Engagement/wedding Ring...what to do with it?

thats the flipside.

So then do you start over with all new stuff? BED? house, etc?

I think I just don't need an engagement ring (IF I got engaged again)...maybe try to trade in for another piece of jewelry?

I think if the guy was practical like I am we could look past where it came from. My wedding band was channel set with diamonds too, so that could be taken and made into something else also. A whole new ring/set.

I don't know why I'm talking about this...bored I guess. oh...b/c I don't know if I should resent my diamond into a new piece now or not. Right.

If I got married again, I would start over with a new bed - OUR bed. New linens (except for the ones I bought in the last 2 single/living alone years). New china, wine glasses (I would keep my existing stuff but get an OUR set). New naughty unmentionables.

Anything of an intimate nature that I shared with someone in the past I would not want to be part of a new marriage. Heck, I even buy new unmentionables with a new BF. As for the ring, get it reset into something spiffy but don't use for a "with this ring I thee wed" ring.

It's a mojo thing with me.  But enough about me... what about you, Haley - getting married soon?

New undies. Got it.  Set into a new spiffy piece-got it! Well, I like my bed. Can I keep it as a guest bed or is that bad mojo to have it in the house? (I'm totally serious, I haven't thought of this kind of stuff)

LMAO!!! Thank goodness Welshy hasn't seen this...

It was just something I thought about from the 'moral compass' thread.

ROTFLMAO...omg...this is going to look so bad to him!

Renee, maybe I should be posting... "I want something bigger and better the second time around!!" ...but I'm not that type of person, so I couldn't do it.

Thanks Brett...I know some guys would feel that way over practicality. I would have to listen to my guys' feelings on it. I don't know how I'd feel about him wearing something from another girl.

So, bigger and better right?

Ok good. I think buying 2 or more beds is excessive for the sake of feelings.

Thomas, you have no time to be goofing off on BT. Haley wants a big, new rock. Go make money!!

Well, I don't think I'd settle for anything less than what I have now (1.55 carat). I like it, simple, clean.

Now...I WOULD NOT accept something smaller than his ex's size.

ROTFLMAO!

When my ex and I seperated, I asked for the engagement ring back. She actually laughed - hard. I dropped it for about 4 months and askled again. She rolled her eyes. I persisted. She stopped and looked at me "are you serious?"

"What do you want it for? Sentimental reasons? GIVE ME BACK MY RING!!!!!" 

"Not a chance"  

"Why, cuz you EARNED it? I HAVE THE ANSWER!!! AN ENGAGEMENT RING IS NOTHING MORE THAN A FRICKEN INSURANCE POLICY. WHAT DOES A MAN GET? NADA!!! YOU GOT THE HOUSE, NOW GIMME BACK MY RING!!!"

"forget it. Get out."

Bitch still has all 2.25 Carats.

I refuse to be drawn into this slippery slope...

Well, my ex kept the house (I couldn't afford it anyway without some serious help) so the least he could do was let me keep the ring.

He said the same thing welshy "What do you want it for? sentimental reasons?" I said no, I like jewelry, I'll make something new. He's still pissed too, but he has the house.

1. Not bitter. LOL!

2. your new wifes gonna be really lucky!
