Hi all,
Just wondering if you think this is a sin.
My engagement ring is worth quite a bit of money and I never wear it, haven't worn it in years and no longer fits. I would love some extra money to have.
Do you think its a sin to sell it and not tell my husband?

Someone please tell me this is a troll.

You need to talk with your husband before doing anything.
-
How do you intend to sell it? I think talking to your husband would be right because I’m assuming he bought it for you. What happens when he finds out that you sold the ring?

You'd be surprised how little you will get for your ring. Look at FB marketplace and craigslist and see what they are going for. You will get less from a broker.
Plus an engagement should have a level of personal attachment. Maybe you would want to pass it on to your son or daughter....???
-
I would NOT sell the ring without husbands approval, but I think some people here may misunderstand what you're saying.
It sounds like she's trying to sell the Engagement Ring, not the Wedding Ring, as she refers to not telling a husband, not a fiancee. So I'm assuming she's still wearing a wedding ring as the Engagement Ring is no longer worn due to now being Married. So if it's just there collecting dust then either hand it down years down the road or talk to your husband about selling it.

Rabbi, is that you?

Hi
Me again, it's not my wedding but my engagement.
I'm not a troll, I just thought it's gathering dust, and the money xoule be put to better use. I doubt the world will still be going in 20 years with how everything is.
-
The big problem is taking an action behind your husband’s back. It would be a sin to sell it with out talking to him first.
-
Do you do other sinful things behind his back? Then why would sell a ring he gifted you?

What does "better use" look like to you?

To clarify, although I think most understood this: You are now a married woman who wears her wedding ring but not her engagement ring. Yes?
Why would you not consult your husband about selling the ring?

Selling the token that your husband gave you, as a sign that he was willing to commit to an exclusive life long relationship, without consulting him.
What could possibly go wrong? :facepalm:
-
I don't think it is a sin per se, since he gave it to you. If it is your personal item, you can do it as you like. This is how I understand it.
The question is why would you do it behind his back, as you put it. Do you have a good reason for this?
It might not me a sin, but it might be imprudent, since he might see this sell as a lack of affection on your part.
-
Why do you want to avoid telling your husband? Depending on the reason you might want to talk to a priest.
-
Why don’t you want to tell him? If he doesn’t want you to sell it then don’t. Even if you don’t agree, it’s best to yield to your husband.

The "put to better use" sounds like it's also planned to be kept hidden from your husband. Will he not notice the new dress, new appliance, new knickknacks, or whatever? Or is it a secret stash for impulse spending on consumables that he can't obviously notice?
If the "better use" is something for the family or the household, or as a rainy-day reserve fund, then why not discuss it with him first?
As for the world in 20 years, that's for another topic, but it kind of sounds like an "eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die" sort of outlook.

This was my concern above. I wonder whether the "better use" could be worse than your ideas.
-
Unless your husband is very ill, out of work and you're willing to sacrifice the ring to support him and your family, I wouldn't do it.
That ring supposedly holds greater sentimental value than dollar value. Your husband may have sacrificed to be able to get it for you; just guessing.
It might appear that it's meaning ( and him) means nothing to you if you sold it, and that could have consequences.

You seem to have communication problems with your husband. Shouldn’t you cherish such a once in a lifetime gift?
