When did you stop wearing your wedding rings?

[Mrs.Rad888]

Slightly different situation, in that I initiated the divorce, and I was on a deployment, but I actually stopped wearing them as soon as I left on my deployment. When XH#1 and I split up, I stopped wearing them as soon as he moved out.

[bl]

I stopped wearing mine right around the time that he moved out which was 3 months after the initial we should split convo. He had been wearing his on his thumb for about 6 months because he lost a significant amount of weight and it no longer fit his ring finger, and was still actively losing so we weren't going to get it sized until he was done.

I took mine off 24 hours after I left him and that's only becaue my fingers had swelled up and I couldn't get it off.

A few months before I decided I was done with the relationship. I stopped wearing mine because I was working out and losing weight and they kept falling off.

[LoveBug]

I wore mine sporadically (only while out, never at home) during our initial separation but once I knew I was done, I gave them to my mom to hold for me.

[sessy]

I was kickboxing regularly at the time so I often didn't wear it. Our home was robbed 2 months after our separation and it was stolen. Decision made for me

[glynn]

He told me he wanted a divorce 5/5 and I noticed the 1st part of June he did not have his one. I hand gained a lot of weight while married but was actively trying to lose. So as soon as I could get them off end of July maybe. I had bad tan lines so I put another ring on that finger from my right hand. I also found his ring and wear it on my thumb. He never has mentioned it. Mom asked me last week were I got the ring and I told her it was his so I kept it so he could not put it back on.

I took mine off as soon as he told me he didn't want to be married to me anymore.

I stopped wearing it the day I moved. I gave them back to him as the engagement stone was a family stone for him and didn't feel like keeping/selling it.

[1confused1]

I can't remember 

I'm only posting to let you know that, while it seems like a big deal now, when you get a little further down the road, it won't matter.

[glitzyglow]

I think I wore it off and on depending on the situation I was going to be. I never wore it again after I filed for divorce.

[blanca]

As soon as we decided to separate I took them off. We were still living under the same roof in separate rooms.

The day I found out he was having an affair, I told him I wanted a divorce. I don't think I ever put my rings back on after that.

I took them off the day I found out that fucker was cheating.

[flatlan]

He asked for my ring back the day I told him I wanted a divorce. I gave it back and we should be finalized in about 3 weeks.

[cuddlyevil]

I stopped wearing it when I made my decision. I wore it at home because we waited to tell the kids. But it was off for good when the kids knew.

100% ditto

[sweetchix]

I actually stopped wearing mine 3 years before I filed. I was pg with DD2 and my fingers swelled so I took them off. They never seemed to fit right afterwards so I stopped wearing them. I debated getting them resized but I thought it could be incentive for losing the weight. That never happened

[winecat]

I took them off when I caught him cheating.

[pinkdutchtulips]

i took mine off the day i left.

they were replaced by an xoxo ring i loved to keep guys away. i wore it for about a year until i was comfortable with the idea of dating again. i took it off and never put it back on.

[lemons]

Mine is a little different but I took them off at 3 months. I guess many widows wear them for a year but it was awkward at work when people would comment on my ring. I recently joined a new team.

[Serenity9]

We separated in February and I asked for a divorce in April. It was at some time during those 2 months, but I don't remember when. I do remember that I had stopped wearing them regularly, but I made sure to put them back on to go to couples' therapy.

I still didn't quite feel "single," so I bought myself a ring and wore it on that finger for a while. I still wear that ring I bought myself on my right hand every day as a reminder of my promise to myself that I'll never let anyone treat me so horribly again.

[somersault72]

I wore mine for awhile, possibly until our divorce hearing (it's been almost 5 years so I can't remember). I was completely blindsided when he said he didn't want to be married anymore, and it took me months to be able to talk about it without crying, so for me rings = no questions = less crying in public.

[greysgirl]

When things started getting really bad and I made the decision to leave him I stopped wearing my rings.

[wampuscat]

Obviously this is a completely different scenario, but I took mine off the night I had him arrested because he broke my middle finger so badly that I thought my ring finger would swell and they'd get stuck on there.

[Linie]

I'm still wearing mine (always on my right hand). I left the house in July 2014 and we are to start the divorce soon.

It's a really beautiful ring but I have never felt "married" because of it. I have no engagement ring.

[closertofine]

The day I told him I want a divorce.

[tevagirl]

I always took mine off at night, to shower, etc. XH told me first thing in the morning that he was filing for divorce and I never put them back on. I gave them to my mom that night.
