What happened to your Wedding Ring after Divorce?

[Nightynight]

a question for all lone parents, male or female...
At what stage did you stop wearing your wedding ring? Did you feel bad, or celebrate? What happened to it?

I carried on wearing it for ages, dx bullied me into stopping eventually, and nicked the ring as well.

I dont feel right wearing no ring at my age, and after so many ring wearing years. Its a bit like calling yourself "Miss" when youre 40. So Ive started to wear an old signet ring, its not even gold, on my wedding ring finger.
What I really need is a ring that says "available for marriage, but p**s off if youre just after casual sex"
Is there any recognised code for divorcees?

Nightynight,I wear it to keep all the men off. Just kidding.

I wear it because although we are divorced I still think of it as hugely significant.

I am now with someong else (father of my kids). Yes I will always wear it, no I don't think I will ever get married again as it seems to me to be the only absolutely sure way to avoid ever getting divorced again.

he he, I might love myself that much!

[lunavix]

NN you can get them for about £5 from argos

[lunavix]

When I broke up with ex-h I took them off immediately they were horrid tat in yellow gold (which I never wear!) which cost about $100Aus for the pair! (yes I'm shallow with jewellery!) Sold them both at a carboot for £1 to a nice old lady

Can't wait to wear my gorgeous white gold wedding ring saturday, we've had it in the drawer with dh2b's for over 8 months!

[Nightynight]

how much does a claddagh cost???!

[flamesparrow]

Do you not love you?

[Nightynight]

Wait a mo. Isnt a claddagh a traditional gift from someone who loves you? Sniff [wallows in selfpity]

[Nightynight]

A claddagh is a lovely idea. Ive got no celtic connections but do love claddaghs. Will look into it next time Im in the UK!

[flamesparrow]

NN - What about a claddagh (sp??) ring - the hands holding a crown? I've got a feeling that if you wear it one way then it means you're available, and the other means you're not.

Means you still get to wear a ring, and it has some significance too.

Took my rings off about 2 months after ex-h left me when I realised he wasn't coming back.
I had a diamond engagement ring and a hand made diamond and sapphire eternity ring as well as my wedding ring and so I have put them away for our dd and will give them to her when she is 18.

[ninah]

Used to keep it in my handbag til my handbag got stolen. It left black marks on my finger so I didn't miss it! Miss my gold/diamond bracelet from lovely dp when I was having ds much more -lost in a shopping centre trying on unsuitable clothes ...
Now wear a big turquoise ring from accessorize and lots of wooden beads

[bonym]

Mine had previously been my grandmother's and for this reason I didn't want to get rid of it so I swapped it onto my right hand for a while. Since I got a shiny new ring to go with my shiny new husband, it's just sat in my jewellry box.

[Nightynight]

jasper, why? do you want to get married again? do you think you will ever stop wearing it?
dont answer if thats a bit nosey

[jasper]

still wear it

[lemonice]

I think it's around somewhere but together with engagement ring we both decided was a bit naff I stopped wearing them ages before we ever thought about spliting up - I think the wedding ring cost something like £9.00 and the engagment ring was more than £50.00..

[galaxy]

dh's was thrown into the sea into Tobago (his one from his ex wife I mean) and I sold mine from my 1st marriage at a car boot for a tenner.

[WideWebWitch]

I've still got my wedding ring somewhere and now wear an engagement ring on the third finger of my left hand (Dp and I haven't got around to getting married yet). In between I was ringless and quite liked it.

[jessicasmummy]

i was engaged to my ex p and pawned my ring too.... it was only a cheap one, but stil/ 1/4 carat diamond..... he wasnt impressed but do i care?!

[Caroline5]

LOL at the hoover btw pagan!!

[Caroline5]

Took them off about a week after we split up. It felt weird still wearing them. Keeping them for now (still a bit sentimental...)

[Caligula]

I've still got them. Have fantasies about selling them on e-bay some time but too stoopid and lazy to bother to work out how to do photos.

One day.

[Libb]

make out a diamond - I mean!

[Libb]

my engagement ring and wedding together only cost £150 so I don't think ebay will do much for me. If you squint you can just make a diamond . . . the engagement ring is in its box upstairs and wedding ring is in my wallet (along with some love notes from ex-h - to this day I have no idea why I can't throw them out, it was my choice to begin with!)

[Loobie]

I stopped wearing my engagement ring when we split and when i found he had someone else about 6 months ago and he thought id be jealous cause i wanted him backi took great delight in pawning both my engagement and eternity rings !! and even more delight in telling him i had to show just how much i wanted him back LOL

[Bugsy2]

I like my ringless status, it makes me feel young - which is just as well, because nothing much else does!!!
Have kept all my rings: engagement I plan to give to DD when she is 18 as it is a lovely ring, eternity I wear on special occasions as it is very sparkley and not really sure what to do with wedding ring
