Hello Fran, Although I have been following your thread, I think this is the first time I've actually posted to you.
Your talking 'out loud' about considering taking off your ring to shake things up a bit...brought back a story from from a page in my rollercoaster ride to mind, that I thought I'd share with you...in Reader's Digest form.
Last Valentines Day, which as it turned out was during our failed recon attempt of last fall)my H and I were on our way out for the day and as we approached the bridge we have to cross to get where we were going...I asked H to give me his ring. Perplexed he looked at me and took it off and handed it to me. As we got to the center of the bridge, I opened the window and tossed the ring out. He was SHOCKED to say the least and asked to know why on earth I'd done that....I looked at him quite calmly and said, "That ring was a symbol of our commitment to each other. YOU betrayed that commitment, you even had the nerve to wear that ring while it was on some other woman's body. That ring was rendered as meaningless as our vows when you chose to do that to us." He didn't say a word and he's never brought it up again. I still don't wear my ring either and I wouldn't dream of wearing one unless and until it actually has some real meaning to it again. But that's just crazy me. T2
