So, since FI and I "aren't together" anymore... can i still wear the ring? =/
or is it better to just leave it in the box?

If you're sure it's over, I would leave it in the box.

Hi Dear

That's a tough one. 

How do you feel when it's on you?  Are you mad, sad, nostalgic, happy?

It all depends on how you feel when you're wearing it and it's on your finger.

BUT - if you want to get through this/make yourself stronger etc....I would go with what meenamoo  said.

I think it definitely depends on how you feel still and if you want to work it out still. You can keep it till you talk to him, but when you guys talk dont let him see it on your hand let him sweat a little.

I agree with the rest of the ladies, it all depends on how you feel about it, but if you know it is over for sure, then go with what meenamoo said.

I agree with meenamoo and everyone else as well. I like what Nicky said too, if you do talk to him, don't wear it and let him see that...it might jolt him back to the reality of what he's done...

I, personally, would take it off if I was certain that it was over. In fact, even if he comes back saying he made a mistake, I'd probably keep it off for now. He clearly is not ready to commit right now and you two should take it slow and build back up to what you had before.

Edited to add: I should give you some background. I was engaged once before.  I left my first fiance in a hurry (he was abusive and I didn't see it till almost too late), so I still had the ring when I left. I put it in my jewelry box and forgot all about it. It stayed there for a full year before I found it while clearing out all my seldom-worn jewelry to sell. I wasn't in contact with him anymore at that point and didn't really want to be, so I took it to a pawn shop. Didn't even get a quarter of what he'd paid for it because it was a small stone (which was what I'd wanted, and I hadn't been thinking about the resale value when he gave it to me), but my only other idea was throwing it in the river.

I personally won't wear it. When my first engagement got called off I couldn't handle wearing it and just put it in the box. It stayed there until I finally gave it back to him!

If you feel better wearing it you can, but like the other ladies said don't wear it if you meet up with him.

I decided to put the ring back in its box and away in his drawer...it hurt pretty bad putting it away but its the best thing to do right now...I don't even know what to do with his clothes..just leave it here?
