Question

Vinnygraphix · Accepted Answer

I would wear my wedding band even if she passed away to remember her and keep it just because my wife if i had one. Most important you can never forget the person who made who u are and thats that

If I was married and they passed away I’d keep it on as it’s part of them, I’d never take it off and chuck it in a draw or sell it I’d just wear it, it’s not like I’d ever want to marry again.

Rosexøxø · Answer

If he was the guy of my dreams, and we were that pair- that ride or die, I’d leave it on and die with it, ofc.

At that point, it would be a trophy 🏆 and sentimental reminder of the great, one-of-a-kind/ once-in-a-lifetime

person I was lucky, I had found.

AviatorTom · Answer

I would, yes, at least initially. If I met someone and started a relationship, it would most likely come off.

UmbrusNightshade · Answer

I am not married but hope to be one day. I have a really hard time connecting with women in a romantic way (I can make friends with them all day long) so if I found one who accepted me for who I am, loved me and let me love her back, I’d be ecstatic.

I honestly feel that if I find her, she’s gonna be the one and only for me, especially if we have children, so I would continue to wear the ring and unless a miracle brought a second wife to me as amazing as the first I’d likely never date again.

catiecatie · Answer

Depends on my age. If I was young yes for awhile, but if I was in my 60-70s then I’d wear it all the time. I wouldn’t want to try and get back out there and plus if I was that old we wouldn’t get married. My grandpa has been gone for over 10 years and my grandma still wears her wedding ring.

Bricealan · Answer

Not death, but divorce, just about the same for me, I wore my wedding band for MONTHS afterward. I went for a job interview with the Riverside, PD, and the interviewing Lieutenant, asked me why I was still wearing a wedding band, after he noted on my application that I was divorced? I told him I felt 'naked" without my wedding band on, and that being single again was a frightening, alone experience.
'He told me that bad things happen with the PD too, and I would have to learn to "Move On' from that too, and I should 'move on" with my life sans divorce. It was probably one of the most difficult things that I had to do. and That was 20 years ago (I was 22) and I STILL keep the wedding band.

Until I was done mourning. And who knows how long that will be. Death is inevitable. And one things for certain when a person dies a part of you dies with them. But at some point you realize you have to keep living. I remember when my sister died relatively young. Not long afterwards my mother told my brother-in-law, "I know you don't want to remarry but you're a good guy, and it's unlikely you won't meet another good woman one day". We all thought she was poorly timed saying this so soon after my sister's death. But my sister had battled a life long illness. That my brother in law had endured along with her. He was loving, loyal guy. And my mom was just letting him know that we loved him and would always love him as part of our family. But he has a lot of years. To live, and still love.

libsaretards · Answer

Absolutely. If I ever get married, it will only happen once. To get me to propose means you really are special to me and we have taken time to develop history. I am mad loyal to those I love. That is even just getting to the wedding.

If we have a lengthy marriage and we make it to "death do us part", then odds are I am not going to ever get over our love. Even in the event of a divorce I would likely not remarry.

Gent207-2 · Answer

Honestly I'd get the tattoo of my promise to her.

She is my "forever" and I am her "always". Always faithful, always true forever and ever -I do.

Hence my intention to have my ashes turning a diamond so I can be by her heart forever.

Finchie40 · Answer

Yea I don’t think I could take it off for very a long time , probably never if she was the love of my life , I wouldn’t even consider being in a relationship with someone else , so yes I would still wear it , if I ever got to a point where I wanted to meet someone else then I guess I would take it off out of respect for the new girl, Hard question to answer , definitely a question I would of asked her when she was still alive to see what she would want me to do if that ever occurred

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

I’m not married and i never will. If western civilization suddenly turned inside out and marriage wasn’t a loser’s bet for men, and i DID marry…. I would definitely only do it once. “‘Til death do us part.” means something. I would keep my wedding ring until i died and i would wear it whenever it wasn’t dangerous to do so.

xJeremyx · Answer

I'll put her ring on a chain, turning it into a necklace I can wear. Maybe I'll get the goldsmith or jeweller to melt down my ring and use that as the chain.

I cannot say for sure if I will find another woman if that happens, but I would want to keep our memories at least.

xoxosilentgirl · Answer

yes, im not sure will i get married or not but if i do, im going to do it once in a lifetime. And if he pass away, i’ll always refer him as my husband.

Ms_Facesitter · Answer

I probably would... or I would be trying to look for someone like him which I wouldn't find trying to fill a hole that can't be filled while i could just live on knowing our time got cut short together 🥺

abc3643 · Answer

If I was younger, I still would.
However, I am older now and both my wife and I have decided we just don't want to wear rings... After all, we've been married 21.5 years now and my ring is just a little tighter than it was back in 2001.

sheenagwapa · Answer

KittyKat90210 · Answer

I would keep wearing mine until I got into another relationship. I might wear it on my other hand though.

weysally · Answer

midnightmoon05 · Answer

I like quality jewelry. So I do continue to wear my rings and stuff. After my divorce.  after death , yes

jamesgoldman · Answer

Maybe, at least for a while then probably have both melted and recast into a meaningful piece in tribute

Jaximus-Lion · Answer

Nope. I don't even wear mine and my wife is very alive. I wore mine like about 200+ times, maybe more. I have had the ring since 2012 🤷‍♂️

LivingExample · Answer

Yes! At that point you are considered a widower or widow. Getting into a Serious Relationship would be the time to remove it!!

Tomisworthless · Answer

Getting married and having children would be nice one day I’ve never dated and I’m worried that if I did I would just get used and cheated on and I’m even further troubled that my wife would do this in marriage

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Answer

I would, because I am a very loyal person.

4ngelic · Answer

abbyjgriffin98 · Answer

Yes, unless I got married to another person.

jshm2 · Answer

I don't wear a wedding band regardless. Not a fan of it.

RavVid · Answer

It would seem that you were consigning her to the dust bin in my view

CubaPirate · Answer

I'd rather not cross that bridge till I come to it

clampfan101 · Answer

I assume so. I still have a picture of my first girlfriend who passed away. 😥

Minahh · Answer

Though question, but I think I would. I'm just that type of wuthering heights girl. Love beyond the grave.

straightmax12 · Answer

If she passed away I wouldn't continue to wear it because she passed away and at that moment, the marriage is done and there's no use for wearing it anymore.

ryancg · Answer

Probably. I'd like to be the "Chad" guy or whatever, but I doubt I'd ever move on.

Pudsmucker · Answer

If I lost my wife no it puts me back into the market.

NostalgiaSenpi · Answer

That would ultimately depend on how long I'm in mourning.

legalboxers · Answer

I would. my heart would still belong to them

Guy13 · Answer
