For all those that are unsure, yes it is my wedding ring, I probably could've got it off with a bit of soap and a lot of patience but having it cut off was very symbolic and I did indeed feel free as soon as it was off my finger.
Interesting. Reminds me of when my ex husband cut off his wedding ring, after I asked for the divorce. He couldn't get it off any other way. It was a sad moment.
I have to assume this was a bracelet you wanted rid of...out of or whatever. Great personal meaning and that is what freedom really is when it comes down to it.
