Q: What to do! My husband buys me rings that are simply ugly. If I say something he is offended. Yet if I say I like this or that in the store or catalog he ignores me or says “HE” don’t like it. I love the fairytale artistic styles. While he likes simple and EVERYTHING round! I CANNOT wear white gold yet he likes it so he buys it. What do I do when I can’t stand to wear the ring?

Answer:
What you need is an unbiased third party to help mediate this situation. Find a close friend who is completely neutral on the matter to help you two discuss the situation. If you don’t have an unbiased friend, try couple therapy. The issue here is that although giving gifts is always rewarding to the person who gives them, it should also be about giving something that the other person likes. For whatever reason, he’s not listening to you. So you need to find an unbiased person he will listen to. Communication is key in a relationship, and it’s important that you get this mended right away.
