Would You Memorialize Your Divorce with a Ring?

In the beginning of our relationship there are rings. The engagement ring, and the wedding ring are important symbols of marriage to couples in our culture. Now many women are buying divorce rings to commemorate the end of their relationship.

The divorce ring is a silver ring with a split down the back, symbolizing the break in the relationship. On the side are three gold bands. One for the year you met, one for the year you wed, and one for the year of the end. Some women are even having the divorce year engraved inside the band.

Were women wear it is still not part of the tradition yet, but a large number of wearers seem to prefer the middle finger for obvious reasons.

MyUnwife wears one. She bought it shortly after she decided to leave. It's not the "traditional" divorce ring, it's just a ring. She wears it on her right ring finger. She showed it to me. She didn't announce that that's why she bought it, but it's revelation showed me a pattern. She has a ring for each of her divorces. I could add some bitter comment about heads on pikes not being as fashionable, but I won't. ;)

I think that those who choose to wear one wear it not as a reminder of loss, but as a badge of survival. Like a warrior who shows you his scars, the ring says "FY! I'm stronger than the worst you can throw at me." I won't wear a ring, but I get to keep the scars. That's all I need.

I will not wear a divorce ring. I want no reminder of the mistreatment I got from anyone.

ugh - If I ever got divorced I wouldn't want to wear the memory of it on my finger. I think that makes it harder to move forward.

What if a person you wanted to date asks you about the ring, do you really want to look like you can't let go? I'd wonder why the constant reminder...
