moh Sadness

I love my MOH to death. She is my soul sister, my best friend, my partner in crime. I’ve been having issues with my engagement ring. It’s constantly getting scratched and bended/warped. My FH and I decided to redo the setting since the one I originally picked is so delicate. I selected a channel set setting, since that was the most protective. My MOH is mad at me because her ring is also channel set. She thinks I’m copying her unintentionally because I also want a thick diamond wedding band (which is very much in style). She has a round 1.76 carat, and I have a cushion square cut at 1 carat. I’m so upset and I can’t get over this. I don’t want there to be any bad vibes around my engagement ring or wedding band. And me and FH really fell in love with the new setting that I designed with the jeweler by sketching it out. What do I do?

    That’s absolutely ridiculous. I wouldn’t think about it for another second. She’ll get over it.

    Don't worry about her. It's your ring. It's not like it's something out of the box either. Channel set is common. If she's really a friend she won't care if yours is kind of similar.

    Get the ring you want. A channel setting has been around forever, and it is not something she owns the right to. If she is that upset, it's her problem.

    MOH is overreacting, for sure! Ignore her and keep the design you and FH want!

    Honestly it sounds like she is overreacting. Don't change what you want because of someone else.

    MOH needs to grow up . Your ring has nothing to do with her. Same, different does not matter. There is no prize for having a ring different from other people you know . An engagement gift from your FI to you is none of her business, now or at any time in the future . Our town has 2 screening days for school in August. They met their homeroom teacher in upper grades, their only teacher in lower ones. My 4.5 year old neighbor is having fits because her assigned seat for tabletop/ desk activities is further from the teacher than my son and daughter, 3rd row to their second. She thinks they will take all teacher's attention, before the back row gets any. With 4 year olds, you kind of expect upsets over trivia. Your MOH is too old by many years. So childish. After Christmas, does she go around telling people who got presents like hers that they have to be given back, and the giver told to pick something different?

    MOH is being a petty drama queen. Get the ring you want and like and she can deal with it.

    She needs to get over herself, and fast! You already have enough to deal with.

    Your MOH is being ridiculous! I don't understand why she wouldn't want you to have a ring that you love. I would maybe tell her that your old setting was getting damaged and not only will the new one be sturdier, but you also love the style. And at the end of the day, if her ring style inspired you, then she should be happy that you admire hers!

    Have you explained to her why you are changing the band? because the band won't last long if you don't change it etc.... I would expect her to be understanding if she knows your reasoning.


    If she is going to be petty about something so small, is she really a good friend?
