did you lose yours?

I almost never wear my ring - and have lost one (found it) - I also have a bunch (long story)

i would feel bad

it would upset me a lot, actually. I get weird and edgy all day if I forget to put it back on after my shower and go to work without it.

I was asking because I have a ring, not my wedding ring, that the last two times I have gotten it cleaned as stone has come out.

It got me thinking of how upset I would be if that happened to my wedding ring and the stones in it.

I would feel bad, but for my birthday this year I have asked my husband for a new wedding band to go with my grandmother's ring. I love it!

johnessdack: That has happened to me as well. There is just something sacred about a wedding ring.

SDSherry: so you are still keeping the original-just adding to it?

I have done it twice...both in the ocean.

OH NO! No chance in finding them.

probably as bad as I would feel if I were to have lost my state championship ring.

I would be elated, as that would mean that I have a husband!!

lorih: I have a feeling you might have one coming at some point......

I like the sound of that!

mine was burning a hole on my finger, so I took it off...can someone lose it *for* me (sorry, going through divorce!)

YOU DIDN'T?

What have you done with wedding rings after a divorce? Not having been through that I don't know the protocol.

KimberlyW: LOL guess I got that question answered

the stone and prongs fell off my original ring, and DH said he would get fixed ... that was about 10 yrs ago.

I bought a new one to wear, but don't like it as much - no center stone - which I consider symbolic

lkar: So you are still waiting for it to get fixed?

tomorrow is my 20th wedding anniv ... do you think I'll get a new ring?! (I doubt it, but have my fingers crossed.)

well, sort of

I'm hopeful

but, realistic

I wonder if it would bother him if I wore a different ring on that finger? It would bother me, so I don't.

It would bother me too. People look at ring fingers often so it seems important.

jaimeh: mine is sitting in my nightstand....can't figure out what do to with it...

lkar gets a new wedding ring!

KimberlyW: Do you have a daughter give it to when she is older?

jaimeh: do I want to curse her with the ring???

bad ju-ju is all over that ring!!! ...hope my daughter meets a prince not a toad!

jaimeh: once the divorce is final I will probably pawn it...or sell it on ebay...it's worth some money...

KimberlyW I still have my ring and my boys have expressed interest in having it when they are older. Divorced as well.

My ex is keeping her ring for my daughter. Neither of us wants our rings anymore but the kids seem to.

Lost mine for a year once - found it in a pocket. Lost it again about a year ago. Haven't found it yet. Doh!

I am going to keep the original set, but I think I will wear the new one more often. I love this antique ring.

Do you think how much you value reflects how much you value the marriage?

I lost the diamond out of my wedding ring last year on a field trip. I had it replaced, but the stone is not as big.

My hubby said, "it is just a diamond" HA! I won't let him forget that!!

the ring isn't as important as my love for my wife. And there's no chance for me to lose that! I wear my ring on my dog tag chain now.

Years of rock climbing make it hard to get over my knuckle now.

it would be upsetting, and would consume my every moment!

my dad lost his at the age of 70. It really bothered him for a long time, but didn't want a new one!

would be way unhappy: in order to lose the ring the finger would have to come off

I don't think I'd want to pass along a ring from a failed marriage to children ... especially if they want to use it for wedding band.

that doesn't seem right. I agree with KimberlyW ... bad ju-ju

On the flip side it might be a constant reminder to the children in a good way and to not enter into marriage lightly.

true enough. But would you want to be the recipient?

I might use it to create my own. My situation is different because I became best friends with my husband's ex.

I'm having all my rings, ex...late....grandma's melted down and remade...eventually

right now my rings are on a chain with my late husband's around my neck
