I'm sure I'll get a lot of alpha "I threw that shite in trash" answers, but I'm really wondering.



It's what happened. Wore it until the day she moved out and then didn't wear it the next day. Saw it sitting on the kitchen counter and it made me so angry I flung it in the trash.

It wasn't an expensive ring...tungsten...so there wasn't any real monetary value to it.

I took mine off the day we decided to call it quits. For a while it was in a drawer, but I honestly don't even know where it is now.


Exactly me too

Been separated 2.5 months with apparently no chance of reconciliation, but still find myself wearing it every day.


Why?

if your wife says peace out and wanted a divorce, when did you stop wearing your wedding ring?


About 10 seconds after she stopped talking.

The morning after she moved out I was on the road to a job in NOLA from BR.

Threw that ring in the spillway. Felt like 100 lbs off my shoulders immediately.

I threw mine at Jodi's truck as he was peeling out of my driveway.

I have a hard time believing everyone who posts these threads or in them are the innocent victims of a trashy bitch of a woman.

I’d probably keep wearing it since it can be a good skank magnet.

That's where I am at right now, although hope is fading fast.


Hope only ends if either one of you dies or remarries.

There are plenty of examples where couples couldn’t figure it out the first time around only to reconcile and figure it out together the second time.

If you feel like standing for your marriage, stand for your marriage. It won’t be easy. And you may feel like you’re in it alone at times. But what if you find a way to work on yourself first and then are able to work on the marriage together? What if?

Don’t lose hope. Hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things.

We know of one (sort of). Couple marries, divorces. Both remarry, divorce. Get back together, do not remarry, but live together as a couple and raise kids together.

No matter what happens, there are things I need to work on in order to be a better person. That will make be better whether we reconcile or not.

That process is teaching me a lot of what I need to work on, and it's also teaching me that it's not 100 percent my fault. But, it's teaching me that I need to be better, whether it's to reconcile this marriage, or for my future without her.

been married for 15 years and never put it on after the wedding. Don't wear a watch either. That stuff drives me nuts.

You seem like a good dude trying to do the right thing. Is this eminent? Are you guys separated? Do the kids know? Are they old/mature enough to ask their thoughts?

I got a divorce after nearly 10 years. No kids, just didn't work out and neither of us were happy. No chance of reconciliation. I still struggled with the same question. Think I wore mine for 6/8 weeks then took it off.

On another note, I am happier than I could've ever imagined. It sucks now and will likely get worse before it gets better, but there's better days coming. Neither of you deserve to be unhappy.

My ring was forged by dwarves out of star metal. So I mean I'd keep and wear it in any circumstance. Never know when I'll find a wizard or druid to enchant it.
