Hi all. It's been about 1 month since D-Day for me. On D-Day I noticed that my wife was not wearing her wedding ring and she hasn't worn it since. I still wear mine and will continue; it is a symbol of the covenent between us and God and I will continue to honor it. Should we end up getting a divorce someday, I told her I will continue to wear the ring for one more year. I will do this to symbolize a new covenent I will make with me, my children, and God. I will seek to continue to be the best father I can. To be the stabilizing factor in their world, to be a 'somewhat' constant. <BR>Anyway, I know that should we divorce I will not be in any 'healthy' emotional state to pursue another relationship for at least one year. By continuing to wear the ring I will ward off the 'good' women out there who probably could have an impact on my heart... any woman that does try to get intimate with me while I am wearing the ring is a dead ringer for being trash. <BR>Should we reconcile I think I would like to re-new our marriage vows. She never did receive the wedding she desired... I would like to give it to her if I can.

Wow - I just came across this post - had not noticed it before. A couple weeks before D-day my H told me he "broke" his ring and threw it away. I didn't think twice about it until reading this. He probably threw it away but I'm not so sure now it was really broken.<P>He's had no interest in getting a new band and I guess I have the same fantasy as many - that someday we will renew our vows and exchange new rings. My original ring was a cubic zirconia that was replaced with an anniversary ring on our 10th anniv. But I always wished we had matching bands with something special engraved... maybe that is yet to come!<P>periwinkle

A year after D-day he bought both of us a new wedding band since he didn't feel right with the original ones since I broke my vows.<BR>Anyway i took my wedding band off last summer when I moved out.after he insisted one of us had to go. I still wear it at night sometimes but now that he's filed for D i've wanted to wear it but feel very funny about it. I keep trying to figure out what he would think. I keep telling myself its a symbol of his love and that it would be ok but I haven't put it back on. Would it be too stupid of me to wear it?<BR>lisa
