barely holding on - 3

[u-turn]

If all works out in the end for us - I can see a new marriage, new vows, new rings as well. If it gets to that.

When she took hers off and put it away, she said she won't wear it again until it's real. It was another hit to me, but I understood - at least she was honest enough with me to not fake that this is a real marriage right now. I look for her putting it back on as a sign that she is ready to work again.

I kept mine on as a sign that I am still fighting for us. I have been frustrated with the fight recently - that is why I thought about giving it back to her.

ahoy & rppfl - thank you for your perspective.
