Wedding ring worry

  • I think you should let him wear it, in case you both have a new ring, he can wear yours on the right finger and move his late wife onto the other hand. At the same time there are someone who wears both ring on the same hand to show that he still honor his late wife at the same time you. I know how it feels, but don't worry, he have you now, it's only a ring that should not make any problem to both your relationship. ;)

    Personally I would not want him to wear it. Yes of course he will never forget her and neither should he but in the same way I wouldn't want hundreds of pictures of her around I wouldn't want to see the ring she gave him every time I looked at him either. I would want the ring and any other treasured items in a beautiful box somewhere accessible for him to reminisce over as wished.

    If it were me I would allow hime to wear it, especially if they had kids together. Its out of repect.

    This next bit is going to sound really harsh but I feel Im not being honest if I dont say it.... I am sure he loves you but he wouldnt be with you if she hadnt died. he obviously loved her and he ovbiously loves you. So in this case its possible to love 2 woman only you shoudlnt feel jealous. She is dead and can never take him away and she wont get to enjoy all the things you will as a couple. She is no threat. If it makes him happy to wear the ring then put your feelings to one side and put his happiness first. I think you will both be happy you did.
