After reading other posts, I thought I should add one thing. For a period of time a couple of months ago, I took off my own ring and put it away. I metioned that to my new C and she asked "are you still marrried?" I said "yes". She asked "do you want to stay married?" and again I said "yes". Her response was "then put your ring back on and show you are living up to the committment you talk about." Its funny that I had known that all along but it sounded so much more concrete when she said it. I am standing up for that committment with all the symbols.
Stand up for what's right, even if you're standing alone.
