I recently had my husbands name tattoed on my left hand ring finger in place of a wedding ring as I never wear my ring (can't at work). He loves it and I love it and I know that is all that matters but a couple of our family members don't seem to think this was a good idea. Our frriends seem more supportive than our family! Do you think this is there way of letting us know they don't think our marriage will last? I was very offended. Should I say something or just let it slide?

No way I'd get a guy's name tattooed on me, even if we were in love, and he was my husband. I just don't like the idea of having a guy's name tattooed on me.
BUT THAT IS JUST ME!!!!
You need to tell your family that they need to mind their own business, and that you and your husband did something that worked well for the two of you as a couple, and again, they need to butt out!! I think your idea was very creative and personal for a creative and personal relationship that only the two of you share. Well done!

I would say it is probably more to do with you having a tattoo with a name, i personaly wouldnt do it but i think if you both like it then more power to you and all the best. I would ask the rellies what their problem is with it but wouldnt make an issue out of it.

Whether they meant it or not.. I would have taken offence to it as well. If it were me, I would have said something. But that's just my personality haha.

In all honesty, although I do have some tattoos, I would never, ever, have a name tattooed anywhere on myself. I'm sure you will understand and appreciate that your family are only concerned for you, there is no need to be offended hun

Well, 50% of marriages end in divorce, so your family was probably just being practical. I would just let it slide.
