Your significant other gives you a heart felt and expensive gift for Christmas and you lose it on accident, do you tell them?

Open and honest communication is always the best policy in times like this. Perhaps he noticed and is thinking you are not wearing it or using it because you hate it. I am sure you would not want him thinking that, so tell him straight up, and chances are he will help you look for it.

I would tell him! He knows how I am about losing stuff, and I doubt he'd be surprised at all. He'd get me a replacement because he's just that awesome.

I would replace it. It is not worth hurting their feelings if I can make it right before they notice. If it was an accident, I'm sure they would understand.

But I would not want to cause them to be sad, if I can help it. I think that would be unnecessary. I wouldn't hide that it was missing.

I'm a horrible liar, and would feel horrible to deceive them.

I actually did lose my diamond engagement ring, about ten years ago. I told him. We are still looking for it.

I have just about given up that it will ever be found. He is a little more optimistic. We finally settled down about five years ago, but up till then we were moving every year or two.

We have many boxes that have not been unpacked in years...

Of course I would tell him. Maybe he could help me find it! We're both getting a little absent minded as we get older so he would understand.

He notices everything so there would be no point in trying to hide the fact that it was lost.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
