Hey Guys, thanks for chiming in. Well, first took off her engagement ring after filing (4/1/11), and left her wedding band and 10 yr. anniverary band on for awhile. I noticed a couple times they were off right before she moved into her new house and once on the other hand. Once she moved they have remained off. Almost like it was calculated.
KD, I too, wanted to continue to wear mine until the "gavel drops" and didn't want it to be a reaction to her. I wanted to prove I am committed 'til the end, ya know? Then, it really just "happened" Saturday I was looking at it and I thought this is suppose to remind me of her commitment to [me] and I'm not getting any of that, so off it went....for me! I think that's the big shift. Sure, secondarily, I probably would get a rise out of knowing that it bothered her, but really, it's about my path and my wanting respect for self.
The resentment still lingers as most people can relate. I thought I detached many, many times before. I'm there now, it's sad for the relationship and I do love WAW and four kids with every fiber of my being, but, I must respect myself and and part of that to my surprise was removing the ring.
