My H took his ring off the first time he left in Dec. 2009 and hasn't worn it since. I have his ring and wear it on a chain. He knows that I want to keep it and he seems to be fine with that.

I have been wearing mine to this day. When the D is final, I imagine I will have to stow away my gorgeous engagement ring. I have made the decision to continue to wear my wedding band and maybe his too on the same finger. I have already made the decision that I won't be selling them. I am going to just put my engagement ring in a safe place for now. Hopefully some day that all the rings will be back where they belong.
