You could sell them and spend the money on something you'll value. Whether that's shoes, wine, something for the kids or a divorce party - there's lots of options.
You could bury them, throw them in the ocean or something similar in a kind of removing him from your life ritual. It may be the rings could represent what went wrong, such as being controlled, accepting X kind of behaviour or whatever. By removing them, you can say that negative behaviour is going with them.
I know my DH hocked his not long before we met. Mum gave me her engagement ring, but I've never felt comfortable wearing it as, for me, it's a symbol of things going wrong.
I offered to give mine back but he didn't want them so I melted them down and had them combined to make a dress ring...........though it's now sitting in a drawer somewhere in the house.
Is it nasty to say that sometimes I wish I would lose it so I could use the insurance money to buy something I really want and like?
