dropdeded 0 #1 November 5, 2003 Ive got one tossed away in a drawer somewhere from a previous marriage. Looks like I may have another one to add to it. Just kinda wonderin what to do with it. What is one supposed to do with a wedding ring when a marriage ends? This seems like an easy question, you know, hock it, sell it, chuck it in the river. But if there is no hate or anger involved, I mean, whats the ettiquite here? Its not really some great symbol of failure, or love, its pretty much just a ring now,hmm? dropdeded------------------------------------------ The Dude Abides. - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jlmiracle 7 #2 November 5, 2003 Take out the diamonds and have it put in a nice closing pin for you or pawn it and use it for jump money. JudyBe kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightingale 0 #6 November 5, 2003 if you have any kids, save it for them. If you are on good terms with your ex, ask them if they would like it. Otherwise, keep it around for a few years... you don't want to get rid of it now and regret it later. you can always hock it later down the road.

usedtajump 1 #7 November 5, 2003 Thats funny, after 12 years, I still wonder that same thing everytime I open a certain desk drawer in my office room at home and see the ring box with both rings in it. The older I get the less I care who I piss off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skytrixaz 0 #12 November 5, 2003 Put the rings away for now...deal with the emotional closure of your current relationship. In a year or so...revisit the ring issue. I like Keith's idea. g Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgskydive 0 #13 November 5, 2003 My mom took mine and melted it down. Had it made into a charm for a braclet she has. Said it was her way of taking away my pain and know she carries it. My mom is sweet but strange!Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McDuck 0 #14 November 5, 2003 Trick some hapless fool into thinking it has been imbued with dark powers and let them cherish it forever in a dark cave somewhere. Or, you could keep it as a reminder of what you do and do not want in your future relationships.Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

Dagny 0 #15 November 5, 2003 My engagement ended in 1999 and I held onto the ring all that time feeling unsure what to do with it. Keep it until you know you can get rid of it without regret (as someone above stated). Now, here in 2003, I'm selling the ring because I want a rig more than anything and it will help me get there.

TheRus 0 #18 January 9, 2004 I kept mine to remind me of what I learned from the whole thing falling apart... It is no longer the symbol of what it was intended for, it is now a symbol of what I believed in and what I hoped for and what I hope to find for real someday. Still a very meaningful symbol for me, just changed in meaning slightly is all. Someday if my son wants it he can have it though. Just my opinion though... Yeah, it's fine, we'll walk down the line. Leave our rain, a cold trade for warm sunshine You my friend, I will defend... and if we change, well, I love you anyway Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydivingNurse 0 #19 January 9, 2004 Bummer, {Vibes} You must now journey to Mount Dhoom in the land of Mordor, only there can it be destroyed. In all seriousness, though, if there's no big emotional attachment to it, sell it for jump tickets or something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slug 1 #21 January 9, 2004 Had a friend was married four times used the same ring for ea bride and got married wearing the same suit ea time. BTW he was a skydiver and had been married so many times he had his marriage/divorce system down pat. No pooling of assets. His was his, hers was hers Beware: Won't work in a community property state R.I.P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
