Unhappy Totally devastated chick here :(

Ok guys, I'm totally upset, depressed, sad, miserable, etc, etc...

I realized tonight when I was out at dinner with my BF that I didn't have on my ring. He bought me this gorgeous white gold/diamond ring for Christmas, and literally, I have had it on EVERY DAY since Xmas...I take it off RARELY if I am putting on lotion (most of the time I keep it on though). I am so used to having it on that I guess I didn't notice it wasn't on? Does that make sense?!

So I told him that I didn't know why I wasn't wearing it. I don't remember taking it off. I got so upset that I left his house to come home and find it. I told myself I would feel a LOT better just knowing where it was - I figured it was on my dresser, that I took it off when I got out of the shower when I put lotion on..........

WELL, it's not on my dressesr. It's not on the floor. It's not in my bathroom, by my computer, on the floor of my car, in my laundry basket, in my downstairs bathroom, by my downstairs computer, in my basement...NO WHERE! I was just hysterically crying to my BF on the phone, who is telling me it's not a big deal, not to get myself worked up, it will just show up when I least expect it to.

Well, I can't relax.
I'm heart-broken. I've never actually LOST anything before. Not even my keys!!! I am so anal about knowing where everything is. I still have EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF JEWERLY every X has ever given to me. (I don't wear any of it, but I do have it all in my jewerly box). The one piece of jewerly that meant the world to me, I lost. My BF has also given me 2 necklaces - one last Valentine's Day that I wore every single day until this Valentine's Day that just passed - now I wear the new diamond initial "K" necklace he got me instead...He's not BIG into the whole jewerly thing, so when I get it, I'm obsessed with it, you know?

So yea, that's my deal. I'm sorry, I had to vent. I'm just sooooo sad right now AND, I feel like I'm gunna throw up

WOW, you really like him which is kool. Lucky guy IMO. You will find your ring soon, hopefully, take a piece of string and tie it on your finger, you'll feel better.

Good luck with the ring, and feel better

Sorry to hear that. I'm sure it'll turn up. You'll probably end up finding it somewhere silly, like the freezer.

Guys it wasn't an engagement ring, it was a simple little ring he got me for Christmas...it had more sentimental value than anything - it's only worth a few hundred. I would NEVER, EVER lost my engagement ring (I hope!!)

I just cleaned my entire room, put EVERYTHING away, and no luck thus far.

I was on the phone w/ my BF hysterically though, and he told me not to worry, that he wasn't mad and I will find it. I'm not really worried about him being mad at me, it's more of the fact that this ring was really important to me, and I lost it

Its alright, if you dont find it he will buy you a new one, does it matter what the stupid stone in there means? Or does it matter if he buys you a new one from his heart? I mean forget the old one, tell him to get you a new one. Anyways, its not like it was your fault, and its not like he got mad at you. Calm Down hun

Just give him a big Hug tommorow and I am sure you will forget all about the ring soon Also did you look in the glove compartment of your car, I find lots of stuff there

I feel what you're going through, Kate... I'm very sentimental myself... I'm the kind person that keep movie/plays ticket stubs, dinner receipts (etc. etc...) for memories... so, I know how it must be like if I lost something that was given to me by my loved one. It'll surface somewhere... (we're all keepin' our fingers cross).

...good luck, and let us know what happens, okay?

Look on the soap dish or soap holder. I have left rings there. I even put my ring on top of the top for blank CD-R's. You know how the plastic always has a little nub on the top? Well I put my ring around that and it blended in so well I couldn't find it for a couple weeks. Like I told you earlier Katie, just relax and it will turn up eventually.

I totally feel for you, here.

I lost my wedding band at a crawfish boil (I cannot believe I attended one of these. M u s t remember, I am originally from NYC. R e d n e c k presence strong) Read that sentence as a super hero would.

Anyway, I ended up finding it mushed into the grass in the backyard, but it was not until I was elbow deep in every shell filled trashcan trying to find it.

Good luck.

I hope you find it. I know how bad my wife felt when she lost an ear ring I had given her (it had nothing to do with the money, it was the sentimental value). I was not upset with her. I knew she was never careless and didn't do it intentionally. Try not to let it bother you to the point of being physically ill. Although it means a lot to you, it is not worth your health.

Good Luck.

I agree, its the sentimental value that matters, so tell him to buy you a new one, it will have more sentimental value than a old one..

Well, you said you take it off when you put on lotion or wash your face, etc...

My girlfriend constantly takes off her rings and sets them on the sink while putting on lotion....anyways, one night one disappeared and she went ballistic. I just took the drain trap apart underneath the sink and there it was...just sitting in the bottom of the drain trap. Try to see if it's there....it's worth a shot.

Hope you find it and I'm sure your boyfriend does too!!!

Do you keep your grocery bags, to use as trash bags? A few years ago, it had snowed and I shoveled my car out, then went to buy groceries. Awhile later, I realized I had lost my class ring! I searched everywhere, indoors & out, convinced I had lost it while shoveling - I even reported it to the apartment complex manager, in case it turned up once the snow melted. I gave up on it, but about a week later, I had just taken out the trash and I was getting out a new trash bag (I save my plastic grocery bags to line my trash cans with), and I felt something small & heavy in the bag... guess what it was?? My ring, which had apparently slipped off my finger and fallen into one of the bags while I was unloading my groceries that day! Good thing I save my bags!

The point is, (1) check your grocery bags, and (2) even if it's not there, just try to forget about it, as hard as that may seem, and it will turn up when you least expect it!

don't get too frustrated over it

like you said... its something of a sentimental value... the value of the ring is the bond between your bf and you, which will be there even if your ring isn't.

there must be hundreds of different things that shares equal value... places where you two spent the most time together, your friends, your cuddles, clothings and etc.

there are guys who would be all over the girl if she lost the ring, you should be happy that he is not one of them.

cheers

You havent' checked your pockets yet have you? If not there, seek the infamous purse. If that doesn't work, the freezer isn't a bad option...lets just say if you don't ask I won't tell(why I said the last one that is)

geez get over it its a piece of jewlery, very materialistic. i remember my girl lost one of her earings and got all upset, i laughed and said for all u know it was a cheap hundred dollar pair, she got pissy about the sentimental value bs and how she knew they were worth more. well she found them, a few mounths later on our 6 year annivrsary i bought her another pair of earings, just incase. now does anyone think i have seen those old earings on her in the past year and a half. NOPE! sentimental value my ass. once something better can replace it the old jewlery might as well be given to the bf so he can trade it in towards the next gift cause u will never ever see it again

Just because your girl was or is materialistic doesn't mean everyone is. She is genuinely upset, and doesn't care about the value. It is what it stands for that matters to her. Sentimental value is real. People really do hang on to stuff for just because of what it reminds them of or how it makes them feel.

Sentimental value is in the heart. That you can never lose. I say it is a material thing, and you will lose more material things in the future. It's not what people give you or what you hold onto, it's what people do together that should be cherished and remembered.
