i don't mean to be thread-jack .. but i gotta know.
you're all here because your spouses are walking away. and yet, you have said that your spouses still wear their rings.
to me, that's a great sign. they are honoring the marriage until the D is final. you have hope so db your butts off!
me? as soon as we moved into separate apartments (we sold our house), my ring came off. there was no question. i was barely into the separation when i took it off. i lost weight too but that wasn't the reason for me taking it off.
i was done. and i think i took my ring off before he did. it wasn't until he noticed that i was no longer wearing mine that he removed his. and to this day, i'm not D yet .. but i get a lot of attention with no ring on my finger.
don't get me wrong. i wanted to save my m. but then i woke up from my own fog. did i still want to be married to a narcissistic prick who mentally and verbally abused me for years? i hope he rots in hell.
how would you feel if your Ws took hers off pre-D? curious as to what men think about this.
