GizMo567 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I was just curious because i cannot get rid of this damn ring she gave me (wedding band..BAH!). It's either on my finger or around my neck but i guess the break up is still new thats why. I was wondering if anybody kept theres or they are still wearing it around. Just curious. Link to comment
broken-hearted Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Well, i didnt get a ring, but i have put all the things related to her, wether they are gifts, or anything, into a box and put it somewhere beyond my eye sight. I think its best not to have any reminders around not until you have healed totally. Link to comment
CatsMeeoow Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hang on to it if it makes you feel better... at least for now. Sometimes you can donate to charity auction and you get a tax write off. Personally if your breakup is relatively fresh I wouldn't do anything rash at the moment. Don't rid yourself of it and then suddenly you wished you hadn't. Some people go through and cut up all the pictures of the two of them together.... not me... I want to be reminded of that trip to Greece and who he was at the time we took it... (and that I cried on the plane trip home because he was an ass and a complete stranger had to bring me a tissue rather than the idiot next to me!) I want to remember from where I came and where I'm going. Link to comment
auburnslp Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I pawned my first wedding band for 20 bucks and bought a case of beer and went camping with friends. It was great! I now have another to get rid of-divorced twice-loser, I know-but this is a really nice ring, but it's inscribed-does anyone know if an inscription can be taken off so I could sell it for more than $20?

Cognitive_Canine Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I wouldn't keep wearing it but I'd keep it around. What caused you two to break up anyway? Link to comment
Portage Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I don't even know where my wedding ring is??? *scratches head* Oh well. Link to comment

redrose85 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I still have my old e-ring. It's just a gemstone ring with a couple of small diamonds on either side. I'd like to eventually incorporate the diamonds into another piece of jewelry, so I don't want to get rid of it. Link to comment
minigirl Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I still have my promise to get engaged one day ring. Its been sitting in its box locked away. Every now and then I take it out n wear it and look at it. I would like to wear it but at the same time I dont. Link to comment
Daddy Bear Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I'd have thrown mine away, but I found someone who wanted to trade me a bag of weed for it. True story. Link to comment
msblueeyzz Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I think it all depends on how you feel about it. If it is dragging you down to keep/wear it, it may be best if you don't keep it at all. I just find it should depend upon how you feel about it. Link to comment
Mythical_Suicide Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I'd have thrown mine away, but I found someone who wanted to trade me a bag of weed for it. True story. sounds like a good trade to me, LOL Link to comment
BeStrongBeHappy Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Took the diamond out of the ring and had it made into a pendant. Wedding ring itself is around somewhere... don't really think about it at all, just thrown in with the other jewelry somewhere... the rings are much more symbolic when newly separated, but after a while they are like really old pictures where you've lost the emotion and say to yourself, oh yeah, i remember that... but doesn't affect you much.

amure Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 i still wear my braclet... theres nothing engraved but i dont care lol i wore it for 4 months without taking it off, im not stopping now Link to comment
Andy_2007 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 we were never engaged, but she gave me a ring once that i put on a chain and promptly complete forgot to wear. where it is no, i have absolutely no idea whatsoever Link to comment

I have to agree with BSBH about the rings... I have both my engagement ring and my wedding band in my jewelry box. I would never ever be able to wear them again. To me, they are nothing more than symbols of broken promises. I don't even like to look at them. ~Allie Link to comment
Dako Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Ground it into dust and blew it into the wind. Took 2 years for the finger groove to fade. Link to comment
GizMo567 Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 debaser - we broke up for a ton of reasons but basically she found someone else..Grr..Still a little mad but i did write a post about it. I think it was titled I'm sorry this happened.. I would have thrown it away or off a cliff but every time i want to i couldn't bring myself to do it. It feels comfortable with me and near me. I guess it's my way of holding onto our love as it was a promise that we would be together forever. *sigh* I sound like a girl. lol Link to comment
sunflower_girl Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I donated the ring to charity. I didn't want to keep it (too many negative memories)...feeding the poor was a much better purpose! Link to comment
1guygirl Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 his wedding ring is in the river outside my flat, my wedding ring went to the 'energy from waste' plant where it will have melted and lit a bulb somewhere in hartlepool, for a good 20 minutes. maybe someone else can see the light aswell i did.

CreoUCLA Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 After receiving mine back from my ex with an accompanying greeting card (no less) saying how she "never stopped loving me, but our love changed..." I proceeded to laugh and then toss both into the garbage can. -Mike- Link to comment
surfjon Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Well, we bought mine out of a pawnshop because it was very unique. The day she told me there was no hope, no desire for her to even try to reconcile, was the day I took it off. I know where it is, but I don't look at it except for when I want a hard reminder of how she simply walked after 20 years. I also still have the big sun tattoo on my back that I drew and had custom done with her name done in the middle of it in this beautiful scroll lettering. It was the first one I had gotten, sometimes I look at it in the mirror to remind me of the fact that everything ends and not to get attached again. Sometimes I feel like I want to get her name covered over, but then maybe I'll have "Nothing Lasts" tatted just below it to remind me to never get involved again. I'm better off now alone. I did like the response of pawning it and buying beer though...... Link to comment
drewciouS281 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 hold onto it but put it away in a box or something. Link to comment
SadOldMan Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I threw mine in a skip and had a silver one made to measure to replace them. Link to comment
metrogirl Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Mine wasn't an engagement ring, just a beautiful 2 carat sapphire ring that he gave me for my birthday one year. In a heated argument I tossed it at him ending our relationship. Several months later we decided to give it another try, he put the ring on my finger. Things were going really well and I wore the ring with much pride, we even talked about the possibility of marriage, he wanted me to start looking for my dream engagement ring. He started acting out again and I just gave it back to him and I have decided that I don't want that ring or any other ring from him right now. Link to comment
