I've never had a real wedding band so my husband decided that a new one would make a good Christmas gift - I agreed! Instead of just a plain gold band like I requested, he gave me a more ornate one. It looked great in the box, but when I put it on my finger, I knew immediately that he had mistakenly purchased a man's wedding band. It's thick and bulky and heavy and looks awful on my hand. I checked the jewelry store's website and sure enough, it's a man's ring. Hubby said he was told by the sales clerk it was a "unisex" ring. He was duped -- to the tune of $300. He wants me to keep the ring (he's a very proud man) because I don't think he wants to admit he made a big mistake. If he wants to pay the $300 which will enable him to keep his pride, that's fine. But what about me? Am I now supposed to wear this very masculine ring forever and pretend I like it? Should I return the ring? I don't want to hurt my husband! What should I do? THANKS!!

Take him to the store with you and return the ring. Try on a few rings so that he will be able to see how nice the others look on your finger. He'll realize his mistake without having to hurt his pride.

Well, do keep the ring (in a way). Tell Hubby, you can't wear it, you want a ring you can wear. Take it back with him in tow and exchange it for one you will be proud to wear. He should understand that.

tell him that the ring is too masculine for you. ask him to come with you to pick a new out. be very sweet and kind - when you get there value his opinion and if you can let him pick the new out. ( make sure your in the women's section)

well first off this is a hard decision ,but tell him honey i love the ring but it is just too bulky for me and would you please let me pick another one as this one like i said is too bulky for me . You know let him know that you appreciate his thought behind it and dont try to upset him . good luck to you and god bless.
