I too am wearing my wedding ring. I will most likely wear it forever... just like my vow...(until death do us part)<P>Jim

I've already explained about my wedding band, but I forgot to mention what happened to my engagement ring.<P>I left my wedding band when I left my H, but I took my engagement ring because I didn't trust him. He had never bought me an engagement ring, instead he gave me my deceased grandmother's. It was beautiful, but I felt a little slighted that he couldn't have at least had the stone reset to make it a little more personal.<P>While I was travelling, I kept the ring locked in a safe in my hotel room. I checked out in a rush and forgot to get my ring out as I packed. I immediately called the hotel, but it was too late. My ring had been stolen. It is being investigated because the ring was very valuable, but the police think it is highly unlikely it will be recoverd.<P>I was already feeling like my H had destroyed my life, and to lose my beloved grandmother's ring because I wasn't wearing it anymore made things worse. It's easy to blame my H for what happened. On top of it all, we had never gotten around to getting an updated appraisal to insure the ring! That was one of the many things we had always meant to do. We neglected to insure my ring the same way we had neglected our marriage. Now we will have to start over, saving money for a new and much smaller ring as we rebuild our marriage. It will be a long time before I get another ring, so I will have to be patient. Just like I will have to be patient waiting and working on our marriage!

No! I took my ring off the day I sued him for divorce at the end of June. (5 months after discovery)

I took mine off for about a month after discovering his affair. It is a 4 band set, with 28 diamonds on the bands, plus a large diamond in the centre. He had given it to me for our 25th. anniversary. When I put my ring back on, it was my "original band" that we exchanged when we got married. It has his name/date of marriage inscribed on the inside. I smoehow knew that the ring would be tossed at him more than once, and I didn't want to damage my good ring! My H never wore his ring, due to work regulations, but he put it on in Dec./97, and wore it all through his affair. He went hunting last November, and while he was in the woods, he noticed it gone from his finger. He said he looked and looked, and finally found it. Similar to finding a needle in a haystack. The band had split, and fallen off. He brought it home with home, and still wore it, even though it was broken. Last Christmas, I bought him new one, with the inscription "forever and a Day." I now wear my "good" one, and many times, my H will take my ring finger, kiss the ring, and then put my left hand up to his heart. Too sweet!!!<P>------------------<BR><BR>SUCCESS STORY<P>

I am still wearing mine, as I am still married and still want to be married. My husband wore his while we were on our honeymoon, but when he went back to work, pizza dough collected on it, and we decided it would be okay for him to wear it on his gold chain. He stopped wearing the gold chain when the clasp broke and we couldn't afford to fix it... I have the chain, his cross pendant, his "Italian Stallion" charm and his ring. I had a new clasp put on around Christmas time last year and had hoped to be able to give it back to him by now ...<P>But I will continue to wear my ring until I am no longer married...<P>------------------<BR>terri<BR>No, I'm not a Marriage Counselor,<BR>But I did sleep at a <BR>Holiday Inn Express last night...<BR>
