In response to "TT Advice Question" by Strongbad

Is there a reason you can't tell her about the ring? I think I'm missing the dilemma here.

If this has the potential to be the real deal for you, I think honesty is the best approach.

  - 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
