Saw My Wedding ring On My X Husbands New Girlfriend!Page 2 of 10    (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
Couple questions not asked. Was this ring a family heirloom? I could certainly see a guy reusing a ring if it had ties to his relatives or significance outside your marriage. As the marriage is over, the commitment the ring symbolizes is gone. It should not bother you that he recycled but it might bother his new girl. I would be more upset that he took it without your knowledge but thats the way divorces work. Both parties try to take what they can get without the other knowing. Nasty stuff. I did not think my wife deserved to keep the 5K ring so I had a copy made but instead of a diamond had the jeweler install a cubic zirconia. Swapped rings while she was in the shower and she was none the wiser. That is until she tried to pawn it a year later. "You told me it was real!" My response was "It was as real as your commitment you cheating @#$(%."

Its just a symobol of a relationship gone wrong. Why would you want it back?
I would be mad if he stole it from me .. but if you gave it back, then its his to do as he wants....
If he stole it from you... then file on your homeowners insurance for it and a police report. Give them pictures of it.
The thing about jewlery is that it is just a material possession and if it were that important to you, you would never have taken it off.

I'm in agreement with the other posters, she is just an innocent victim in all this....the ring is a symbol of happier times gone a muck ( why would you want it back?)....leave it alone and rise above it, if he that much of a loser he will get his just rewards without you get acting like the scorned bitter ex wife .....we reap what we sow!

Be grateful that you are done with him and do a happy dance

think it deals with sentimental value. similar to an ex spouse keeping her married name after a divorce. or a newly weds decision to keep her or his maiden although married to someone else. this situation though seems to be dealing with emotional issues. for him to purchase a ring then get it without her knowledge seems to be immature. but moreso some display of vindication

That is why I made sure to keep my rings. Gold is VERY expensive right now. Add my diamond to that, and I can sell them for a decent amount!

I don't need the rings, but I could use the money. :up:

What a slime-bucket!

Let it go. Be the better person, especially since there are kids involved. The girlfriend will figure out he's a slime bucket on her own. Let her enjoy her misery in the meantime.

Go out and treat yourself in a new way. Maybe get yourself a nice little piece of bling (doesn't have to be that expensive) to reward yourself for your better qualities and to celebrate being rid of such an insensitive idiot.

if it means something to you, say it

if it doesn't matter, leave it be

there are reasons why he is your ex

if you let him go, why would you want to keep the symbol of your unity?

No,id rise above it. Hes your ex,let him give her your left overs and leave em to it.
Would you want the ring back anyway? After hes given it to someone else? I wouldnt personally,if its so easy to give away,i wouldnt want it,doesnt matter how much it cost itd be worthless to me.
No,you be the better person and leave them to it,pity her,and thank your stars you arent wearing it nomore.

Judgemental much? She was none the wiser, assumed it was fake all along. I got most of my money back out of the deal (In fact I made a small profit). I did not save it with the intent of giving it to my next ex girlfriend/wife. That would be tacky. Plus with infidelity she is lucky all she got was a ring swap.

Oh and put on a top that fits. You are sagging out of your outfit, no one wants to see that.

Saying anything about it achieves nothing positive for anyone concerned, so why would you say anything now you've got past the moment where you might have blurted out something without thinking? You don't need to hurt either of these people -- you have your own life and your own future to think of -- let them do the best they can do with theirs. The ring was symbolic of something that is over. Unless you were going to sell it and need the money to be able to put food on the table, take a deep breath and just let it go. It's in the past and no concern of yours: wish them luck, not ill and you'll feel better.

Ha Ha Ha Pilot 152 - good comeback there, mate. You sure you have no aussie heritage in your family, with such a comeback ?

I think I would have to made some comments such as - "oh you found my old ring, _______ (insert name) ? Only 19 more payments and it will be paid off". The girl is an innocent victim and I read about a man who re-used his dead wife's rings for his new wife which resulted in theft charges against him by her children. They were heirloom items and he was keeping them for the family - not for her kids to pawn.

I could not recycle stuff like that unless it was an heirloom but do recall when I was 18 that my g/f at the time broke up with me just before her 18th b/day but still invited me to her party knowing I had spent a fortune on jewellery for her. On the day I swapped it over with cheap fake stuff - getting a refund and then meeting her new b/f that night, passing over her fake gold jewellery with a warm greeting.

My ex's exhusband found his wedding ring in a box and threw it at me telling me I could have it - which my ex pawned and got a lousey $20.00 - it was a cheap fake he had bought to cover losing his 1st ring.

I dont think the OP says she wants the ring...but that is just freaking tacky. I would have said "Oh, my wedding band!! I thought you lost it!

Wow that is incredible. I wouldn't want the band back. If the marriage is over not sure why you would still want it.

I wouldn't let her know either. I think everyone has the right to make their own mistakes and if he gave her something that belonged to you she will eventually find out herself.

I think we all have a little devil in us at times and if it was me and my ex did that and gave my wedding ring to his newest s**g peace i would of merely pointed out to her that you had seen the ring on her finger and wondered where his C**k ring was as it always slipped off....hehehehe meeeooooowwww peee weeeee......... I say i would say that but in reality i would feel nothing but pity for her as she now had to deal with this man and you dont....dont let that man make you feel like crap because you are worth so much more and deserve it to just keep smiling xxx

I actually had an ex's ring for my own. It was a family heirloom and he proposed to his ex with it and they never got married and then he proposed to me with it. I should have ran then but he promised me that he would get me a different one when he could afford it. 7 years later and nothing, i took it off a long time ago, it was hard to look at. For me anyways. Just my 2cents

What would be the point? What the ring represented is long since gone, right?

I threw mine in the lake.....

Hey Pilot mind your own business, leave the photos alone hon I didn't see a thing wrong with them, anyway given to you out of love, at the moment anyway, you might be opening her eyes to see where she is heading, no MAN re-cycles a ring, unless he is Bob Barker?

I'm not sure how you kept your mouth shut when you saw it on her finger. I am sure I would have blurted out something.

I think the poor girl has a right to know. Just my opinion


I agree. She should know what a cheapass loser she is with.

I'm sure the ring holds sentimental value, it's yours, and I'd let him know when his girlfriend isn't around that you'd like it back. He'll probably just say it's not the same ring though. Tacky, tacky, tacky.

It is to my understanding that it is never a good idea to give a used ring. That it will just bring bad luck your way. So in a way it will serve a good purpose. Yeah, i would say something to her. Why should she have a hand me down ring, that is just wrong
