know how you feel about the ring. I have struggled with wearing mine since this separation started. I took them off for about a week because I slammed by ring finger in a door but H flipped out about it and I put them back on. But I don't feel right wearing them. The M we had is dead. If we work things out I would like to have a commitment ceremony or something to symbolize our new beginning and have him put the rings back on my finger then. Probably sounds lame... from a woman's romantic point of view.
So maybe this could be something you work for...putting the ring back on once you two find your way back to one another.
In the mean time...I found the motherload...Craigslist (lots of used furniture) & The Christmas tree shop for furniture & housewares, cheap and local. LOL. Also hit up relatives and friends for cast offs. Not doing so bad in the empty home dept after all.
Good luck with the Mediation. (((Hugs)))
PS: Seven jeans are known for making the rear look great...and well worth the $150
