Leaving the Land of Insanity...

Ok BBJ, so you've been in denial a LONG time. Next step is anger. Let it pour out of you, get it out so you can step beyond it. Be careful when you get to bargaining though....it can send you into a deep depression. As long as you keep aware that it's coming, you will get to acceptance a lot quicker.

As far as the ring is concerned, are you sure you are really ready to take it off or did you just do it in a fit of anger? I took mine off and put it back on so many times until I finally put it away in a locked jewelry box never to be touched again. It took about 3 months before I could do that. Make sure you are doing this for you and not as some sort of signal to Dan or anyone else.
