My husband and his wedding band from previous marriage...?

My husband and I have been married almost three years. We both have wedding bands--I am satisfied with mine. I bought his when we got married and it's pretty big, and he thinks its very comfortable. However, for the last year he's wanted a different ring. He wants one with designs, etc. A year ago, he said he thought he still had his and his ex-wife's wedding set around (10 k gold, $60 for set) and wanted to melt them and some other gold and make another wedding band. I was very hurt, found it distastful and the idea made me uncomfortable. We fought about it, he said finally that he wouldn't do it, that he understood. Today, the subject came up again when we were cleaning a storage room out and found a wedding band. He yelled at me, said I was illogical. I just want to know if I'm the only person that would feel queasy melting and weilding together her husband's previous marriage's bands to go towards a wedding band for their marriage. Thanks, anyone. I'm feeling pretty down
