So what, you can get another one.

ROFLMAO

I think this is probably the best piece of advice I've ever read anywhere on any subject.

:D

Me too. Unfortunately, it'd never happen.

I'll tell him if I don't find it today. He'll be unreasonably pissed off. I'll hear how irresponsible I am. I won't get my new truck. I just love being grounded. :rolleyes:

Ah well, the insurance money will be nice if I don't find it.
 
Wow.

I lost my engagement ring a long time ago. It wasn't boucoup expensive or anything, but it was still my engagement ring and I managed to completely lose it.

I wasn't actually broken hearted either. I loathed the thing. I hate rings where you've got stuff that sticks up because they snag on things and about rip your finger off. My engagement ring added a few new scars to my body. The only upside is that you can use the diamond as an effective weapon in a fight, providing the setting is a good one.

Tell him or you'll regret not doing it. I told the StudMuffin and he rampaged for two weeks. It wasn't pretty, but it needed to be done anyway.
 
Tell him it would probably be best in the end. Of course this is coming from a person that tends not to be like the average male.
 
I'd be more concerned about the consequences of him finding out on his own ,being insulted that you think he's too stupid to catch on,- and the untrustworthy thing treatment rather than the irresponsible thing.

To look at it from another perspective, don't you want to show the girls by example that the right thing to do is come clean & deal with it?
 
use part of the insurance check to buy him some power tools? a man never has to many sanders :D

oh, but more important, I hope ya find the ring

You would have to bring up the good mommy angle. ;)

He's a carpenter. I've got a 3 car garage full of tools, most of his pick up bed is full of tools... the man owns 4 table saws. I won't be buying any power tools ever. Which, now that I think about it, makes Father's Day a pain in the ass.

It did sound a little like a childish conspiracy to avoid responsibillity. To me , denial is the irresponsible option, not confession.

I feel for you.:(

Lots of women lose rings. It happens. Kinda like hitting your thumb with a hammer ,I think the right word for it is careless.

WAIT! I found it. It's on your avatar's ass.

:eek: Why didn't I think of looking there?

That's why I ache for you... the powers of observation.
