Guys... should I tell him or not?

Question

So... my wonderful boyfriend proposed to me - and I most definitely said yes! The thing is - I don't really like my engagement ring.

I didn't tell him - I was just glad to be engaged and figured I would just grow to love the ring - but it's 2 months later and I still don't!

Guys I want your perspective cause I really don't want him to be hurt or to think I don't appreciate all the effort he went to in picking it - should I tell him I don't like it or not?!?

Should prob mention -

We'd both always wanted him to pick the ring for me - so I just asked him to follow 1 rule - "no white gold please"... it's white gold! (he said he forgot! hehe) Plus he gave it to me after the warranty ran out! Oh dear - what to do!?!?

Additional Details

Oh - and I do love him and am greatful to be marrying him - that's why I don't want to hurt him!
How much I like my engagement ring has nothing to do with how much I love my fiance. I just don't know if I should pretend to like this forever when I really don't!

i would say dont tell him... you will hurt his feelings and there is no point for that since the warranty ran out anyways.. you will grow to love it.. see the ring as what it really represents and not what it really is. its just an object but it represents his love and commitment to you. it doesnt matter if its made from white gold, gold or tree leafs.. he loves you and you love him and you want to spend the rest of your lives together.. thats all that matters

Answer 4

wow

Answer 5

DO NOT TELL HIM!!!!!

Answer 6

Sweetie, be thankful he asked. Two be grateful he had a ring ready. And three it's not your wedding ring. It's only a temporary ring. He gave it to you from the bottom of his heart. It's like the hideous drawings kids make and take to their parents demanding that they display them for everyone else to see, of course the parent hates the picture but does it because it was an act of kindness. The world needs more selfless acts. JUST BE HAPPY.

Answer 7

You let him pick so that ring should be special because of the effort he put in - you are never going to get the exact ring you want if you let someone else choose. The ring isn't the important thing in marriage, the relationship is, so focus on that.

Answer 8

If you love him (which I am going to bet you do) then it doesn't matter about the ring. some day you will look back on it and laugh and by then you will love it. He cares about you and that should be enough. If it really bothers you talk about it with him and see it from his view. I do not let my mom fix her mistakes around me because sometime the mistakes make my life so much happier.

Answer 9

You should be glad the man bought you ring if you told me I don't like the ring I bought you I would of took the ring and ran he deserved somebody better than you ungrateful girl.
