Can you ask the mods to combine your threads please?

As far as wedding ring on or off, it's up to you. I took mine off after about 7 months of Plan B. Others do it before their WS leaves the house.

Mine is off. I took it off after 2 months in plan B. If the M recovers vows will have to be taken again. The ring symbolizes the marital vows which our WH broke.

I never did a plan B, but mine stayed on until the divorce papers were signed by the jugde and filed in the courthouse.

Keep it on. I did not have mine during Plan B (threw it at FWH on d-day and lost it) and it was not good.

BS's must put out a scent of vulnerability because all of a sudden you will start getting hit on like crazy. Keeping it on will help you keep your guard up and not send out the wrong message.

You can do whatever you want, keep it on, or remove it, whatever makes you feel better..... but please please please stick to just one thread for all these subjects.

I think it depends on the reason for wearing the ring in the first place.

If you want to send the message that you consider yourself married then leave it on.

If you don't consider yourself married take it off.

It's a ring signifying you are married.

It's an individual choice for what YOU feel you are, married or not.

Following Mrs.Flint's acceptance to do MB Plans with me we had a new one made with the date of the NEW marriage and the engraving of Policy of Radical Honesty (PORH) on the inside.

She wears that today instead of the other.

Because THIS one means something...

If it were me, I'd keep it on for the rest of my life until or unless I gave up and began searching for a new mate. Despite her infidelity, I married my wife for life or longer. Just because she chose to forget her vow does not mean I did.
