Should i take off the ring my ex gave me?

ok well I have this ring that my friend (ex-boyfriend) gave me and I wear it all the time. but saturday I started dating alex and he got really mad I was wearing the ring. should I take it off? it means a lot to me but I don't know if I should keep it on...

or take it off. I don't want my boyfriend to be mad. also we are all planning on going to the mall friday and jake is one of myclose friends and he wants to meet alex is this a good idea or a bad idea? I don't know know if they will get along cause alex already doesn't like him because I used to date jake. should we let them meet or not?

You should have stopped wearing that ring after you broke up with Jake. You could have kept it at home if you didn't want to throw it away or return it to him, but continuing to wear it was a bad idea.

And Alex sounds strangely immature.

And now that I know you're fourteen, I totally understand why these things happened.

First, you should have given the ring back or put it in a keepsake box. If I had to guess, I'd say you still like this Jake fellow, or else you would have taken the ring off. You really need to really think about why you are wearing the ring, and then decide what to do. If you want to keep the ring on because it reminds you of Jake, then you shouldn't be dating Alex.

If you want to keep the ring on because it's pretty, etc., then it's your right to do so and Alex shouldn't be so controlling about it.

With what you have said about Alex, I do not think it would be a good idea for Jake and him to meet, at least not yet. He is obviously not ready to see your ex and deal with that situation.

If you are wearing that ring becos it symbolizes how much jake meant to you, take it off! becos you have a new bf now and it will make him uncomfortable thinking you still have feelings for jake, if you actually do still have feelings for jake, you shouldnt be with alex.

But if you are wearing it becos it just looks nice then fine, reassure alex that it doesnt mean anything. He will prob say then why not take it off then? so to save arguments its best to just take it off.

2nd, alex is already insecure about jake, if there is nothin between you and jake anymore then having them meet may help alex let his insecurities go, by seeing you together and seeing there is nothing between you anymore then friendship. But if jake wants to meet alex to suss him out and see who you have chosen after him...then its not such a good idea.

Take the ring off. Alex probably got so mad becaus he might have thought that you, were still with Jake. Because that's probably why Jake gave you the ring in the first place. To show people that you're together.

A ring usually symbolizes something between two people. You, and your Ex are NO longer together, so in my opinion you shouldnt be wearing it anymore.

My ex gave me 2 beautiful necklaces, but because we are no longer together, i have them put away, never to be worn again...at least not by me.

I dont think Alex is immature for not liking you to wear another guys ring. (Especially an Ex) If my new boyfriend was still wearing something from his Ex, personally I dont think I would be too happy with that. Your just sending your new boyfriend mixed messages.

It really does look like youre not over your Ex though. I'm guessing HE ended the relationship, because most people try to move forward in their lives whenever a relationship ends, and leave the past behind. Even if you are friends with your ex...that doesnt mean you still have to wear the ring he gave you.
Respect your boyfriends feelings! Think how you would feel if the tables were turned.

I have to agree with the others and my fellow advisors...

The ring is symbolic! If you guys arnt together.. then DONT WEAR THE RING! Show your new boyfriend some respect. If there is nothing there with the EX then take of the ring..

Put it somewhere.. like an ex boyfriend box- with all the other stuff that has to do with you guys... (photos, letters..etc). A ex gave me a nice ring.. with a half carat diamond once.. a promise ring. When we broke up.. after 4 yrs of dating.. i put it in a box. and a year later when I didnt have anything to do with him.. i pawned it.

The point is.. if you not going to take the ring off.. then get back with your ex already

its a ring, if you like it you like it, but dont wear it just to get your bf or if you have feelings for your ex..but also think about how you would feel if your bf always wore a watch for example that his ex gave him

take it off and keep it if you like it.I have small things from a few ex boyfriends, things that I like and dont want to throw away just because its from an ex. Just because you have them things doesnt mean you still like your ex.Maby you just like the ring.

okay, I noticed that about 2 months ago, you had to choose between 5 guys.
WHY do you have a ring from some dude you weren't even with that long in the first place? thats stupid. and you're 14, stop worrying about stuff like that.
