Thank you paclove on question what are you referring to when you say "I gave up s"

We are not wearing rings. I'm not sure if she ever felt it necessary to wear rings herself, but I always told her that it was not a big deal for me. She was working and getting tips so she always said it was nice not having a ring and that may help with tips sometimes. I know she did wear it many times and eventually I put my ring on and wore it always.

I personally don't need rings to validate my marriage but I had a feeling she wanted me to wear it so I started to.

I am seeing a new job as a fresh start something to focus on and keep my mind off this using it as a distraction.

I met my W at my current job and we both still work there to this day. We have shared quite a few memories there. There are people that we both know that have only heard one side of the story and it's unfair to me and her that they will come up with conclusions based on one side. Now I can't go up to these people and start asking them what they have been told or start telling them my side out of the blue because I am supposed to be in the dark about them knowing. I'm actually very surprised that the information hasn't spread through to everyone, because when we got married that spread like wildfire and just started as a rumor we didn't tell anyone in the department where it spread from.

Regardless the memories are going to be there and I'm not super thrilled with my job. I like my co workers in my department and a few throughout. But I would really like to do something else. This other job is exactly the same so I'm not 100% sold on it and again if the pay isn't where I want it it won't be worth it. As much as I know there are people that may see me in a different light now. I do have a support system already in place there.

I don't have any pictures at work but at home I do enjoy looking at our wedding photo and other photos we have around the apartment. They always bring a smile to my face. Then again she brings a smile to my face as well when she is around.
