Friend still wears her engagement ring even though she's been divorce for 15 years.?

I realize that I left out some detail. She wants to meet someone and hopefully remarry. I thought the ring was a hinderance.

Update:

One of my best friends has been divorced for over 15 years but she still wears her diamond engagement ring. Her ex has definitely moved on. happily re-married with new children so there's no hope of reconciliation. The men she's been involved with since her divorce have been totally losers. None of them seem to mind that she's still wearing the ring. She says she likes jewelry. I personally would have made it into something else. Like a pendant.

Men: would you date a girl that still wears her engagement ring? Seems odd to me.

    On the surface it appears she is regretting some mistakes she made with him. So she respects him by wearing this ring. Hey, we live in a world that refuses facts as they are said that they may hurt us. She is just being honest. My heart goes out to her. This happens in both male and female worlds as many of us do not want hurt to those we love, but make mistakes.

    It could be the Liberal thing that says deny one was wrong.. meaning him, or the real thing and she hurts for a mistake she made? We are told that facts can hurt, so we should not accept them in our media or elsewhere. Treatment does the opposite? Why do we allow denial in our Liberal world and suggest it is offensive to have closure by allowing us to say.. I make mistakes, male of female?

    We are told nothing is wrong as it is part of freedom.. this is in our public schools.. then we ask why all the problems? All societies that surveyed had moral restrictions and these did not prevent any from doing wrong.. they were guidelines! liberals say this is wrong. I say it is why we have what we have now! Makes sense, doesn't it. Earl

    Source(s): Spit wads to school shootings.. anti-gun instead of telling the truth.. it goes on and on.. baby killing by lying to America.. saying it is not a baby until we see it OUT of the womb? A blob is sucked apart by a money making and socially lied to Doctor.. We know our schools caused the anti-Communist rejection.. the worst form of government ever that existed.. how do we treat them now? We allow anything they do as good.. not their people under the oppression.. but the lying governments that oppress. Earl

    Stop injecting your value on her as Gospel of how things should go. I wore my engagement ring as jewelry, and no more, till I remarried. My man did not mind because I did not tell him...it was not up for discussion and it had nothing to do with the ex. It was my diamond to wear, not yours or any ones.

    id half to say its just jewelry and for most guys if she doesn't say what kind of ring it is were guys we don't know a ring from a ring unless its a wedding band or we bought it lol we would never know and im sure lots of women and men wear rings and necklaces that some one else gave them but unless they tell you how will you ever know

    Honestly.. if that gives her comfort let her do it.. some people do like jewelry and possibly she just likes the ring with no meaning behind it.. In the end what does it matter either way..?

    I wouldn't date a girl that /kept/ it.

    I wouldn't date a girl that /sold/ it and kept the money.

    If she didn't give it back or sell it and split the proceeds she lacks integrity.

    An engagement ring is *unmistakable*, it would have to be highly non-traditional or he would have to be a moron to mistake what it is.

    It is more strange to me that you are that concerned about what jewelry your friend wears than her wearing it.

    maybe she likes the ring. Why does her taste in jewlery bother you so much?
