My husband bought me one just like it, an anniversary ring. I love it and wouldn't give it up for the world. He got it for me while I was in nursing school too. We couldn't rightly afford it either but I could never return something so precious. It's meaning alone is enough that you should keep it. Everything will work out, everyone goes through rough times, but once you get those initials behind your name you will have enough money to buy whatever you want (eventually) :)
JMO - can you afford to insure the ring? If not, return it. If yes, then keep it and enjoy it.
Having said that, if you are having such negative feelings about it, maybe you should follow your instinct and return it until you and dh can afford it w/out any reservations. Personally, I would not want to keep something that had negative vibes attached.

Hi guys
I'm ready to graduate with my ADN in December, and today me and my husband are celebrating our 10-th anniversary. My husband got me an absolutely stunning 3 diamonds ring. Unfortunately, it is very expensive and out of budget for us. I was so worried, I couldn't sleep last night thinking about my huge student loan, all those bills, and that we can't really afford luxury of diamonds right now. I know I'll start to work in a few months (hopefully) and that should take away most of financial worries, but right now I don't know what to do. Do you think I should keep the ring? I'm close to returning it to the store, even my husband do not want me to do that. May be I am just overreacting because of all nursing school-induced stress and anxiety and will regret the ring in a few months? What would you do?
