i made myself a 'divorce' ring (a year after the fact, but who's counting....)


i went to a new beads store and they had these 'empty' rings that you just glue crystals or other stones into. so now i have a new sparkling ring. i just have to smile every time i look at it. i came SO FAR in the two years since we left that idiot! i am so proud of myself!

That is such a neat idea!! Good for you. It's nice to know that it gets easier.

Great for you! I hope one day, I too can do something silly and feel the same as you. I have a friend that has an annual divorce party close to the date of her divorce. She has been divorced 4 years and actually met her recent boyfriend at her last divorce party. I don't know if that is a good thing or not, but she says she is happy. I do like the idea of an annual divorce party. I just can't see that far ahead yet.

It's funny how a little thing like that can be so symbolic, isn't it. I have an "I'm divorced" ring, too, but I bought mine. Just sterling with a simple stone, but I love it. It reminds me of how far I've come and that I am free.

Don't know if I'd go as far as having an annual divorce party. I'd rather think about my life now than think about the marriage that never should have been, lol. Although if it's a potential way of meeting a hot guy, maybe I should reconsider. ;)

I, too have a "fredom ring". What's funny is I thought I was alone in doing this, but as soon as my girlfriend saw it, she asked if it was my fredom ring (it's just silver w/ a blue topaz - my fav). I said yes & she showed me hers. I hadn't realized it was a common thing to do! LOL! Now I have about 3 "freedom rings" (for different outfits).

My wedding anniversary was/is November 17th and I'm getting my tubes tied on November 18th so maybe I'll throw a divorce/I don't have a baby party. LMAO!!!!
