     Ring is Not my Taste  

I have just got engaged to my boyfriend of 2 years, and I am overjoyed. He brought out a ring right after he popped the question and was so excited about his choice. He told me that it had taken him a long time to find the perfect ring.

The engagement ring his chose is a very large square cut diamond from Tiffany, on a platinum band. It is very expensive and it is a beautiful ring. The thing is, it is not really ‘me’ at all. I have tiny, slender fingers and the large diamond reaches practically to my knuckle. It looks far too big for my hand. I would have preferred something smaller and more delicate. And to be honest, I am a little nervous about wearing something so obviously expensive.

What should I do? Should I tell him that the ring is not my taste? Or should I accept that he spent a lot of time and money finding it, and get used to wearing it? Please help!

Dear Clarissa,

This is difficult. We should always accept a gift in the nature in which it was given. However, this is something that you will have forever. Plus, there is a message attached to the ring. So, it would be best to talk to him about your fears about wearing something so big and expensive. Perhaps you two could shop together for a ring.

Good luck with this!
