There shall, in that time, be *rumors* of things going astray, errrm, and there shall be a great confusion as to where things really are....

Based on a few of these responses, it sounds like you should go with:

"Honey, I took my ring off to be safe while working on [insert manly or housework activity here] and put it here. But it's gone. Have you seen it?"

Or

"I was rubbing it so hard [insert good reason for rubbing here] that it just wore away to nothing!"

I feel the beginnings of an opening to an explanation.. especially if she's found it and is waiting for me to fess up.. well she's out most of today so more searching then fess up time this evening ..

I'm amazed she hasn't noticed. Pretty sure Mrs C would spot it within a couple of hours

Or maybe......'Sorry I lost my ring my love but I had to take it off as how would I have caught the eye of the leggy blond in the pub last night' .......On second thoughts go with one of Markmas...

You could throw away your wallet, punch yourself in the face, cut off your finger and say you were mugged.....

An excellent plan, sir. With only 3 minor drawbacks...

That reminds me of a joke.

Husband goes out to the pub and wife tells him not to get drunk.
He duly does and is sick over himself. He tells his friend that he is drunk and his wife will divorce him for such. His friend gives him £20 and tells him to tell the wife, that someone else threw up over him and he was given £20 is to pay for the dry cleaning.
He gets home, the wife sees his bad state and starts to erupt. She calms her down and tells her the lie. She says 'so what's the other £20 for'.
'That' he says 'is from the man who $hit in my pants'

Thought i'd spotted it amongst some cr4p in the garage.. turned out to be a brass compression washer..

 

[Oishi]

Does it fit your finger?

 

[Manc5]

Does it fit your finger?

haha.. crossed my mind.. but nope.. too small

 

[zagatoes30]

It's times like this when I am glad I have never had a wedding ring

 

[Manc5]

So the hour arrived and I fessed up.. used the "I have no recollection of taking it off and no idea where it is".. surprisingly calm reaction of - "I'm sure it will turn up" I am now more worried than before I told her and this has me thinking what has she lost / bought / done that she will trade this off with me against.
Well the search will continue albeit not as urgently as before, along with a forensic review of the bank / credit card / savings statements...

There's no point in worrying or even thinking about this anymore ... your wife will never forget and there's no point in you both using memory

 

[midlifecrisis]

All I can seriously think to say is , retrace your steps from when you last think you had it on your finger. It might come back to you. Failing that, tidy up everywhere. room by room. I tell that to the my Mrs when she has lost something, it's surprises me how clean the place looks afterwards and how much stuff (cr4P) she finds and bins. If anything it might win you some brownie points.

Or Pray to St Anthony, that's the old Catholic trick.

Weirdly when we have lost the highest importance items for the longest time, they always turn up in a glove compartment or door pocket in a car. (two passports, two sets of keys and a birth certificate so far)

I once found my house keys in the fridge.... but that was to do with late night snacking post pub.....

I once found my son in the bath (after he’d had a night out)!

I once put my son in the bath after he'd had a night out. It was the easiest place to hose him down.
