Antifreeze will take care of the situation.

And then looking over all of the proofs of the cover art, identifying the art that matches the concepts the writer is working on, and then working on various versions, adding a unicorn here or moving a flower there. Producing the card is easy compared to the work that I put in before it gets to that stage.

Rep! Awesome!

My ex started wearing our engagement ring after we got divorced. I didn't really care that much at the time, although I thought it would have been more fashionable for her to wear it up her ass than on her finger.

Pretty much this. I'm pretty sure my wife still occasionally wears jewelry one of her exes gave her. Hell, it's too bad they didn't give her more so I wouldn't have to. :D

Sorry, she's still seeing him on the side.

The necklace is a sure tell.

My wife wears an ankle bracelet her ex gave her. I assume it's 'cause she likes ankle bracelets. If it bugged me, I'd buy her one--maybe even the exact one--and say, "Here, wear this one," LOL.

Really, though. It probably doesn't mean anything. And, frankly, if it does... so what?

Why do people assume that, once a relationship ends, you have to chuck out all the good feelings you had during that relationship? If it was a loving, deep, and meaningful relationship, and meant something to her, and didn't end crappily, let her keep her little memento. Is there a rule that says, "While in a relationship, you must love the person, but as soon as it ends you must exorcise them from your memory"? That's kinda shitty. I mean, look, she married YOU, and isn't f**king HIM any more, so what more do you want? Why do people act like being in a relationship must be a mutually-exclusive deal, where every ounce of warmth and affection--past, present, and future--must be directed at the other person?

A piece of jewelry is no different from a photograph, a music album, or some other trinket. It's just a reminder of a happy time. It doesn't mean it's a reminder of a happIER time or a BETTER time.

I have a few rings I no longer wear, and six pieces of jewelry I currently wear. Most was purchased by me, a few weren't. But the only thing I wear that my wife gave me is my wedding ring. Which I think is probably the most important piece. (Although I bought that f**ker too, LOL...)

You should buy her a pendant with a scripted "1985" because, I'll bet she'd like that too.

I make sure to take all the jewelery I purchased any ex with me. Why don't more people have this policy? The only thing I leave behind are stretch marks and mayhem. Why don't more people have this policy?

Good policy. But don't leave it where the current SO will find it. Ever. That'll get your ass in trouble, too.

Sell all old jewelry. Period.

I may have left some on her body. Is that bad?

Phobia 03-03-2010 01:35 AM

Seriously though, I took the two rings from my ex-wife and have kept them all these years. I plan to give them to my daughters when they're old enough to care - which may be never.

If it was an engagement ring or a locket with his and her pictures in it, I could see having an issue, but not just some generic earings or whatever.

I still have clothes from past girlfriends, and it never brings back some emotional attachment when I wear it.



How did it come up that it was a gift from an ex? Did she specifically point it out, or did you ask?

We were talking about this kid from our church and how he used to like her, and he gave her a necklace when he was trying to get with her. Then she said that "Joe" gave her something that she still has while they dated. To be honest I just cant stand "Joe", I think he's an idiot.

You guys have me interested, now. I'm going to do an inventory of the beautiful and witty Mrs. FAX's jewelry and establish the provenance of each and every damn piece. If she's still wearing some other guy's ransom, it's going to hit ebay before you can say, "Obsessing on the distant past.". Especially if it's worth any money.
