I Lost The Ring He Gave Me...
So long story short, I lost the promise ring he gave me. I feel horrible. Like I don't deserve a guy like him and I should go jump into a gutter. I told him about it, and he said "It's fine." Although he's saying that so I don't feel that bad, I still feel awful. That ring cost him over $200. Yesterday, I saw him wearing the ring I gave him, and that made me feel even worse. I told him that it's not fine, and that I feel really bad about it. He then said to me, "Well, there is nothing we can do now and sulking won't do anything. Just because you lost the ring doesn't mean I'll love you any less." It's sweet. But I still feel really shitty.
Datingish readers, please help me out. I don't know what to do. I feel like I owe him so much....

Wow. There isn't really anything you can do at this point. Not that I can see.
buy a new one exactly like the one he gave, using ur own money.
after that, just get over it. he did say its fine....
What he said is right. Listen to him.
It's not like you lost the ring on purpose.
OMG i know how u feel. but u know what it will be alright. Like he said Its alright and there is nothing u can do about it now. all this worrying u are doing guess what? he is going to end up buying u another ring...take a deep breath and breath out hun. its alright....no one is perfect and everyone has lost something that is important. did u loose ur love for him along with that ring..NO...so suck it up =) :::smiiiiillllleeee:::
Hope that helped
He got it right, there really is nothing you can do unless you know where he got it and can afford another one. Then just tell him you found it. Which would be lying and I am sure you would feel bad about that. So that is a bad idea. lol Steal his ring and make him think he lost it too. No that is another bad one. Yeah I guess there really is nothing you can do. Next time he gives you a ring wear it on a necklace and it will be a lot harder to lose. No worries though he seems to be fine with it.
just a side note, where did your 14 year old boyfriend get 200 dollars?
Just listen to him. He's a keeper and he's exactly right: it's only a symbol; that's all.
If you still feel bad, perhaps either surprise him with something special or buy a similar ring on your own.
Don't let this incident drive a wedge between the two of you.
@kyleberg29@xanga - How do you know he's 14? Anyway, he could work for his family or something.
Girlie, listen to your boyfriend. He's right. Let it go. If you let this get to you, you may just drive a wedge between you that shouldn't be there. Thinking you don't deserve his love is the first mistake.
He's being logical and telling you there really is nothing you can do. No one is perfect, and love doesn't have to be symbolized. If it does, it should be both of your hearts.
@Mangonese@xanga - I am just assuming. In my day and age people usually date people the same age as them and as for her age it says it in the right hand corner in the About The Author box
@kyleberg29@xanga - Her profile says she was born in '92, so I'd guess she hasn't updated that in a while.
i lost my several hundred dollar ring in the parking lot of IHOP for a couple hours. life sucked.
@Mangonese@xanga - So
she is 17 then? You really think she has not updated her about me in 4
years? Maybe she hasn't updated it but her latest blog says she is with her sophomores at lunch, so unless it has taking her 3 years to get passed freshman level i'm guessing she is closer to 14 or 15
@kyleberg29@xanga - I haven't updated my other about me profile since I started the account in '01. I don't really care what people want to know about me. XD
I hung out with freshman and sophomores when I was a senior in high school. I mean, I was friends with pretty much the whole school. Small school, you know?
@kyleberg29@xanga - mm yeah, i haven't updated my profile and such in awhile. i'm 16 and he's 17.
@Mangonese@xanga - and yes, i'm now a senior. and i do hang out with sophomores.
@super_retarded_dork@xanga - :)
@Mangonese@xanga - thank you, by the way. your advice really relieves me.
Nope your screwed this is OVER! XD
@super_retarded_dork@xanga - No problem. :)
LOL PWN
i lost our first promise ring too =x
actually i threw it among some bushes when we had a heated quarrel, and we never manage to
find it after that.
i bought him another promise ring so as to 'compensate' him
but he is still wearing the first one ... which makes me guilty
Like everyone else said, there's nothing much that you can do. I agree with your boyfriend, sulking isn't going to fix anything. Yeah, the situation sucks, but what can you do?
You can always save up the money and get a ring just like it. Don't lie and say you found it, but tell him (if you were to do that) that you wanted to keep the symbolization or whatever.
You can't really do anything about it, so don't worry about it.
don't worry, he said that it's fine. accidents happen sometimes.
My best friend from a long time ago was dating my ex-boyfriend (which she stole from me, I might add) and he gave her a promise ring. She was in the bathtub one day shaving her legs and she took off the ring and set it on the side ledge because she doesn't like getting the ring dirty? Then she accidentally bumped the ring and it fell and rolled down the drain. I'm the type that wears her rings and rarely ever takes them off in fear of losing them or dropping them somewhere that is unretrievable. But your boyfriend is right--the ring doesn't signify how much love there is. You'll probably be more careful next time when it comes to stuff like that so be lucky it wasn't a wedding ring! :)
