TT Advice Question

Posted by Strongbad (aka Rambler14) Dec 30 '08, 08:58

Over the holidays, my grandmother gave me my great-grandmother's wedding ring in case I were to be in the position to pop the question to my current GF. We've only been dating 6 mo, she's moving in over the next 2 weeks and it's fairly serious, but I'm not in a position to be thinking about marriage quite yet. Possibly down the road.

Where do I keep this? I can't hide it at the house, right? I don't own a safety deposit box anywhere, would that be a good option? Any other brilliant ideas?

Responses:

Is there a reason you can't tell her about the ring? I think I'm missing the dilemma here. - mrfuzzy Dec 30, 09:15 9
- Might ruin the surprise when/if he pops the question -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 30, 09:20 2
  - and also could generate the "Can I see it? Oh, I wouldn't want that as my ring. It's not right for me" response -- nm - oblique Dec 30, 09:22 1
    - If she doesn't like it you damn well better get rid of her. -- nm - Grandma si Dec 30, 09:24
- "if I ever ask you to marry me." probably isn't a line you want to utter to your serious girlfriend. -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 09:18 1
  - Which is why I wouldn't phrase it like that. :) - mrfuzzy doing warrior pose Dec 30, 09:24
- In advance of asking her? That might be... a little much? -- nm - Strongbad Dec 30, 09:17 3
  - "Grandma gave me a family heirloom, her wedding ring, I'm thinking I should keep it in a safe deposit box to keep it safe" -- nm - oblique Dec 30, 09:18 2
    - Yes, something like this. It may even open the door to a conversation about what you each see as the future of your relationship. -- nm - mrfuzzy doing warrior pose Dec 30, 09:21
    - "Why would your gandma give you something like that... unless... OMG!!! YES YES YES!!!" -- nm - Future live-In GF Dec 30, 09:19
Pop the question with very long term view to it.. Let her sweat where to keep it! (NM) - Marlowe Dec 30, 09:12 1
- heh *or* propose to another girl 500 miles away so she can keep it safe on her finger until it's time to break up with her. -- nm - Loyola Dec 30, 09:15
Hidden in the attic somewhere, maybe. -- nm - Loyola Dec 30, 09:10
Put it in a box of crackers -- nm - oblique Dec 30, 09:05
Hide it in the Sex Panther -- nm - con_carne Dec 30, 09:05
send it to me, I'll keep it safe for you... -- nm - znufrii Dec 30, 09:04 2
- Now I have a mental picture of Gollum with znufrii's face. :) -- nm - Strongbad Dec 30, 09:07 1
  - I wants it! -- nm - znufrii Dec 30, 09:12
Get a little fire safe thingy. -- nm - Amy SuperHoop Queen Dec 30, 09:01 11
- She already owns one, obviously can't use that. Buying another would probably be suspicious. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 30, 09:03
- "What's locked in here?" -- nm - Future Live-In GF Dec 30, 09:02 5
  - "Oh, just paperwork." -- nm - Amy SuperHoop Queen Dec 30, 09:05 4
    - so you want him to lie to his (maybe) future wife? :) -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 09:06 2
      - Right this very second she's thinking about all the stuff she has to hide when she moves in! -- nm - Amy SuperHoop Queen Dec 30, 09:07 1
        
        Like "Steve?" -- nm - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Dec 30, 09:11
    - "About what? Why won't you show me? WHAT'S WITH ALL THE SECRETS!!!" -- nm - Future Live-In GF Dec 30, 09:06
- "honey, what do you keep in that little safe?" "nothing! don't look in there! it's my own personal private business!" -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 09:02 3
  - (though if you answer like that, she'll probably just think it's porn) -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 09:07 2
    - ooh, hide it with porn! then it'll be like a prize if she ever finds the porn! -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 09:11 1
      - "That's one fancy cock ring..." -- nm - Future GF SI Dec 30, 09:13

saftey deposit box. -- nm - Remlik Dec 30, 09:00
"Do you know where I hid this large...cold...uncomfortable hunk of metal?" [nm] - Mel Profit Dec 30, 09:00
Get a safe deposit box. They're like $10/year or something -- nm - oblique Dec 30, 09:00
Getting a safety deposit box is probably the best/safest option. -- nm - Cuzzin Tauld Land Syne Dec 30, 08:59 3
- Credit Union doesn't offer them... would I have to set up an account at a bank to use it? -- nm - Strongbad Dec 30, 09:06 1
  - I would find a local bank that will let you have one without an account. Might have to call around -- nm - oblique Dec 30, 09:09
- what he said. you don't want her finding it before you're ready (or before she is, for that matter). -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 09:01
