Topic: Wedding Ring?

Is it common to keep wearing a wedding ring once you are on your own, and even possibly dating someone?

Should you ask he/she to remove it? Is it a case of them still grieving in some way or are they just trying to hang on to the past?


WHAT ARE YOUR FEELINGS ON THIS?


Dunno why someone would choose to do so, the only thing I can think of is that they're not ready yet for a new relationship and commitment.
I wouldn't date someone who's still wearing their wedding band.
I've been in a relationship where I always felt the ex partner was higher up on his list of priorities, I'll never go there again. It's too painful and just not fair to do that to a partner.
If you're not ready for a new commitment, just don't go there. Pretty naff thing to do to someone else

Very wise advice and I agree whole heartedly

i guess is it oke if u still wearing a wedding ring after your wife passed away,it means you respect her,and its such an honor for her. but after you decide to having a new relationship with another women,better you take it off.

IMHO, after the death of a spouse... because we all grieve differently... to wear your band until you are ready to 'move on' seems ok to me.
I have a beautiful 'engagement' ring, which, when I wear it now, I wear it on my right ring finger, as a dinner ring..
works for me.

I wore mine for years afterwards. The reason I wasn't dating and I didn't want to be bothered.
When I was I still wore it on my right hand for years.

I would never ask someone to remove their ring or rings. But I also know that if I saw a "ring" I wouldn't approach them for dating either.




A ring to me is an honored symbol and should be respected regardless of the reason it is worn.


I agree... I have my grandmothers engagement ring I wear it at times but not on my ring finger...

That would narrow your dating schedule

If I went out on a date with a man and he were wearing a ring on his ring finger, that would be our first and last date. It says to me that his heart is taken by another. Even if he is a widower, it says to me that he is not yet ready to begin again with someone new.

Or he/she cannot let go of the memory.

I do the same thing with my engagement ring.... I decided to remove my rings two years after my husband passed away... but it seemed such a shame never to wear it again, so I put it on my right hand sometimes...

Caught my wife cheating last week, so I went and sold all the wedding rings on Thursday. Screw her!
