I already know how this sounds but bear with me...
FI was going to sell his wedding band from his first marriage. He said it was inexpensive, held no sentimental value to him as she didn't pick it out, and as we are jewish, it doesn't have any stones in it, its just a band. It won't get much money, probably at the most $50. I suggested reusing it when we get married and asked him how he feels about that. He said he didn't feel one way or another about it. He said she didn't pick it out or pay for it, he did. I said if he is only going to re-spend the money, and if he likes the band, and he doesn't see it as "bad luck" reuse it. I also pointed out that my dad reused his wedding band. Granted, it was my grandfather's band so it had sentimental value to my dad.
Do you see anything wrong with this? I really don't as we don't have money to throw out and I don't see the point in spending money we don't have. He likes his band, his first wife didn't pick it out or pay for it, so I don't mind and he doesn't really seem to mind one way or the other. He said he would sell it and get another one if I want him to. He told me its my choice so I know he will if I ask. I definitely need a new ring as mine was bought by my first husband and was soddered to my engagement ring, lol!
Opinions?
