Hey all, I just wanted to chime in and say: I still wear my rings. My H has gone through 3 rings in the last three years(due to loosing them, according to him, yeah right, I know better now). For a few years before he left he would wear them on and off. Then I would buy him a new one when he said he lost the old. I was such a sucker that truely had no idea he had anything truely wrong with us and our M. When he dropped the 2nd bomb in dec. '07 and moved out, I had noticed that he was not wearing his(3rd)ring that I bought for him when he came back the first time. Despite all of his actions (w/the rings),I still feel that It is important to me to still wear mine. It helps me to remember to fight for what I believe in, and I do beleive in this M, even if he dosent RIGHT NOW. I do believe today, that it will take a divorce for me to ever take them off. He gave them to me and I believed it was for life. It may not be anymore, but there is no way to tell until it is over - or not(hopefully). He never questioned me still wearing them when he left the first time, so I believe he will probably not ask about my rings being on this time either. If he does ask, I will let him know: "I am wearing the wedding rings because I am true to my vows/and commitments that I made before the Lord until the very end, and that I am not trying to hold on to him or the past by having them on". I do believe wearing the rings helps to keep me focused on what is important, and on the bigger picture at hand in all of this. TIPPER
