OK - it was accepted. The ring is out and he doesn't hate me (although he does feel a bit disappointed that the ring had the opposite reaction to the one he hoped for!). it means a lot to me that he's agreed to this and I will do well to remember it. Now we are working together on our SL (although not right now as I have a cold and feel about as sexy as a lump of dough). Old us would have had a long drawn out argument with lots of resentment. New us can find a way through. It's not easy but it's not impossible. H does have other piercings too but he's had these for years, and he has a lot of tattoos as well. I don't know why this one disgusts me so much, I think the timing was so wrong. I was planning on trying to improve our SL, felt secure enough to bring it up in a few weeks time and when I heard about the piercing I suppose I thought "I have been dropping hints that our SL should be better for years, now you go and do somethign which gives YOU pleasure which I've apready said I wouldn't like". I helped create this situation by not clearly and calmly communicating what I wanted. Won't make that mistake again.
