Good job WP and SS

I have now lost over 40 lbs. on the LBS diet and so both the engagement ring & wedding ring are quite loose.  Despite what has occurred, I would be terribly upset were I to lose them.  My husband has not worn his for maybe six months now.  I can remember back in August when he told me the reason he took it off was because he no longer felt married (whatever THAT means) and what I wanted to respond with was, "That's precisely why a ring is good to have, so when you aren't 'feeling married' you can look at your hand, see that ring, remember the fact you ARE married, and then behave accordingly."  Truth is, if you're not "feeling married" you could have a ring on every finger and every toe, and it is not going to make you act married if you have decided that you don't want to be married.
Anyway, before I go off on a tangent I will say that I still wear my rings and I don't have plans to remove them.  Even if I did wonder of wonders I would still KNOW I AM MARRIED.

There was another wedding ring poll in an older thread. If it got closed, maybe we can link that thread to this one?

Ooops... sorry :/

I had a gorgeous 5 1/2 ct diamond ring that I had to sell when my H cut me off financially for 3 months. 
It was devastating to me and our son but I had no choice being he took all our money.

No worries Z.  We've been trying to clean the board up a bit recently and merge and/or link some of the repeat threads.  Hopefully it will get a bit easier to find things!

I took mine off day after BD #2, it is hidden away. H, is home now I considered putting it back on ... not sure yet. My h, keeps his on his key ring now. Real smart. Like you can't lose that??

My wife left in April 2010, by June she had stopped wearing her band. I took mine off in August 2010 and asked for hers back; she refused. I said that it was my symbol of love for the woman I married, that I would like it back and she could have mine back; she agreed. So we each have our rings back.

If she wants to come back, and asks me for her ring, it could be embarrassing, I flattened it with a hammer. If we ever did start again, everything would need to be new…..

I keep mine on and intend to keep it like that. H. never really wore a ring, or any kind of jewellery.
My wedding ring is not the original, that one broke early on in our marriage and I have had others over these years, one of which I bought myself. The one I am using was one we bought for our Silver wedding, it is half white gold and half yellow with a diamond chip in it.
I have another ring I use, that he gave me about 15 years ago, which means a lot to me, I never take it off, it has about 20 tiny chips and a center diamond in it - this one is really meaningful to me and it was given with a lot of feeling too

Never had one, so did not had to take if off.

Like Mitzpah I have a ring my husband gave me, years ago, that I still use. Not everyday, I did not used to wear it everyday. But when I want, I use it. Quite like it.
