Today, I confessed to losing my wife's engagement ring, and replacing it with a lookalike months ago. My wife also confessed that her actual engagement ring was locked in the safe, and the one I lost had been a fake. I've been paying the replacement off on my credit card for 6 months. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I’ve been the proud owner of an engagement ring for about 7 hours, and I’ve just spent the last 4 of them desperately searching for the damn thing, as I’ve lost it already. I daren’t tell my partner, since he was so sure I’d lose it, he'd told me to put it in our safe, and I stubbornly refused. FML
Today, I saw a picture of my ex giving her new boyfriend an extremely familiar ring. Upon zooming in, I realized that it was the engagement ring I gave her that she claimed to have had stolen from her home. FML
Today, I was shopping for rings with my fiancée. We spent over two hours selecting the perfect ring and diamond to match. When filling out the paperwork I discovered I left my wallet at home. She had to pay the 20% down payment for the ring. FML
Today, I found out that my engagement ring was actually my husband's ex-fiancée's. FML
Today, I bought a fake "wedding ring" at Target to play a prank on my parents. They kicked me out, saying my "fiancé" can take care of me now. There is no fiancé, and I just lost my job. FML
Today, in preparation for proposing to my girlfriend, I borrowed one of her rings so I could discreetly get her ring size. Not only have I now lost the ring, which turns out to be a keepsake from her dead grandmother, I still don't know her ring size. FML
Today, my wife figured out I gave her a dollar store ring for our anniversary. FML
Today, I went to a jewellery store to sell my wedding ring, after a long and painful divorce. The shop owner took one look at it and called the cops because I tried to sell him a diamond ring that had been stolen from him 3 years ago. My ex-husband left the country a week ago. FML
Today, I went to sell my wedding rings, due to the fact that I'm getting divorced from a man who cheated on me. The jeweler informed me that the stone in my engagement ring is fake. I won't even be able to cover the divorce costs from the proceeds. FML
Today, I found out my fiancée has been sleeping with the salesman I bought her engagement ring from. He knew. FML

They say good communication is key in a marriage.

I should have fessed up. but, she was in her last trimester of her pregnancy so, yeah, I'll admit that I was scared. she also had preeclampsia and I didn't want to upset her. oh well. shoulda woulda coulda.

op you sound like a wonderful caring person to do that. sure you are noe paying for two rings but mistakes happen. is there any possible eay you could return it to the jewelers?

I'll talk to them when I get back into town. If not, we can exchange it for something more sensible like a necklace or a right hand ring. The jeweler has had my families business for 40+ years (starting with my grandfather) so hopefully he'll have some mercy on me.

That is punishment for not confessing.

Guess your wife knows you well enough to guard her valuables from you.

so there are 3 engagement rings in play now? 1 original, 2 fake/replacements?
RonnieG 10
there's the original, and the replacement. I lost the fake.

That really sucks! But hey, 2 questions: 1. Why so expensive ? It's a friggin RING!, nor the means to kill Sauron. And 2: Why didn't you just tell her ? And vice-versa ? I hope you both learned something today... :)

If the replacement ring looks just like the expensive ring why didn't you just buy that one in the first place?
RonnieG 10
I did. it was the one in the safe.

I meant instead of ever buying the more expensive one. I never got why women need something that costs more when it looks exactly like something cheaper
