When you put a ring on your partners finger what did it mean to you?

For those who have divorced, what did you do with the rings?

I never took my wedding ring off, my wife took hers off when going in the bath only.

We separated years ago and I still have it

For me, it was a gift I could give him that we would be together forever unfortunately that wasn't the case but I meant it at the time, I just didn't expect it to change.

I kept my engagement and wedding ring incase my daughter wanted it. She knows I have them and they are hers if she wants them but she's a bit young at the moment so I'm keeping them safe until she's older. My ex husbands ring was supposed to go to our son but he's lost it apparently

Not a wedding ring. But an engagement ring. I thought it was a token to show love and commitment. Frankly a very sore subject.

Thanks, great replies! For me I gave mine as a symbol of giving myself whole-heartedly with a promise to love, honour and protect her. I sent her my ring back and if I'm honest I want her wedding ring back from her as I feel she no longer deserves it, and that promise is now null and void.

I felt similar in terms of what it meant at the time.

I still have mine and he still has his. He tried to give it back to me at one point but I refused to take it. He broke the vows and caused untold pain but taking it back would have been just another reminder for me at the time, and I used to hope he would look at it and be reminded of the pain his actions caused.

Now, I don’t care. I’ve let go of that part of my life (though took a long time) so although I still have my ring, it doesn’t mean anything to me anymore.

I don’t have and have never had a wedding ring as I don’t like wearing any type of jewelry and Carol lost hers years ago so we are both naked in the ring department but luckily we don’t need symbols to show we belong.

I thought it meant forever. Ha!

I sold it to a jeweller about 6yrs after we divorced and bought a beautiful opal ring with the proceeds.

I think I've still got them all somewhere.

When my husband and I exchanged rings it was a sign of us joining our lives, a promise of support, friendship and a small tiny fragment of our love for all the world to see. Every time I look at my left hand I think of him and that makes me so happy.

Isn't that a bit petty?

When my first wife cheated on me i took off my ring and stood on it to squash it then gave her it back. I walked out of the house and have never seen or spoken to her again. I started divorce proceedings and left the UK for a few years.

I have never been married or engaged but me and my ex have matching tattoos on our little fingers, mine on my right hand and hers on her left hand as thats how we used to hold hands. The tattoo is a red line around the finger with a bow on the top. It was to symbolise the red string of fate that brought us together.

I'd never have it removed nor would she. It meant,and still does, mean a lot to both of us. We connected at another level. Some things aren't meant to last.

I only wore it for a couple of weeks as it wasn't compatible with my work back then. She sold it for scrap gold...didn't even ask me..

Mr speaking.

It has changed for me over the years. I blubbed like an emotional wreck calling out my wedding vows.

10 years later I nearly had a panic attack when I lost it on a cold winter's day. (Found it under the kids swing an hour later).

Now we are swinging, it is not that its significance has taken lesser prominence, but that what my wife and I 'feel' for one another is greater?
