I've realised that there is something unexpected that I really really miss since we split. I took my wedding ring off a few weeks ago, and realised that when I listen to music I used to tap along with my ring on the side of my mug/pint glass/any other hard surface. I find myself doing it all the time now, but no sound comes out! I'm thinking of putting my ring back on, just so I can carry on tapping :lol:

Anyone else find that they miss something completely unexpected?

yep me too, its so sad cos i made a right fuss over my rings (carat and cut) and now i cant stand them. Arguably one of the most expensive piece of jewelry i own and now wasted, thinking of selling it and starting a college fund for my son. Whatever you do, don't put it back on, thats going back not forward, if you need sound i'll drum on my pans and pots that should be louder than our rings.

I miss saying "my husband and i", i have tried to get it right but i can't, i find myself having to correct myself an say my ex, and men say we don't put them first hehehee

Good Luck and keep strong

Hi JXR

I miss my husband doing odd jobs around the house, like jobs that I cant do myself but Ive had to learn.

So thats what I miss my X for.

Been a year for me since this happened, and I still find myself thinking, OH! Where's my wedding ring! I still feel a bit naked without it. I sold it on eBay recently in order to pay bills and eat, and was glad it went to a good home :) because it's a beautiful ring, and the person that bought it was really happy to get it. I wished it well and sent it with positive feelings (if that makes sense) but still, it's weird, the physical feeling of not having a ring on that finger (not that it would fit now, mind...)

I miss sleeping next to him. I miss cooking for him. I miss having someone, the same someone every day, to talk about my day at the end of the day.

I took off the ring, but I can't bring myself to get rid of it.

I missed him recently when the toilet was leaking. I had to pay someone to fix it, lol. He was really really good at DIY though.
