Don't get me wrong, I fully admit that I likely had plenty to do with the marriage failing. I just wish that she had actually talked to me about her issues. I will be the first to admit that I am horrible at picking up on subtle hints and actions, which is not a good thing, I know.
My brother got married yesterday and I was the best man. That was pretty rough to get through, especially when they played in the groomsmen to the song that my W walked down the aisle to. But I put on my happy face and tried to have the best time I could.
I got some books to read to keep me busy and have been going out to hang out with friends. I am starting to work out again (first time since college really) and try to get myself in better shape. I've been wanting to do it for a while, but just never found the time.
I have a question that I would like an opinion on from some of those that have been through this. In the book and the 37 rules, it's says to stop saying "I love you" which I have done. But what about my wedding ring? I have continued to wear it because I am still wanting to be married, but does her seeing that have the same effect as saying "I love you?" Or what about photos of us, which I have kept out? I don't want to let go of these things yet as I still want things between us to work out, but I also don't want to negatively affect her when I see her or she stops by the house for something.
