After Divorce, Whither The Ring?

Ah the infamouse wedding rings... what to do when there is a divorce... since the rings (both husband and wifs) were supposedly given as a sign of their love i feel the rrings should be given to the person that gave them to begin with when there is a divorce... no matter who is at fault... they have no meaning and the karma associated with them is such that the initiated owner should deal with it.. the recipient owner if getting some sort of benefit after the divorce from the rings will have a karma placed on them just not worth the grief.... i also feel the initiator of the rings can use them at will... and if that means giving to the next loed one then so be it.... the rings are a sign of love an when that love is transfered to someone else then the rings can go right along with it...

this may sound cold but the darn things cost that re-using them only sounds right.... the old saying about one mans junk could be another mans treasure... well the same hholds true with giving up a spouse that someone else would treasure... and the rings right along with it... should not be taken personal...

So i just anted to know what is the difference between boyfriend and girlfriend and marriage and besides, i am a lesbian and i just wanted to know what was the difference because my girlfriend asked me to marry her and i feel like it is a huge step to take and i know it comes with a whole lot of responsibilities so can someone please help me out with that..

After a divorce its that persons choice what to do with their wedding rings. I am divorce and my engagement ring and wedding band are in a drawer. I almost forgot I had it. LOL I think I will get it melted down have a diamond bendant made out of it. I don't think it has bad luck or anything. It was given in love and right now for me it has no meaning other than jewelry.

It took me awhile to look at my rings as only jewelry but I do now.

I think it should be her choice. I also like the way the womans confident husband is sounding and he's not threaten by his wifes old wedding rings. He probably feels he is the lucky one to have her and jewelry is just jewelry. He figures why not have some diamond earrings.

There is something sexy about a confident strong man. Dang does he have a brother? LOL

If the marriage or engagement ends, and the man didn't do anything wrong (ie cheat, steal, lie, abuse) the woman should return the ring to him. The ring or rings is a symbol (not a gift in my book) of a sacred vow that a couple commits to on ttheir wedding day. If they don't go through with it, or it ends that vow has been broken and the ring should be returned to the one who bought it.

There are many who believe the ring was a gift and the bride should keep it and do as she pleases. Others believe the engagement ring is not complete without the actual wedding band that accompanies it, and so it should be returned because it us part of a set.

I don't see any point in holding on to an engagement ring unless it will be made into a cocktail ring or earrings. But who gets the ring is up to the couple. If the guy takes the ring back, for God's sake, don't regift it to your next true love.

My finance just upgraded my ring two days ago.At first he gave me a 1/2ct,and for some reason he upgraded it to 1ct.The funniest thing about it,is that I didn't complain,but his mom did.At least that was his excuse for upgrading it.I don't think that I will be foolish to give it back if things don't work out.Hey!I am being honest.It is gorgeous!
His mom is a trip.She was the one who had a problem with the size,not me.He has alot of bills,and at the time I knew what he was working with,but hey what can I say?Besides he did admit to feeling guilty about giving me a 1/2ct ring.He thinks that I am very special and I deserve the best of everything.Is that sweet or what.Its not so much about the ring.A man can always buy you a fancy ring,but most men don't know how to express their love.I'm glad to have a man who truly loves me.
