Though I rarely wore my ring during my 4 1/2 year marriage, due to fear that I would lose it (like my ex did only three days after receiving his ring), I developed wedding band envy while my marriage was ending. I mourned for the 4 1/2 years that I could have “officially” worn that gorgeous ring but didn’t. It makes me feel a little better to know that others out there, men and women, also have wedding band envy. Thank you, David, for this and all your insightful, intimate posts.

Aaaaawww, Dad’s. Wedding Band Envy has got me sending you a hug across the miles and wishing for romantic love to enter your life soon! You sound so ready for your next special woman.

I just got back from a lovely time with my new friend who sounds like he is at the same place with being single that you are. Not sure I’m the one for him, but I thought I’d share so you would know there are other kind, appealing, handsome, bright, fit, happy, sexy men out there alone that have been looking for a while.

This was a wonderfully written post. I have looked into my future... it is not the marriage that I long for but the intimacy, the companionship, the road trips, the little discussions... it is the best friend... does that mean marriage...?

That post is exactly how I feel. I’ve been lurking on your post for a long time but never posted. I too have been divorced for 9 years but am a full time single mom to one teenager…….almost adds up to your two half-time.

I’ve thought about the empty nest right around the corner…..so i’m back at school to start a new career about that time……….and in between just got a road bike and am out in the hills around here.

Okay, virtual hug (is that too dorky?) I'm sorry, that made me sad. As someone who was supposed to be married (before I actually did get married), planned a wedding, bought a dress, reserved the band and then had it go BANG in my face, I sorta, maybe get what you mean. Even though I wear a ring at the moment I can still understand that 'envy". Everyone is in a happier marriage, more successful in careers, living the dream life elsewhere. You seem, from what I've read, to be in a good place but I do understand that can feel lonely. I do. Andrea´s last blog post..Looking for me? And a plea from BDHQ

At first I thought this was a post about when your buddy gets his wife a better wedding ring than you got for your wife. Alas its not...so I agree any wedding band is more often than not better than being single. BMWmotorcycle´s last blog post..BMW Motorcycles GPS Drawings
