Does anyone else miss their wedding ring?

Took a while to get used to it being gone. Despite not wearing it the evidence was there. The ring indentation and the light colored skin was a constant reminder of what was. Slowly the skin tanned and the indentation filled out, now it looks like my normal finger....it changed and so did I...and so shall you. Just takes time.

It does take a long time for it to become the new normal. I was married for 13 years and it probably took about 3 months to really not miss it. Sleeping through the night alone took closer to 6 months.

Well still not done divorce process but I took it off at beginning of year and it felt like I was taking off prison shackles. No joke. Every time I take note of it being gone I feel free. Just goes to show how long I tried to make it work even when it was costing me my sanity lol

Also saw comment about sleep. I slept like a damn baby once I was in the other room

I was only married for 3 years. Had mine off for 3 months now and it is still difficult. I used to fiddle with it while i drove or in stressful situations. I still reach for it witb my thumb every few days and automatically pause for a minute when i feel it isnt there. The isolation with COVID has really dialed me into the little things like that, that I didn't realize I would miss alot.

Do I ever, I use to rub it with my thumb whenever I would stress out over stuff at work. It was comforting to know what it meant and knowing she had my back.

Welllll after she asked for a divorce I threw it in the Ocean in a moment of anger. I regret that now.
