My husband and I (20 years old) were very much in love when we got married and I told him that the ring wasnt the most important thing. He didnt have the money for a nice wedding ring so I ended up with a plain white gold band from Walmart to match his. It was lost at the beach 5 months ago.
For our first year anniversiry coming up on the 31 of October I told him I want a Nice Ring.. I am going to give him 200 dollars from our savings and hes going to go with my father to pawn shops and look for something pretty. But am I being selfish to ask for a new ring? I just feel like Im unmarried without one, but I lost it..Should I just get the same one from Walmart to stay true to what I said in the beginning?

Its not that I was careless when I lost it.. ACCIDENT okay? And I am having a child soon, I am tired of men hitting on me assuming I am single, or people thinking Im an unwed mother... I ask him because I need the security. He thinks its funny when it happens but I feel hurt. I just want him to pick it out for me.. Im practically buying it for myself.

I think you should have whatever you want and can afford.
I thought I had lost my wedding ring a while ago, I cant wear it cuz of swollen fingers ... and my hubby just said, well, we will have to get you a new one, and a nice one this time. Mine is/was also a cheapie from walmart ... and important to me as it is .... but i understand the need and desire for one, and why shouldnt you have a nice one if you can afford one now?

Go back to Walmart and buy a ring similar to the one you lost. That way you won't feel unmarried. It's just a ring, honey. Seems like your husband really loves you, because he's willing to take some time out to get you one. If I were in your shoes, I'd just save the money or buy something that my husband and I would really need.
Better yet, why don't YOU give him a gift for being rather sweet. :)

To me a ring is more then just a piece of metal it symbolizes something very special. So i agree dat it is not selfish of u 2 ask 4 a ring but u shud b true 2 ur word n buy a ring, It doesn't matter if its cheap as long as u hav dat symbol so dat u can b proud 2 let everyone know dat u r married 2 da man u love.

Does ring really so important to you? If it does, why are you so careless of losing while you are so care about the symbol love of ring?
If your hubby feels want to replace the wedding ring, he will do it on his own accord and not hinting him back or whatever. The most importantly, he is true to you and will be with you no matter what happen, irregard of health or sick & poor or rich.

No. But it's wrong to have that ring become more important than the memory of why you guys got married. What I mean is dont think about soo much. Just get it. If the problem is that he doesnt want to get it, then I dont know. Enjoy your new ring!
P.S. I bought my wife what I could afford, its modest. Someday I would get her another/better one, but she say s she is happy with it and loves it.

I think if you're handing him $200, you can ask for a $200 ring. It's not like you're telling him to get a second job or win the lottery. You've made it so easy for him. If I were him, I'd be thrilled.

If you want a new one then get a new one. Just tell your husband that it will distress you to much to know that you have replaced it with a look a like and would prefer to have something completely different signalling a different stage of your lives together.
