barely holding on - 3

[Old Dog]

I took my ring off for a few weeks even before bomb day. Things haven't been good since November: I had been comfort eating and it was just a bit too tight but I still carried it around in my wallet. I thought what the hell, she doesn't seem to care.

Subconciously I think it was a cry for attention, but she never noticed, or if she did, she didn't say anything and may even have reinforced her belief that our relationship was heading south.

I had put it back on by bomb day and wear it still as a symbol to me that I'm not giving up.

I'm trying to rebuild a connection. I told her last weekend I don't want to creep around the elephant in the room on all the broken eggshells, we have to learn to communicate again.

I keep looking at yours and dawgy's threads. I wish I had something more useful to say: it might even help me but for now all I can do is offer support. Keep on keeping on.
