My ONLY concern with my decision to wear them was that I didn't want anyone to think I was "backsliding" into over-sentimentalizing a marriage which is no more. I didn't want anyone thinking I was pining for XH or losing the ground I gained in terms of accepting the outcome of his choices, because if I'd have chosen to wear them a year ago, it would have been a backslide. I didn't want people worrying about my mental state or worse, pitying me that I was still hanging on to him, because truly I am not.
I just don't have bad thoughts when I look at them and I just really am tired of these sort of "post-divorce rules" I've come across which say you can or can't do something, and as far as I'm concerned, these are pretty treasures I found in my bedroom last week and I like sparkly things, so if I want to wear them, then I will, and if I made you feel like it's ok for you to wear your lovely rings with pride, then my work here is done ;-)
