hi there mylotters! my exboyfriend gave me a ring on my birthday. i was not surprised about him giving me a promise ring. but frankly got frightened because he was planning to propose to me. i don't want to get married yet, i still have other plans for my family. i broke up with him after a month because our relationship isn't working at all. we argue a lot and he keeps on nagging about me and my work. i loved him but until now, after 10 months of not having him in my life, i'm still wearing the ring he gave me - which for a fact does not mean anything. my new boyfriend at first didn't mind the ring i was wearing, he knew it was from my exboyfriend. yesterday when my boyfriend and i we're together, he just said "let's take this ring out". and he took the ring out of my finger. i felt free after he took off the ring. i don't know why. i love my boyfriend so much and maybe he did that because if i keep on wearing it, it would only remind me of him. what do you say mylotters?

For me it is good if it is intended in you but not because it is from your ex then it is shy don't you.

You simply subconsciously and out of habit were not ready to take it off before. If you were you would have done so right away. The fact that you say now that you are relieved. GREAT, sweetie this means you are truly ready to move on. Your new boyfriend perhaps did not say anything before because maybe the relationship was so new and or he now is one hundred percent sure he loves you and is now ready to have you divert all your attention to him. This is a great step, so I do wish you well and you made the right decision. Imagine dating a man who got divorced a year ago but yet wore the wedding ring while dating you. The feeling would not so much be a great one. Congrats and take this a a brand new chapter in life and I do wish you well.
