2.    Off With It!

When You Know the Marriage is Over – If you know the marriage is over, even before a civil divorce, and continuing to wear it feels like a lie. Maybe you’re not able to stand seeing it because it’s no longer the symbol of unity and love that it was intended to be. It’s totally okay to that ring off your finger whenever you’re ready.
