AM I the only one who thinks this is weird?

http://news.yahoo.com/ring-broken-engagement-gets-another-chance-shine-050012216.htmlNow I'm off for reusing stones and such, but I think this is a little too much.

penguin44 · August 2014

That's... odd.

hellosweetie1015 · August 2014

Nope. Nopenopenope. Not suspicious, but NOT using a ring purchased for another relationship. Not knowingly. Nopenopenope.

JennyColada · August 2014

I might find this less odd if I could relate to the "dream ring" kinda thing. I never had a dream wedding anything, so anything in regards to that just seems strange to me.

lyndausvi · August 2014

I should have mentioned Letter #3 is weird too.

Senecaf · August 2014

Yeah, I can't imagine the new guy going for that. If it doesn't bother him though I suppose it would be fine.

1. Super weird.

2. Awww...good luck. I like her advice that he wouldn't be the first man to change his ways. FI's family claims I had that effect on him. Little do they know it was more the other way around!

3. Whaaat??

I'm' so happy I can use this twice in a day!!!

I know right?

Now had she kept the ring and wanted to reset the stone I wouldn't think it was too odd. Not my cup of tea, but why waste a good stone. The fact that she wants to buy it off of him is just weird to me. Not even sure why.

Yeah if she had the ring the whole time, it wouldn't be nearly as weird. Like you said, not for me, but I could understand it.

And how does that conversation go when you want to put an offer on that? I think the idea of approaching him and imagining his response is maybe what weirds me out even more than just reusing the ring.

I'm not even one for sentimental attachment to objects, but I have definitely grown emotionally attached to my ring, or I guess what I'm attached to what I know it represents. This is why I won't "upgrade" one day, and if something were to happen between us, there is no way I would ever use it again. I'd sell it and take a vacation!!

edit: because I can't type

levioosa · August 2014

Ew. No thanks. I don't care if it's my "dream ring." I don't want my ex in any way part of my marriage. It's pretty obvious that she doesn't really attach any sentimental value to it in that regard, but I don't think I personally could get past it. There's also no way in hell I would be calling him up to ask that question.

Also, that's kind of a slap in the face to new FI. She can't trust him to get her something gorgeous too? Not only might it be something she never even knew she liked, but it will also be completely and totally theirs.

Totally unrelated, but your sig always makes me want to watch Easy A again.

jdluvr06 · August 2014

I'm more disturbed about letter 3. Who complains about someone bringing the mail in?

lyndausvi · August 2014

One way to solve the mail problem would be.... IDK, call me crazy but lets say..... MOVING TO YOUR OWN DAMN PLACE? Or maybe getting a P.O. Box?

Cookie Pusher · August 2014

Am I the only one really confused about him keeping the ring in his glovebox? What would he do if his car got stolen?!

and you should!! Easy A is fantastical. My FI and I always joke about what our identifiers are, it's a different one each week

This is how I feel. I find the sentiment of the gift more important than the looks of it, so I kind of hate the idea of reusing a ring from an old relationship.

climbingsingle · August 2014

That is super weird.

And who gets upset about their mail being brought in for them? Buh?

Inkdancer · August 2014

Uh, yeah, no.

I'm iffy about buying used rings as is, because I don't want somebody else's bad woowoo following me. But calling up an ex to get a ring that was attached to your own failed relationship? SO MUCH NO.

Yep, I agree. You nailed it. Ick. Ick. Ick.

Yeah, I'm with you ladies. Nooooope.
