Why were you the first to take off your wedding band?
Stuck,
As I told Coach a few weeks back (don't know if I can quote from that post and paste it to my post to you, so let me type it in verbatim since it was fresher in my mind then).
"taking off the ring was a post-'I want a divorce,' pre-DR/DBing move along the lines of, 'Face it. This is over.You tried everything these past six months while she just moved further and further away,' and it was a bit of a 180 for me..."
I also posted someone that its absence was a constant reminder of my new reality and how bad a sitch this is.
I hadn't taken it off once in these past seventeen years. True.
