The ring has been in the family for 100 years. The mom gave it to me before I married brother #1. Then, brother one divorced me, and I am now with brother #2. Mother wants me to have the ring again. I know it sounds weird, but it really isn't, given the circumstances. So, do I wear the family ring, or not?

Your next spouse - if there ever is one- may likely no longer be to relax on you conserving it on your flow round inclusive of her and may wish a 'sparkling one'. Gold is promoting at almost $900 an oz.. you may make some funds on it in case you promote it as scrap. If that is a effective ring and examine youngsters, you may supply it to at least one among them in a while down the line. If it has diamonds or some thing, you're waiting to have them reset in yet another piece of jewellery on your new spouse. My brother in regulation took the diamond from his ring and had it made into an earring. It seems type of stupid on a fifty 3 twelve months previous guy because it truly is too vast. His new spouse bought him a sapphire earring so now he has double holes in a unmarried ear and rather seems stupid. BTW - my husband not in any respect wore a wedding ceremony ring, so i wager he doesn't could be afflicted about this.

My husband's mother gave me her wedding and engagement ring when she was married to my husband's father. After she divorced him and married her ex-husband's brother. It's sentimental because the best thing she got out of her first marriage were her two sons. She wanted to pass it on to me. It's not 100 years old or anything, but it is special in a different way than the original intent.
You have to go with your gut feeling and do what feels right to you. You may want to keep it until you have a daughter or daughter in law. It doesn't mean you have to wear it if you are uncomfortable. Create a new value to yourself, it sounds like something I would want to wear because if it's history. I'd be honored too.

I personally wouldn't just because I would want everything new with no memory of brother #1 on my finger. But the fact is you know you had that ring once and it didn't work out, so just leave it.

Where are you from Kentucky?
Well first of all, Its really DIRTY to date your exhusband's brother or is that not frowned upon by your kind of people? I say go ahead and wear the ring, it's not like it means that much anyway (the Holy Matrimony thing and all) Oh yeah, who is the best man? Let me guess, your exhusband/brother-in-law. This sounds like a Jerry Springer Christmas special I watched, it was called "I'm a dirty tramp and I'm sleeping with my husbands brother"

Yeah hooking up with the brother is creepy. However, in the sense of keeping it in the family, it all makes sense. You live in the bible belt right?

what the freaks are you doing? Keeping it all in the family? How can you do that knowing you already had one brother? are you from a small town there are not many men around so you share them all? Just plain GROSS!

That's not creepy. I knew someone who married a widower and the widower didn't want his former wife's picture taken out of the bedroom. That's creepy.

Ridiculous. This is so strange. Why would you get involved with your ex-brother-in-law? Disgusting. Don't accept the ring, it's bad luck. The whole thing sounds gross. Don't reproduce.

Since you like keeping things in the family, why don't you marry the mother too!

I think the only one who can tell if it's creepy is you. If it freaks you out, politely refuse. What I think would be creepy is marrying your ex's brother :-P, but to each their own.
