Time for a new ring? Ladies I need advice.?

Question

Im wanting a new wedding ring, actually I want an anniversary ring in place of my wedding band (had for 7 years). We've been together almost 10 yrs but married for 7 1/2 yrs. Do you think I should wait for 10 year wedding anniversary to ask for an anniversary ring or go ahead and ask? Also should I let him pick something out or give him some examples, ideas? He has bought me a ring and necklace before and did a good job of picking somethging out.

Answer 1

Greed & materialism at its finest.  I imagine that some other woman was busy showing off her new ring (engagement, anniversary etc.) and it got the 'ol juices flowing.  I guess if you can afford it, with-out going into debt (because putting it on a credit card is stupid..though that describes most Americans) than go ahead and drop the hint.  

Answer 2

sweetie is ok if you have a 7 1/2 years old ring! it doesn't matter how many years  your ring have! what is most important is the love that your husband put into that ring! the best thing about the ring is that it symbolize the love and the care that he will always give you. take care!

Answer 3

If you want one now and know that your husband can afford it then go ahead and ask for one. Just make sure he does not go into debt getting you a new ring. It is not worth going into debt for. The 10 year rule does not have to followed if you are wanting one now. GOOD LUCK

Answer 4

Ask him now for it and let him pick it himself

Answer 5

Know what would be even better? If you just left it alone and waited for him to purchase you a ring on his own. Why the need to rush him? I don't understand that mindset. A ring given to me because I asked for it or told what sort/shape/stone/metal/whatever is rather meaningless compared to something given to me because he CHOSE to do it all on his own without my expectations whatsoever. If all you want is jewelery, certainly go ahead and drop a bunch of hints and examples. If what you want is something truly from him, wait and allow him the chance to be thoughtful.

I don't understand why women have to ADD to their collection if you will.

My wife wanted a NEW wedding ring as well. Shouldn't the original sign of love and commitment be enough?

I was young and busted my azz to save for my wife's ring. I bought her a 1ct princess cut  ring that I thought was beautiful. I took great pride in picking out the perfect ring for her. I looked at countless rings because I knew this was the one thing that would last forever.

The 10 years later it isn't good enough...What the h**l?????? I ended up buying her another ring that wrapped around her original that cost just as much.

I have the same wedding band I have had since the day I bought it..not her, I bought it. I have never complained!!!

Answer 7

Drop the hint to him and if he buys you one, it will be more special.

Answer 8

Why is there a need to upgrade?

As for personal preference, I would wait until ten. But, even then, I would add an anniversary band, not replace. That ring is a symbol of what happened with the two of you 7 1/2 years ago. Why isn't it good enough any more?

Answer 9

you should wait for the 10 year mark. its a bigger deal than 7 years

Answer 10

Flat out tell him you want the darn ring and you want it now....
