It was an accident, these things happen sometimes. Even though it has a lot of sentimental value, you can still hold onto those feelings attached to the necklace and the sentiment behind it even if you don't find the actual necklace. I hope you guys work it all out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965627 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 12:33:20 +0000 mrs. wagon 1965627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man! :( I'm so sorry! It was an innocent mistake though... hope you figure out a good way to replace it (or that you get a holiday miracle)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965582 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 12:18:42 +0000 .twist. 1965582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Thanks.

You tried your best to find it &amp; get it back. He'll be sure to appreciate your effort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965568 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 12:10:35 +0000 LuLu Mom 1965568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't be able to wear the replacement knowing I was keeping it a secret from DH. I would tell him and find a replacement. I don't' think I would buy MIL because part of the story is you both have it, and I would want to keep it that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965565 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 12:07:06 +0000 jetsa 1965565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: you are not a terrible wife, stuff happens. I've lost my jewelry more times than I can count </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965558 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 12:03:32 +0000 .twist. 1965558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone. I am definitely going to tell him. It's never sat right with me NOT telling him. The only reason I haven't yet is because I am just HOPING upon hope that it will magically turn up. I am going to call the hotel one more time, but I'm really not holding my breath. </p> <p>Blah. I feel like such a terrible wife. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965555 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 12:02:55 +0000 Mamaof2 1965555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would tell him - I think he would be even more upset if you kept it a secret. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965551 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 12:00:38 +0000 Synchronicity 1965551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I hope everything works out :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965549 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 12:00:27 +0000 mrbee 1965549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I would definitely tell him and then decide what to do together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965543 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 11:58:22 +0000 .twist. 1965543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Synchronicity: @MaryM: yea, it's an expensive necklace, which is why I think she offered for me to buy it. hahaha But I totally get it. </p> <p>As for the secret, I feel like she's trying to keep DH from getting hurt, even though it also doesn't sit right with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965536 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 11:56:04 +0000 .twist. 1965536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Yea, I'm not having an easy time of it and my gut is telling me to tell him. I'm just so unhappy with myself and I lose things like crazy. I feel like it's just one more thing added to the list and I feel SO crappy about it because it was one of the most important things not to lose.</p> <p>@Synchronicity: I do. I will tell him. ugh.</p> <p>@pui: It would definitely add something to the story. haha </p> <p>@bluestriped bee: that sucks! Sadly, as much as I wish that could happen, I doubt I will ever see this one again. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965535 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 11:56:01 +0000 mrsjyw 1965535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know that I could keep it from DH. Although, out of the two options, I would want to buy the one from MIL as it has more of the sentimental value than a replica.</p> <p>I'm so sorry you lost it! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965534 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 11:55:21 +0000 looch 1965534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! I wouldn't replace it though, nothing would ever mean the same to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965532 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 11:55:07 +0000 pui 1965532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Synchronicity: Yeah that's true. If I was the MIL I'd probably give the necklace to her (assuming it didn't also have a lot of sentimental value to me too). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965531 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 11:54:59 +0000 MaryM 1965531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Synchronicity: Yeah. Her offer to sell it is what seems weird to me too. And her encouraging the secret. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965529 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 11:54:24 +0000 MaryM 1965529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I would feel worse lying to DH than I would about having lost the necklace</p> <p>If you can't find a replacement, maybe you can borrow MIL's and take it to a jeweler to have them recreate it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965526 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 11:54:08 +0000 Synchronicity 1965526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: I agree that the sentiment behind replacing the lost necklace with MILs seems better, but it's the paying her for it part that doesn't sit well with me, for whatever reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965524 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 11:53:59 +0000 Lindsay05 1965524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no :( </p> <p>I once vacuumed a necklace DH got me. I felt like such an insensitive bitch lol. You made a easy mistake. I know you can never replace the sentimental value of an item. I would probably apologize to DH and hope to find a replacement. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965522 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 11:52:47 +0000 BSB 1965522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost a necklace that DH got me and I scoured the web and found a replacement. Then a few months later, DH's aunt gave a ziplock bag with the necklace...it was at her house. I had to explain to the DH that I lost it and I bought a new one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965521 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 11:52:34 +0000 Synchronicity 1965521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Aw I'm sorry you're having a rough time :( Do you think you would feel better if you told him? As much as it would suck, I think it might eat at me if I kept it to myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965520 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 11:52:16 +0000 LindsayInNY 1965520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a terrible liar and wouldn't be able to NOT tell DH :/ Ugh, I'm so sorry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965518 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 11:51:50 +0000 pui 1965518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally I think the one from MIL would be nicer than just some other replacement. Her necklace is still part of that lovely story, while a new one is just a new one you got to replace the old one. IMO.</p> <p>:( So sorry you lost it.</p> <p>ETA: You should definitely tell DH. I think you'll feel better once you do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965515 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 11:51:20 +0000 .twist. 1965515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: I don't know if it was covered by insurance. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965512 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 11:50:57 +0000 .twist. 1965512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Synchronicity: @MaryM: I know. I feel like I should too but MIL said not to. LOL. I've been having a generally hard time with life right now and he just called me at work to make sure I was ok and tell me he loved me and I almost broke down on the phone and now I'm all weepy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965509 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 11:50:45 +0000 jetsa 1965509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd tell DH and contact your insurance (if applicable) and buy a new one. I'm sorry, what a crappy situation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965506 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 11:49:25 +0000 Smurfette 1965506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would tell DH. Sorry!! Maybe he can find another one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965503 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 11:48:39 +0000 Synchronicity 1965503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's terrible :( I'm really sorry someone couldn't be honest and turn it in. I think I would tell my DH.... I would absolutely try to replace it, but I don't think I would be able to keep that a secret, even though I would feel awful about it.</p> <p>ETA: I wouldn't buy it from MIL. That doesn't sit right with me for some reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-lost-jewelry#post-1965497 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 11:47:05 +0000 MaryM 1965497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would tell DH (mistakes happen). And continue to try to find a replacement. But I wouldn't buy MIL's. </p>
