About a month after H decided he wanted something different, he had taken off his ring and I was forced to do the same. If he had given up, I didn't want to be holding on and wearing it.

I eventually sent out an email to some of my close friends just giving them a short synopsis of what was going on. "not sure if what we want is compatible, hoping to make it work, etc" just so they had some idea what was going on and I wouldn't have to explain myself in person so many times.

I got an outpouring of people who wanted me to let me know that they were there for me if I needed to talk. I never took advantage of that, but I felt better being able to tell my side of the story without feeling that I might break down.
