He threw his wedding ring back at me so many times

My husband has thrown his wedding ring back at me so many times it felt like it was a boomerang rather than a ring....the last time he did it I said he wouldn't get it back. A year later, after he has filed for divorce - his choice - he has randomly asked for it back 'because it's mine' he said. I have it tucked away upstairs - do I have to give it back? Don't ask me why I want to keep it because I don't know!!!

"You threw it at me. Whatever made you think I picked it up?"

I think you should give it back because

a) it's his
b) you will look peevish otherwise

Always better to be the bigger person.

And other people may think less of you for holding on to it.

Alice, really?!

Throwing his wedding ring at op and leaving and then coming home several times was about control. Do as i say or ill leave! Giving it back says she kept it. It is him trying to control her still. The most sensible thing to do is sell it and tell him she had no idea where it is. He threw it away. It was no longer his at that point: at no point should a woman who is finally free of a controlling husband allow him to get some control. If people would think bad of op for not allowing a controlling ex husband to get control of her again, they are not worth knowing.

Oh gosh, last time you threw it at me I have no idea what happened to it. Perhaps you should have taken better care of it if you actually wanted it. Hey ho.
