What did you do with your wedding rings and when did you take your wedding ring off did you take it off before you split up with your husband or after divorce and how long where you married for

I take mine off sometimes at night, or gardening, or cycling. But I'm not divorced, so there is practicality rather than emotional meaning attached to those decisions.

I would guess you're feeling very fragile right now, and you've centred some of that distress onto your ring. It is still your ring, you can take it off straight away, or you don't have to ever take it off if you don't want to and be buried in it if you like, or you can start the day without it and put it back on later. Don't feel rushed, and don't feel like you can only make the decision once. You've got a whole future that you're grieving for, and it's OK to be sad. Sending you sympathies.

If your marriage is over then take it off. You don't need a piece of paper to tell you it's done

I'm happily married but don't wear a wedding ring. Neither does DH.

I wouldn't wear a wedding ring if I have split up with my husband, that's a bit odd surely?

As it happens I barely wear one anyway and we have been married over 20 years
