Wearing ex’s promise ring

[Berrylove]

So recently I was looking through my jewellery for something to wear, and I stumbled across the promise ring my ex bought for me. I’m in a new relationship now and have been for quite a while, I’m more than happy and we have a wonderful dd together. So is it fine for me to wear this ring just as a ring? It’s a beautiful pandora ring and I do love it, and obviously it doesn’t mean anything anymore it’s just a piece of jewellery now, I wear other things my ex bought me, but I just didn’t know if this was different because it originally had a lot of meaning behind it? Do you think I’d be offending dp if I wore my ex’s ring?

Should you bin the ring because you’ve broken up?
How does it make you feel? Are you over the ex partner?
I’ve worn jewellery from ex’s before and just never told my DP where I got it - nor did he ask.
It’s what you make of it.. if you wanna wear it because you genuinely love the ring and not hold feelings for ex - does it matter?

I'd wear it as just a ring,

What’s a promise ring ?

Do you mean an engagement ring ?

What does DP think?

I wouldn't, personally, because I'm the type to think about where I got something from when I see it. The ring would remind me of the ex when I looked at it, even if it was a civil split.

But if you can see it as just a ring, and your DP is fine with you wearing it, do it. If he's not so fine, either talk to him (if you genuinely think you'd be fine if this was reversed, and he had some "promise" jewellery from an ex, or a t-shirt an ex used to wear all the time that reminded him of her or something), or get yourself a new Pandora ring.

'Promise' rings are just a cop out to delay proposals aren't they?
If so, I'd wear it. Especially as it's a Pandora ring and not some £2000 diamond.

I’d ask your DP. Mine asked me about cuff links from a Ex and I wasn’t bothered but thought it was nice he was considerate about it. Personally I don’t keep things from ex’s but that’s just me. A ring can just be a ring.

Wear it if you like it, just don't tell your DP what it signifies. There is no meaning there for you now so it's just a ring, why waste something you like?

I wouldn’t

I used to wear my first engagement ring on my other hand when with 2nd husband. I did ask him first and he didnt mind. It was beautiful, expensive and bespoke so it did seem wasteful to leave it in a box. I only stopped as it got lost in a move 😒

Yes, wear it if you love it!

What the heck is a 'promise ring'?

If you like it, just wear it.

Thanks everyone! I’m completely over the ex, I was the one that broke it off. Dp is more than likely to ask where I got it just out of curiosity and I’m crap at lying to him so no doubt I’ll just tell him my ex got me it like I have done with other bits and bobs and he’s been cool about them as I’ve made it clear they mean nothing to me as I wear them on nights out where I don’t care about losing them. It truly means nothing to me now other than it’s a pretty piece of metal and I want to wear pretty things 😂 if he’s not comfortable with the ring I guess I’ll just get rid 🤷🏻‍♀️

Never heard of a promise ring! What is it?
If you like it wear it. Out of consideration I'd ask what he thought if you wore it

@HugeAckmansWife ‘lost in a move’

I still wear a lovely ring my ex bf bought me and my partner doesn’t mind. We split on good terms and I see the ring as ‘just a ring’ x

It really was.. Actually i think the removal men (cheap unlicensed company) had it 🙄

the buggers!
