Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
No matter what anyone says..stay true to yourself. be honest with your feelings. No matter how things work out..you will be able to look back and know that you did what was right for you.
If you believe there is a glimmer of hope, then I would suggest that you keep it on. IMO, taking it off would be telling her that you don't consider yourself married, even if it's a failing marriage.
For those two years, I left the ring in the coin tray of my van. I finally decided to try and sell it. First I had it cleaned up at the local jeweller (for free). Then I called around to see if any jewellers bought used wedding bands. No. They could melt it and build it into something else, but that would not remove the meaning of it for me. Plus I did not want to spend more money on it. Imagine, making something to give to my kids, and knowing from whence it came.
To get cash, the local jewellers suggested a pawn shop. Well, that follow-up call was a joke. I might have received $30 for it. I said no thanks.
I finally ran an ad in the local paper. No bites. Finally, I remembered previously coming across a free classified site (kijiji) and posted it there with a couple of photos.
I received an e-mail of interest that afternoon, and that Saturday morning a woman came to pick up from me for $150 I think it was. Went straight to my credit card debt.
Interestingly enough, just minutes after selling it, I saw the stbx, while the kids were at their swimming lessons.
Anyway, sorry for the long story.
Use it for a sinker at the end of your fishing pole.....and your Hope could be that you get a snag.
