Forever Lost: What To Do With An Engagement Ring After A Divorce

In the midst of a divorce, the last thing you might be thinking about is what to do with your engagement ring. But for many women who are going through this difficult process, it's a very real question. As someone who has been in S's shoes, I can attest that it's a complex and emotional decision.

For me, my engagement ring was more than just a symbol of my marriage - it was a gift from the person I loved. And as such, I believed it shouldn't come with conditions or expectations. But what about when that relationship ends? Should you hold on to the ring for your children's sake, or is it best to let it go?

I've always thought that engagement rings are gifts, and gifts should not come with strings attached. When I lost my own engagement ring (which had been replaced with a custom-made ring using the original stones), I was devastated at first. But as time passed, I began to see the symbolism in its disappearance - it was set free, and now it's on to new adventures.

For S, she is struggling with whether to hold onto her engagement ring for her children or let it go. As someone who has been through a similar experience, my advice would be to do what feels right for you. If the ring holds sentimental value and is important to your family's history, then it may be worth keeping. But if it's causing more stress than joy, then it may be time to let it go.

Ultimately, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. It's a personal decision that depends on your own unique circumstances and emotions. What do you think? How did you handle the engagement ring after your divorce? Share your stories in the comments below.
