See my question from yesterday re: my refusal to wear a wedding ring and her refusal to accede to my request.
Summary: I hate wearing jewelry of any sort. Not even a watch. She knows this. She still insists that I wear a ring.
We have always agreed not to force the other to do something that either is very uncomfortable with. This is my first refusal; I'm easy.
She has refused one request I've made repeatedly. Finally, I just decided to respect her views. BTW, my request is not illegal, dangerous, or unethical. She just has very strong feelings against it. So, I decided to respect that.
I suggested a compromise: I will wear the wedding ring on certain occassions if she agrees to my wishes on certain occasions. Seemed fair.
She says no, wear it everyday; her request is required. Mine is optional; I just want it, she says.
We're not breaking up, but I'm worried that our principle of mutual respect will only work for her.
