Thanks for all the replies everyone.
HyeBruin,
I really don't think that there are other hidden issues with this besides the ring. I realize it may come off as superficial or rude to be giving a second thought about the ring (and actually a part of me wishes I never posted about it), but it was simply that I have always wanted a specific style (since I was a teenager), and maybe I never conveyed that to him because the proposal was a surprise. That's all. I really don't think that my feeling this way about the design of a piece of metal has anything to say about my love or commitment towards him, or about underlying resentment. As close as we are, we are two different people, with different brains, thoughts, and tastes in clothing, jewelry, or whatever it may be. Also, when it came time for me to give him a ring, I was sure to pick out exactly what he wanted--because although I may prefer something totally guady ...in yellow gold and big diamonds for a man (which i dont!) he may have different taste. I'm not thinking about the symbolism of the ring, etc etc. We both know how we feel for each other, with or without the rings. But I did want him to feel comfortable with what he will be slipping on every day. In any case, thanks for the response, because it did make me look at it from a different perspective, but I honestly don't think that's the issue.
Stormig,
I'm not sure why I offended you with this topic, but I apologize if you took it the wrong way.
Anonymouse,
The desktop idea was funny--kinda over the top and a little late though
Everyone else, thanks again--I appreciate it.
