Respecting yourself comes from more than a ring you wear.
I'm pro moving on and validating her choice, but to make a thread based on taking your ring off is quite sad.
Do you do this as a tactic or do you do this because your done? She left her vows, but you don't have to. I left mine on out of principal. I stood for what I believed in as long as I could. There wasn't a minute I didn't want to chuck that "object" into the ocean. However, I knew I had to stay with my marriage until the bitter end. Didn't stop me from enjoying life. I did question the same things, but in the end, so I could know I did the right thing I kept it on. The minute the $h!t was over...I took it off.
Contradictory to what I post, I still held true to my vows. I did it because a good friend suggested I do...It's just one more thing I needed to know that I came through with limited choices. I came here to save my marriage, but in the end it was myself. I chose my wedding vows until it was over.
What do you want? Temporary relief or to know that you tried?
