Hi Puppy,

Don't know if you rememeber me, but you gave me some good advice a bit back. My situation is still not great, but it is a bit better.

It seems to me that her wearing her ring means something different to her that it does to you. She seems to be saying that the ring means that everyting is great and she just isn't ready to let the world know that you to are on the mend.

To me, my ring means that I am married. It says nothing about the state of my marriage. I will wear it until I am no longer married.

I don't particulary like wearing a wedding ring. It bothers my hand. I scrape it when I lift weights. It is downright dangerous when I am woodworking. But I wear it anyway. Sometimes when I'm really pissed off at my wife I do take it off, but then I feel strangely naked. Plus it seems that women look at me differently (probably imagined!) when I don't wear it and that is one complication that I don't need at the moment.

My wife does wears hers most of the time (except when she exercises), probably because I spent a small fortune on it and it is big and sparkly.


I'm a man . . .
But I can change . . .
If I have to . . .
I guess . . .
