Sooo I'm not a huge fan of my ring

I would be honest. I am in the same boat, but I am wearing mine for a while.

I wanted something bolder and more exciting than a typical solitaire with side diamonds. I'll probably get something around our second anniversary.

Tell him the truth...

But your engagement isn't about the ring...it's about a declaration of love...the ring is gorgeous just let it slide...bring up another choice of rings in a couple of years...

I personally wouldn't say anything to your FH. you should just be thankful that he cared enough to try to please you with a ring. he bought a fairly cheap ring, but i love it. in 10 years, we plan to renew our vows and i will get a new ring then. perhaps thats an option for you. i've never heard of any girl not loving their engagement ring. makes me sad for you.

Personally, I wouldn't say anything. It's just a ring. There's so much more to a marriage/wedding/relationship than a ring. You can always upgrade/change it later down the road.

Thank you everyone for your input!

Ive Thoight long and hard about it, and I think I will learn to love it. He is the man of my dreams and there's no way I can hurt his feelings that way.

I asked him why he chose this ring and he said "it's the ring I always imagined Id buy for the one I love. Plus it's beautiful like you." after a response like that, there's no way I could imagine any other ring!!

I actually had a similar situation with my FH. We went to the jewelry store and designed it together. We picked out the band and my FH picked out the shape of the diamond. I kinda liked it, but didn't think too much about it, because I hadn't seen it altogether. When he proposed, I kept looking at the ring because I kept thinking I hated it, just small things that I wasn't sure I liked. I talked with my FH about the parts I didn't like and he just reminded me how different it is from every other ring out there (which is very important to me) and he just pointed out all of the positive aspects of the design and needless to say I adore my ring and constantly get compliments about it.

Try having a conversation about it instead of saying you don't like it, what don't you like about it? Good luck!

Aw Sophia that is so sweet! Think of that response every time you look at it and you won't be able to help but to learn to love it :-)
