On the 9th I lost my wedding ring at the store not sure inside or out. I've posted flyers in the parking lot and left my number in the store in case anyone turns it in. I have walked around my path from my parking space into the store so many times and visited pawn shops, pretty much every thing I could do. My husband is so sweet he didn't get upset he said "don't worry about it, your still my wife ring or not" but I felt so guilty and still do! It is my fault It fell off my finger. I put extra lotion on that morning because my finger was irritated from a cleaner I used, my wedding ring was rubbing on that irritated spot so I took my rings off and flipped them around so my engagment ring was on the inside of my finger and wedding band on the out, I didn't hear it fall off or even feel it. I am so mad at myself about that. As the days pass I am becoming more doutful that I will get it back. It's not an expensive ring we didn't have a lot of money when he decided to ask me to marry him but it is a beautiful ring one would think it is worth more probably. We celebrated our anniversary on valentine's day, I got a beautiful gift of a calla lilly ring (that is our wedding flower) It no way replaces my wedding band and wasn't intended to do so. My husband said we can replace my wedding band if it don't show up my response was "its not the same" and truly it isn't. We have looked at a few bands but they don't sell the ring I had anymore and I don't like the ones we have seen they just don't hold the meaning to me mine had. I kind of feel silly feeling this way, I mean i'm not a selfish person that is hard to please but getting just a wedding band even one that is bigger or is more expensive isn't going to mean what mine did. It went along with his promise and I can't in no way replace that ever, to get a ring it would be like a gift I would love it and it would have meaning but not like I feel it should I mean maybe it will eventully maybe I'm just not there yet, I'm still hopeful about my ring but I have to be honest I probably will never see it again unless a really good person with a huge heart finds it.. Thanks for just listening..

I felt that way during my pregnancy and I swelled at the end so I couldn't wear my wedding ring. I had a cheep adjustable ring on as a replacement, but it felt awful.

Tanya,

I have done this before. I have a habit of when washing my hands I take off my rings. One time we were at the movie theatre and I did this. Well I left them by the sink. We went to leave and I said "oh I lost my rings." My husband right along with yours was sweet and said that does not matter we are still married. However, a lady that saw me leave them in the restroom found me and gave them to me. That is one good-hearted woman to do that. Not many people would return this, but I could tell she had a heart of gold.

I feel your pain. I too misplaced my wedding ring around my 10th anniversary-not expensive but custom made and chosen by my husband with no one else's input. I moped for weeks til he bought me a new, expensive one. Shortly after, I found my original and have been a lot more careful since then. This month we celebrate our 17th anniversay! Remember it's just a ring.....at least you still have the love.

I know the feelings that go with that ring but remember those feelings came from your heart as well as your husbands. Nothing can replace those. Take comfort in how supportive & loving your husband is. Wishing you the best....Nikki :-)

Also, it was really expensive. Which shouldnt matter, but he hates that he cant afford to buy me the same thing now. And I did that. I feel awful. Lol, I guess thanks for listening to me too!

I know just how you feel. Mine as stolen. 2 years ago, and I'm just now getting over it. He used money his father left him after passing away to buy it. I feel like a horrible, thoughtless, selfish person. I've looked at rings, and you're right, its not the same. I just want mine. I'm so sorry. I hope you find it. Keep talking about it, it helps. Some.
