Wedding ring

I don’t think there’s a single “right” point. it really depends on comfort and lifestyle. Some people switch to a silicone band for daily use or only wear the main ring on special occasions which works well too. If durability and everyday wear matter, brands like Thorum have some solid options designed for that kind of flexibility.

About 7 years before - she never wore hers because her mom one-upped me

Numerous_Rush5227 · 2026-04-19T13:51:12+00:00

I sold mine for its full gold value off Facebook marketplace within a week after she called from her parents. She decided a week of separation and sobriety from her alcoholism was a okay to make a life decision. So, I knew within a week to not waste my time/life with someone who doesn’t have her shit together.

She took her’s off before even asking for the divorce. I took mine off the day she asked. I consider my divorce date the day she asked for a divorce, not the day I became legally divorced.

Day 1. She made a decision herself for the both of us. Was adamant she didn’t want to work on anything and was done. No reason to wear it after that. I had her sign the lease release and left a day later on a Saturday morning.

The second I found out she had spent the past 10 years cheating on me. 8 years later and we're still not divorced.

Drag0n_N3rd · 2026-04-18T12:42:13+00:00

I waited until I was able to accept that it was over. Was almost 2 months into the seperation. Put it on a shelf so I wouldn't lose it. Not really sure what to do with it now, honestly.

Once divorce is final. It’s being sold and the money is going to be used for a trip.

Gattsama · 2026-04-18T07:16:17+00:00

She took her ring off, told me to leave, and I left. Once out of the house I had never been more peaceful and stress-free. I took my ring off about 1 week later, but wore it on a chain around my neck. Much back and forth from there, I ultimately said we should terminate and took it week 2 of the separation. She talked me into on more try, and then about 4 months later I filed for divorce.

Ultimately through the ring out the window of a plane (over an unpopulated mountain)

At the point of separation living apart as it is meaningless

The moment she said she was moving forward with a divorce.

Dramatic_Taro5846 · 2026-04-18T02:45:10+00:00

Took it off after it was final. Sold for scrap 2 months later and bought a Glock.

The say I served her the papers!

Plotnikov34 · 2026-04-18T02:05:00+00:00

I stopped wearing my wedding ring during my first year of marriage when it almost degloved me. It's still in my wallet, a little bent from where the machine caught it, and the scar is still on my finger and will be for life. I'm kind of wondering if I should get it repaired now. I took my marriage seriously and never abandoned my vows even when her treatment of me became very hard to bear. It's a beautiful silver ring with Gaelic traditional designs.

Paddle_Pedal_Puddle · 2026-04-18T00:39:27+00:00

The day I found out about her affair.

That1TimeN99 · 2026-04-17T23:18:44+00:00

Mine is some drawer. Don’t even think about it. And it’s a pretty coop ring.

JayRock1970 · 2026-04-17T23:13:24+00:00

I stopped wearing it the moment she walked out the door. Haven't looked at it since. Question is, what do I do with it now?

IrresponsibleInsect · 2026-04-17T22:57:04+00:00

The kids cheered when I took mine off the day after filing. I actually have theirs because they pawned it years ago and I bought it back. I use it for witchcraft.

leftoverlembas · 2026-04-17T22:51:40+00:00

We had already decided it was the logical path forward. Told close relatives, told the kids. I was making meatballs one Sunday and took it off because raw meat. Just didn’t feel right putting it back on…we haven’t even started the official process yet.

Reflog1791 · 2026-04-17T22:13:03+00:00

Tossed it in the backyard when I was good and ready

rowman_nahledge · 2026-04-17T22:12:47+00:00

When she cheated on me.

Owww_My_Ovaries · 2026-04-17T22:08:37+00:00

On my way to the airport I chucked it out the window

Rockatello · 2026-04-17T21:52:00+00:00

When, after a whatsapp exchange she said "but we both know this is over"

Ok_Industry3016 · 2026-04-17T21:49:30+00:00

She gained weight and it wouldn't fit so I stopped too. Last few years of our marriage.
