Me and my wife are going through a mutual seperation with every intent to get back together and I noticed she took her ring off. It kind of makes me wonder. Shouldn't one take their ring off when a divorce is agreed upon?

Is it a requirement by law to wear the ring during a marriage or separation? I don't think so. She is not wearing it because she doesn't feel like she wants to; and this is her right.

I feel a wedding ring is a symbol of the love and marital bond between two people. Your wife may be feeling anger and resentment and this is what made her not wear the wedding ring. Since you both agreed on a mutual separation then let it go at that. Once you both can work out issues that caused the separation then hopefully the love and joy she once felt for that ring will come back to her. Otherwise, why wear it? Best of luck to you both!

You are separated. She can take the ring off. It is her choice. Does not look like a mutual thing on her end though. By the way, lots of married women do not wear their wedding rings.

I would think so. Being separated doesn't mean you aren't married anymore. I think once you have agreed to get a divorce then she should take off her ring. Maybe in her mind she has already decided that and she is just playing the waiting game......I would be upset you have every right to be.

I must say I agree with you. If you are both planning on get back together, she should leave it on, but really, it's totally up to her. I didn't take my rings off until after my ex and I filed, cause I figured there was always hope, and I didn't want someone thinking I WASN'T married, ya know?

That is a personal choice. I can't help but wonder if she has taken her ring off that she is not planning on reconciling. I may be wrong. So if I were you Just tell her you noticed that she took her ring off and ask why?

Wearing a ring is not mandtory even when all is fine and dandy. You may think you two will get back together, but I have a feeling she does not feel the same way.

If you have the hopes to coming back together - I would say wear it.
I am going thru a seperation (real soon) and I plan to keep mine on - I have every hope he will see the grass isn't greener on the other side.

i kept my band on while separated. She doesn't sound like she wants to work things out if she is not wearing it. i took my diamond off, but never took off my band. I was confused about what i wanted and she may be too. But i made a commitment to my husband and as long as we were married i wore my ring to represent that.
