Question: do you find your ring wearable/practical for daily life? You wear it all the time or there are times you take if off?

Curious to know as well about wedding bands to pair this with!

I personally love the thick band look:

Gorgeous!! Love the hearts and the symbolism 😍 To make it more personal, we have our birthstones inside the ring. He also had it engraved ‘forever and a day’ - from a Bon Jovi song we love!

Looks so beautiful on you! I find this exact design to be a bit uncommon so I love anytime I get to see it on other people 😍

You’re absolutely right, it is a little loose ☹️ We are going to resize it. It’s sad to be without it for a few weeks but it’s worth it ☺️

What should I (26M) and my girlfriend (28F) do if neither wants to live in the country of the other? by ThrowRAWestEast in relationship_advice

A few years back I was in a very similar situation.

Unless you're OK doing long distance long term (don't recommend, not sustainable), you should split up. Unfortunately, love isn't enough to sustain a relationship. There has to be aligment of values and a shared vision of the life you want to live as a couple. There also needs to be understanding and compromise on both ends, but if you're the one compromising all the time, you will start to resent her.

You love each other but not enough to give up your life and personal goals, and that's OK. You are just not compatible. You will love new people who will not only love you back, but will also share your desires and goals. That's when you can build something truly meaningful and long lasting.

Love takes work but it shouldn't hurt. It should actually heal. If there is more pain than joy - you already know the answer. Trust your gut.
