Hey, Everyone

I'm not with my wife anymore, but I kind of like my wedding ring. It's not a traditional design for a wedding ring, so it could pass, I guess, as just a random ring. I guess it might be described as a Gaelic design. Would it be OK to wear it on my right hand?

No, you need to get rid of it. Constant physical reminders of broken emotional bonds are unhealthy, and will constrain your progress moving forward.

Sell it.

This ^

But maybe you’re not ready to get rid of it yet. That’s ok.

I slowly but surely got rid of all vestiges of my first marriage.

First was wedding album and pictures.

Then a month later, the ring.

A month later, I burned the marriage certificate/license.

I’d say yes get rid of it all, but at your own pace.

There is no such thing as divorce, she's just your estranged wife. Get back with her.

You guys don’t know what happened in his case.

Perhaps she cheated.

Perhaps he cheated.

Perhaps she doesn’t want to get back with him.

Any one of those is grounds for divorce.

If he is posting here I doubt it is the one thing I would consider irreconcilable. All can and should be forgiven.

IIRC, wearing a wedding ring on the right hand signifies you are a widow/widower. Probably not too commonly practiced these days though.

Yeah, I guess it really doesn't count if one just wishes she was dead, does it?

I threw my first one away, just like I threw the ring from that marriage away. In the end, neither were worth holding on to. I've got a keeper now and the ring to match. Don't hang on to the worthless things. Do good for yourself and keep you eyes, heart and mind open to finding one worth keeping and holding onto forever. They're hard to find if you still have reminders of the one that wasn't worth it. Best of luck to you, brother.

By choice, you aren't together? Don't mean to pry. Just that you might have negative emotions associated with her if not that are linked to the ring.

It was by choice, just not my choice. I think I can let the negative part go because I like the ring. I was looking for something today and came across the velvet box the ring was in. I opened it and thought, shit, that's a good looking ring, I ought to be wearing it. I don't generally wear jewelry of any kind (not since my hippy days) but I really like this ring.

Maybe customize it a bit, but shouldn't be any issues wearing it.

Yes, wear what you want. Left hand signals marriage ring.

Keep wearing it until you are out of the bang everything that moves phase of your recovery from the divorce. For some base and disgusting reason women will flock to you while you are wearing it. Go hang out at a college bar somewhere and you will see what I mean

It's because to them it means they must be worth more than the woman you married. It also means that another woman has already found you as an acceptable man either financially or sexually.

Then there's the crazy and the drama they can cause.

Pawn it , use proceeds for cocaine fueled whoring

Get a new ring that is the style you like and pawn this one off.

That's a good idea, or just use the money to buy a man toy, like a new gun or something...

Wear it if you want who cares what it's suppose to symbolize. Sorry about the loss of your marriage.

The ring was a consecrated symbol of vows. Now it is not. I'm not passing judgement, just pointing that out.

[–] • 0 pt

I'm not the one who broke those vows, if that makes any difference...

Sorry to hear that. It's your ring, and whatever meaning, memory, or lack thereof is yours as well. Do what you like.
