Run for the hills.

she'll get fat hands once she is married anyway

Just take it in to get "resized" then get them to exchange it for the other one while she's not looking.

I regret the decision of telling her what I've planned for the "ring problem".

Could have been deceitful.

I am obviously playing this H2B / Fiancée game all wrong.

This is the most interesting part here, how did you do this? And did you plan on the what if scenario of her waking up?

I did that using a ring measuring band, but in my haste of doing it without waking her up, I didn't dare tighten it more at the risk of not being able to remove it.

And if she does wake up, conk her out with a blackjack and then claim she dreamt it all... She can't see behind her head, so that's ok

So I proposed over the weekend, she said yes. YAY!

Turns out the ring is 2 size too large. (Measuring finger in the middle of the night is tricky)

I've managed to make arrangement for the jewellers to replace it with a ring of the right size, rather than resize as they've got one in stock. All done within 2 days without any cost on my part, as opposed to paying £10-£50 to get it resized - with the risk of compromising the integrity of the ring.

What does the missus-to-be say? No, it's not the same ring I proposed with and flat out refused that option I've arranged.

WUT?!

you have asked this person to marry you but you still think you can apply logic to their decision making?
you should rescind the offer until you can accept that no logic applies - just wait until you get onto planning a wedding!

'Don't mind me love, just checking if you have finger cancer. Go back to sleep.'

Arazi · 28 Sep 2015 at 17:09

Why are you checking her ring with a finger when shes asleep, that's rape!

I thought this was going to be a thread about intercourse.

Well it kind of is. Once married and his g/f has finally got what she needs his sex life will quickly fade away.

Lmao, for some reason I read that in a Randy Marsh voice.

"Don't mind me, just gonna get a little cancer, Stan."

Jim99 · 28 Sep 2015 at 17:43

I thought most places offered free resizing?

Anyway, I can understand her thinking. And given what you've probably spent on the ring and will spend on the wedding and future life it's probably worth forking out a few bob to keep her happy

Just tell her its been resized

This - start your marriage as it will end....

helpimcrap · 28 Sep 2015 at 17:50

But yes I do agree with her from a sentiment point of view - it's not the same one and just by coming from you made that special.

In essence YOU made the mistake by not doing your research and getting her ring size.

She is making you correct YOUR mistake.

Have a happy marriage! *Whipped noise!*

Seriously - best of luck.

Wizzfizz · 28 Sep 2015 at 17:52

Just propose again with the new ring

No I think shes just crackers.

HardwareGeek · 28 Sep 2015 at 17:57

Never forget this incident and when shes had a kid tell her its not the same ring you proposed to

Rofflay · 28 Sep 2015 at 17:58

Remember folks , Repeat and drill it into them.

If you like it put a ring on it
Diamonds are a girls best friend

All a modern invention so you spend your hard earned cash on a insignificant lump of turd that some poor African bloke is forced to mine out of the ground. To be honest do you think the diamonds and gold scam goes right over your womans head? Does it go over ALL of thier heads? I think so frankly you marry for love not a ring. I would be honestly tempted to take it back and cancel the whole thing in a fit of rage until she comes around.

Seems I bagged a sensible one.

I proposed, got the size wrong (by one size). We went into the jewelers, they measured her finger and she left the store whilst I showed the receipt and they got the same one in her size.
