What do you do with the ring?

I've just divorced my husband of 3 years, together for 7 and it's pretty hard still. He cheated on me and moved out over a year ago. he is VERY sorry and we're trying to be friends. The divorce has been final for less than a week, what do i do with the ring? Do I keep it as a beautiful reminder of something gone terribly wrong? It's so special to me and reminds me of how much he cared for and listened to ME, But then in the end he still went with anther girl so i guess he didn't keep his very sweet and personal promise.

Keep it in a drawer.

pawn it, spend the money on a new outfit for yourself. He turned out to be a lying cheater and your vows/ring meant nothing to him.

Put it away for a while, then decide. You might want to get it remade, or wear it, or sell it. But do nothing in haste, because you're hurting.

Assuming the ring is not an heirloom of any kind, I say sell it! Why hang on to a symbol of something painful? Do you really want to pass this ring down to your children with all that is attached to it?

Do something nice for yourself with some of the money and put the rest in savings.

i agree ..hock it and buy yourself something nice.something that says im starting out fresh and im going to be happy

Bury your ring for awhile if it is sentimental to you, everyone has their own ways of dealing with that kind of grievience. If you hang onto something that is no longer there then the issue is that since he had moved on and you are still hanging onto something that is no longer there emotionally for you. I feel for you, I do, you don't deserve a man that cheats and has affairs.

You are beautiful in your own way, and you deserve something better in life than a man that is not a man true to his word of love and compassion for you and for you only.

i gave mine back to him. i dont like keeping reminders of the past when its bad and painful.

If you had children together, keep it for giving to them one day.

M : (

sorry for a sad time for you,find a way to move on,maybe selling the ring for £/$ for a deposit on a new house/car will help.

I am very sorry what you are going through right now. It is a very hard thing I am sure. I believe that you should just either give the ring back to him or do away with it however you are comfortable. It seems that you are deeply attached to the marriage itself, but as you said he did not keep his promise to stay faithful so all of those emotions will do you no good in the end. If anything, they will only continue to remind you of what you had to go through. Good luck to you!

How ridiculous are you?

Is the ring only a beautiful reminder because it's a diamond? How can you be friends with a man who betrayed you and stood before GOD and promised to love and take care of you until the day you died? I know what your going through, I was married 13 years, cheated on constantly and I gave birth to his 4 children. I'm not concerned about you keeping the ring as trying to be friends with someone who would stab you in the back, walk out on you, and then come back and expect to be friends. Look, sell the ring and use the money to take a cruise, buy a new wardrobe, or invest in yourself by going back to school. But I'd rather invest in ENRON stock then consider your ex-husband your friend.
Good Luck!

You can save it and wear it on you opposite hand, you can have the stones reset into a beautiful custom made ring. You could have the gold melted down and insert the stones for a 'slide' on your necklace, you can take it to a 'pawn shop' and or consignment shop and sell it or....return it to him and let him give it to his next fiance. There are many options but the final choice is yours. Good Luck

Do not pawn it. You will get less than a quarter of it's value. Have the stones reset into a necklace, different ring, earrings, bracelet or broach. Keep it to hand down to your children


Pony dude's girl
It sounds like you don't have kids so you wouldn't save it for them. It also sounds like you still love him.... if you think you would every get back together then keep it... if that is not an option put it away where you don't look at it and make a decision when all your feelings are not so close to the surface. It's too soon to make big decisions. It will be good for you to take it off and get used to a "bare" hand... that will make you strong inside. Been there.... done that.


always-smile
i am sorry for the terrible thing your husband did to you. Nevertheless, it's time for you to move on. Make that into necklace/pendent.....so that everytime you see it around your neck....you feel strong. Strong for moving on with your life the way you wanted it to be. GoodLuck

It may be hard to get rid of it, so try not wearing it for a week or two before you actually let it go. If you have kids, you can put it in a box somewhere and save it for them, or you could return it to your ex. You could sell it and then go on a "newly divorced" shopping spree! Buy things that'll comfort you and make you feel better, or things that'll help you (the NEW you) start over again. That way not all is lost.
I do recommend not saving the ring. It'll help you move on quicker if you don't have that on your finger or even the temptation to pull it out of a box and look at it and remember.

If you have any children i would save it and give it to one of them .Or just keep it tucked away it won't always hurt to look at it .You fined someone to love and trust again you will be able to look at that ring and thank god you found out what kind of person he was be fore you wasted anymore time with him.

find ur self a better, more respectable man!


Bryer B
it depends on how the ring makes u feel. its a constant reminder of the terrible end or an beautiful reminder of what u had together?

Pawn it go shopping w the $$
or toss it in the sea
it really is a very personal decision that only u can make the right choice..

good luck!
u'll find someone who truly deserves u!

I sold mine for twenty dollars.
I know it sounds stupid but I wanted to erase that memory as soon as possible, to each his own.
