Both of our rings were broken, so neither of us had worn them in a couple years. In Feb we had them repaired and both began wearing them. His became "too tight" in April and came off. I took mine off with separtion #5 in July. I wore them in Disney World in Sept, then again took them off for sep #6. He put his ring on this past Sunday. Mine are "too tight". (I have rhuematoid arthritis, this is legitimate. He's able to get his on now because he stress/lost 15 lbs with the last separation).<P>------------------<BR>Lor<BR>"Do not get tired of doing what is right, for after awhile you will reap a harvest of blessings if you do not get discouraged and give up.

Hi Everyone,<P>I took my ring off. I loved it at one point in time. But now I no longer wear it. Funny some days my finger feels naked. Tony actully asked about the ring this past weekend. We were in the car and he was hurt that I no longer wear it. I lied and said that I worry about the emrald getting scratched. Emralds are soft stones and can get damaged rather easily. Tony wants me to wear it but I just can not bring myself to.

Neither of us are wearing our rings. When H took his off in July (when he asked me to leave again), I took his ring and placed it behind mine (closest to my heart). I continued to wear the "church wedding" (the ones on my left hand) set (his included) until after I moved out in August, but continued to wear our "real wedding" rings (that I we had worn on our right hands) until the day I got the papers where he had filed for divorce. <P>I had all 5 of our rings with me the night I ran into him (while I was waiting for him) and his BT (brainless twinky) together. I had planned to put mine back on, and ask him to wear his again while we were working on rebuilding our marriage..... They are now locked in my jewelry box at home, incase I ever need money. I will never wear them again.<P>------------------<BR>My favorite quote....<BR>"Hello, this is God. I will be handeling your problems today. I will not need your help, so sit back and have a good day."<BR>

I used to take my wedding ring off when my W and I had bad enough fights to make me want to leave the marriage. Since I stopped threatening to do that, I've realized that as long as I still AM married, I should at least keep wearing my ring to remind me of the fact, even though my W has been having an affair for several years. So now I keep it on 24/7. On the other hand, my W mostly wears hers when she goes out, not so much around the house, claiming it's uncomfortable. And she always takes it (and her engagement ring) off before going to bed. Our wedding rings are a matched pair in an antique style bearing the inscription "Vous et null autre," old French for "You and no other." THAT'S a joke! (As far as she's concerned, anyway.) Regards and blessings,<P>--Wex

Timely topic... I just took mine off Sunday, I had been determined to keep it on no matter what, even though he took his off months ago, but I realized that I needed to "let go"... he emotionally divorced me a long time ago, he's been threatening to file for the past few months, I've been fighting a losing battle and only damaging myself for too many years now. Wearing a ring was never a big deal to him anyway, he'd "forget" to wear his even thought he knew how significant it was to me. When he took it off the last time and left in in clear view, he knew how it would affect me. Mine is sitting next to his now. I want to put it back on and keep trying, but I have to leave it off as a reminder to myself that it's time to let go and turn him and our marriage completely over to God. <P>I've got an old ring on that he gave me long before we were married in its place.<BR>

Hi All,<P>I wore the simple one more this year than ever before. I was always banging it up against the litter and other objects. I didn't want to damage it. Was this just an excuse? Yeah, I think so, too. Can you say Richard? Thinking more this year.<P>Nope I just can't wear it now, but I do have big bright get in your face red nail polish on the left hand ring finger to signify my bleeding heart. Get it?, left hand closest to heart. Never mind. It means something to me!<P>I should go night, night. Long day....night<P>------------------<BR>Wishing us all the Best.<P>Medic<P><BR>

I still have mine on. I take it off every now and then and read the inscription that she had engraved many years ago - Yours Forever. Maybe forever is about 20 years or so. Dang, am I cynical or what. Mine will stay on for the duration of my marriage. It's a vow I made to her. <P>SHA

Hi there,<P>I couldn't stand to look at my wedding ring on my finger, and all it symbolised.<BR>I took it off ages ago. The children play with it now, believe it or not.<P>I still wear my engagement ring (3 big diamonds - thanks honey !!) but on the other hand.<P>It fits in with an engagement ring that my Nanna left me, and a wedding ring of hers.<P>I have absolutely no desire to ever wear my old wedding ring again. If, and it;s a mighty big if, we ever can work this mess out, I would like a new plain gold band. New marriage, new relationship, new ring.<P>But as I said, I can't see it happening, and I don't know if I honestly want it to happen anymore.<P>Thats my little opinion, for what it's worth. Not much today, I'm afraid.<P>Take care of you<P>Jo
