Now, even if H does return to the M, I don't plan to ever wear that ring on my left hand. That M is done. A new relationship would have to take its place. If at that time he requests that I wear a ring, then I would need to have a new ring representing a new commitment. The old promises that came with my original ring were broken.
Ahoy, I like that a lot. I haven't worn my rings since DH rolled in at 6:30am the day before a family cruise. He had spent the night with OW, after having previously told me he had ended it. Those vows have been broken and trampled on. I like the idea of a new ring if the day ever comes that I should need one.
