When did you take off your rings?

[heywhat]

I took mine off a few months before filing for divorce. I was so angry and mad (I forget what specific instance) and I took them off and it felt good. I waffled back and forth with them after that, but I never put them back on after the day I told him I wanted a divorce.

I was already only wearing them part-time. Since swelling out of them through pregnancy and caring for a little one, I rarely wore the e-ring. I'm another that took off the band and never put it back on the day we agreed to split. I kept them for DD, but they hold zero meaning at this point.

I took mine off when it was too painful to wear or see anymore. At that point, it was easier to deal with the nosiebodies at work than be reminded that he walked out. It may was time for me to move on.

When it was decided that we're getting a divorce.

Because of my two pregnancies and working on a construction site a lot of the time in between the two, I hadn't worn them much in the last couple years of our marriage. They were just starting to fit again after losing the baby weight from my second baby when everything blew up and I never really wore them again. I put on my e ring from time to time because I love it and I am sad I can't wear it anymore. It meant something to me more than just a symbol of the marriage. It made me feel successful and grown up as dumb as that is.

Literally the day I decided it was over.

Yup. Which was probably at least 6-8 months before he moved out. I stopped wearing my rings a LONG time ago. I so miss wearing my rings. I still have them.

I still have mine too ... the e-ring I'm saving for dd since I was the one who picked it out bc it was the exact setting I fell in love w when I was 15 (had to wait countless bf and another 15 years before I got it) and spotted it in a deBeer's ad in Rolling Stone magazine.
