Reply to: Married? Do you wear a wedding ring?

You realise I am currently winning, right?

So you broke her heart then took the ring, .

Better than breaking her ring and taking her heart!

I'm not sure what logic I stated. I think that following etiquette is foolish, if you're offered it back and refuse you're a fool.

All the more surprising that you can't play a decent game of chess.

*sigh* you stated:

If you're silly enough to let her keep it, then more fool you.

Which did not reference whether the ring was being offered, only that a person was a fool to let their ex partner keep the ring. Hence, I asked how you got the ring back if she wanted to keep it.

However, if you actually meant "if you're offered it back and refuse you're a fool" then I follow the logic although I am not sure it is a clear cut as that.

Yes, she must give thanks each morning.

She married my housemate and I married her best friend. They're still best friends. But we're not still housemates.

I actually can't remember if she did the whole symbolic taking the ring off as we broke up, or if I asked for it. It was 10 years ago and a lucky escape.

From the same guy?

- it has it's perks as well as it's downsides. Am still stumped as to d000hg's logic though. Feel free to explain it!

Although one minor downside of autism is my daughter seems to have inherited it and is classed as a high functioning autistic. We just got her IEP from the school.

You're the expert.

But you accepted?

Well, quite.

I gave mine back, but I have friends who kept theirs.

I don't think there is really any etiquette is there?

It would all depend on the circumstances, if it was an amicable break up or not etc.

I held on to my Wedding ring for quite a long time, I couldn't quite bring myself to part with it as it had been blessed.

That autistic spectrum disorder's a bugger, isn't it?

...does not compute..

So if you follow etiquette you do not get the ring back and you are fool. If she does not follow etiquette (or does not know/agree with that) then you do not get the ring back which means you are a fool.

How do get the ring back if she does not offer it?

You could overpower her and take it in which case you have the ring and are not a fool but surely you would be arrested for theft?
