Tuesday morning, following the confrontation the night before, I decided to not put my wedding ring back on, as a trial. I put it on a chain I wear around my neck (along with my "Christian Soldier" dog tags).
It has taken a while to get used to. But I now feel like it was time. Maybe I am kidding myself, but I don't think I am. I am not going to work on it anymore. I am dropping the rope.
