OT: RINGS?
Hi ya'll...
What is your experience/opinion on removing engagement/wedding rings.
If having relationship/marriage problems...when does one stop wearing the ring? A really, really bad argument? Separation? Final Divorce?
If your partner stops wearing their ring...what message is being sent?
If one partner removes their ring first...should they then be upset if the other person in turn removes theirs in response???
Just curious for opinions and experiences...
THANKS...

I can't wait to see everyone's responses.
To answer your question from my experience, I removed my ring when I realized that my marriage was beyond repair. We were still living in the same house but in separate rooms. I believe if your partner stop wearing his/her ring IMO the message being sent is the person may possibly want out of the marriage and may possibly want others to think they are available. I don't think the partner should be upset if the other person in turn remove theirs especially if there are underlying issues. If the couple wants to save their marriage then I would suggest they work on it by both being 100% prepared to make it work and if not MOVE ON.

People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown

Hmmm....I would hope that if I were married my husband wouldn't remove his ring over an argument. If there is a seperation and you both know it is leading to divorce I guess I can understand that. Otherwise to me it comes across the importance of marriage, and the ring symbolizing the union is not as important to the other person as it is to me.
Hi,,
My story is a little different, I didn't want the wedding band,, only because my engagement ring was awesome all by it's self. Had my surgery and had lost about 70 pounds right away,, so I was treated to a week in Vegas,, Dipping my hand in and out of that frigging bucket of coins,, my ring fell off somewhere. I was totally depressed for the rest of the trip. Got home and told hubby and he said "gee,, that's too bad". He absolutely "refuses" to buy me another one like the one I had.,, he's offered others,, but I won't take them. So,, I don't wear any rings, but he still wears his.
