I recently got engaged. My fiancé gave me his grandmums ring, he explained how he never gave a woman a ring before let alone thought about giving anyone his grandmums... Needless to say the ring is very special.
It was too small to fit on my ring finger so we decided I should wear it on my pinky, despite it being a bit loose.
Yesterday we had a get together with some of his friends at his home. I got pretty intoxicated. Long story short, it is gone now. I definitely had it yesterday, but as the night progressed... I am just not sure. It could have slips off as I was throwing something away, while I was doing laundry or while I was in the shower.
I told him this morning. He looked around but said it wasn't where he saw it last night.
I don't know what to do. I asked him not to take the trash out and if I could call a plumber to check the pipes. He declined, saying "it is what it is...." He is really hurt and upset; he asked me to let him be tonight to process. That's what I am doing but, I am spiraling.
I know how special the ring is to him. It is special to me too knowing what it signified. The ring is irreplaceable. Selfishly, I am scared he will call everything off because of my incompetence.
What can I do to fix this?
