Wedding Ring for Donation  

Hello, Caliya.:-)

I know how heartbreaking this may sound to most of my respondents here. But don't be too sad about it. I am just giving it a new life. It is like a symbol for my getting a new life. My ring is valuable to me, in fact it is too precious for me and I wouldn't replace it with anything more valuable than it despite of its inexpensive value.

You made me smile with your suggestion. I can't sell it because it doesn't cost much really.:-)If it costs a thousand bucks I'll probably pawn it so if ever I'll change my mind I can easily redeem it.LOL

Seriously, no. I'd rather give it as what it is and for what it truly represents.

Hi, Loku.:-)

You have spoken to the sentimental person in me. No, I have no intention of degrading its sentimental value and what it represents. The receiver doesn't need to know its story, so I thought....

Several times, I tried to return it to him but he refused to accept it. It just saddens me to see the ring. It reminds me of the things I had been through with him, both the sweet and bitter ones.

Whether he misplaced it or deliberately lost it, it doesn't matter to me. The mere fact that it is lost means that he himself doesn't consider his ring worthy of his care because of what it represents.He didn't even bother to look for it.

Sorry Eureka if I hurt your sentiments! If it pains you wearing the wedding ring, sell it and offer the proceeds to some worthy needy instead of gifting it as a ring!
However, Keep Smiling!

It is ok, Loku.:-)

Your suggestion is quite a sound one , however, the ring doesn't cost much. It will not substantiate an amount enough for a charitable institution.:-)

Hello, Laniekins.:-)

No, our wedding rings don't bear our names. We didn't purchase a made to order ones. we just went to the mall and saw those rings and viola! he bought it.

We are still very much living under the same roof and still calling each other "Hon". We have been in a topsy turvy kind of relationship for years now and it seems that wearing the rings doesn't feel right anymore. What it represents then doesn't seem to exist now.

I am giving him a second chance and I am trying to be civil to him but I want to move on. Parting with my ring would free me from the memories of the painful past...

If it would make you feel better, it's up to you. But never forget that in every action there are consequences, whether good or bad you have to be ready for that.

It will make me feel better seeing my ring worn by a woman who is dearly loved by his husband despite of her flaws and imperfections. Something that I had wished for myself. Sigh....

I know the consequence and I'm ready for it...Or he would simply ignore it. Whatever, I can live with it now. :-)

Alright then go girl! Fight for women's right.

thank you for boosting my confidence, Laniekins.:-0

Skysuccess, what can I say? Though, you can't see me right now but let me tell you that you have touched me deeply. With those words, I couldn't help myself from crying...

How I wish, Skysuccess, that my husband do realizes this, too... How I wish...

Hi there, Chiyosan.:-)

Yes, I know. Mine is not a fairytale thing... I am sad to think of it, too. If I am to associate everything about my husband to that ring, the more I feel the need to give it up. Not because I hate him so much but because it is just painful to see that what we tried to build years ago is crumbling down little by little.

I am so aware that he is also having a difficlut time because of this kind of relationship that's why I am taking the first move to set him free. Besides, he let himself free from wearing the only symbolic thing we have that the marriage truly exist. I am giving up, maybe...

Hi Strawberrychocodahi.:-)

I feel sad thinking about it, too. Even if I am not materialistic and sentimental I will not give up the ownership of that ring . A wedding ring is something to be keep and considered as priceless.

I'm not sure if he just misplaced it or threw it somewhere, thus lost it. He would often take it off. Several times, I saw it scattered on the floor. Recently, he was asking our 3 year old daughter where she had put his ring. Of course, my girl wasn't able to give him an answer. The thing is, he did not even bother to look for it.

He will never buy himself a new wedding ring unless he will be marrying another woman. My ring does not cost him much, in fact it was a cheap silver wedding ring but I don't mind because it was my wedding ring.

Giving my ring to a couple who love each other truly will give me peace. If my union didn't work out, at least, the ring will have its happy ending. Crazy? Maybe....

It will surely break my hear to let go of that ring. I know part of me will go with it...

I am not wearing it anymore for almost a week now.I don't think I will ever wear it again. That ring was a symbol of an endless commitment. Now that my partner is not wearing his, I just don't see the reason why I should keep wearing mine. Don't you think it feels awkward especially when the relationship isn't strong enough and got so many issues about trust?

I maybe able to wear it again if my husband will have the sensitivity to look for his ring. He's not responsible enough to take care of our relationship and my trust, then, why should I expect him to be responsible enough in taking care of such a cheap wedding ring?

Alot of guys just do not have a romantic or sentimental bone in their bodies. IF by chance they do most of them will not admit it. I would maybe just not wear yours for awhile. But it in a safe place and see how you feel in a few weeks. SMILE!

My partner is a sentimental fool (yes, he wouldn't admit it) and hoard things like love letters and some other mushy stuff.

He was often taking his ring off his finger and just put it on top of the computer desk, our daughter was often picking it up and playing with it that several times he found it everywhere in our house. Still, he never learned his lesson or just simply doesn't care that the last time he took it off, it's lost forever. He did not bother to look for it that's why I'm thinking he had lost it on purpose...

Hello, Achilles.:-)

I must admit that I am unhappy because he lost it and that he did not even bother to look for it. You knew already the rest of my story, that ring was the only reminder that I had married someone that I had loved so much.

As a matter of fact, every time I want to give up on him, i just have look at my kids and the ring to give me a little strength to bear with him some more patiently.
I don't think both me and my husband would want to win each other back. Because if we do, we should have worked on it long time ago...

I've placed the ring in the box, though.

Between you, two one of you will have to take the first step. Here you are waiting for him to take the first step, and there he might be thinking the same thing. Since you have placed the ring in the box, you have taken the first step. Let us see now what he does. Until now, he was indifferent because he was very confident that you are secure within the boundaries of the ring he gave you. When he does not see the ring, this would shake his confidence. This is what I presume. Hope my presumption is right.

There were times in the past that I tried to return the ring to him but he refused to accept it. Thus, I've no choice but to wear it again since he is still wearing his and we're still together (and of course,the ring often gives me the nudge to give the relationship one more chance).

I don't think he is even bothered to see that I am no longer wearing his ring.This guy cares for nothing except himself and those he is interested with.

Hello, Naisan.:-)

The ring is a great part of me. This is the very first thing I received from him and of course, it was the symbol of my never ending loyalty and commitment to him and our life together. Not to mention the fact, that the ring mirrors how I used to love him so much...

I am resigned to the fact that our love story has come to a bittersweet ending.I will always remember the ring even if I am no longer wearing it. It was the only wedding ring I have worn, so how can I forget about it? I made a vow with it,too...

I tried to return the ring back to him months ago but he refused to accept it. I'm not worthy to keep on wearing it since he made me feel unworthy of him and the relationship, too.

Recently, he lost his ring and did not even bother to look for it as if he doesn't care if it is lost. It'd be more understandable if he just give his ring to me as well (I'll accept it), than treating it like a piece of garbage...

I believe that once it is done, it is done, so I have to stand and live with it.
