Keep Wearing Wedding Band? [Thread #6]

[Jrnymn]

Hello,
my WW had PA EA with another man 2.5 years ago. She has not only taken hers off but wears other rings on other fingers of that hand. Totally screwed the kids up since the ring was always SO important to her. I have never taken it off unless construction made it unsafe since the 2.5 years ago. At first I did it for her to know I had truly forgiven her, then I did it for me because it felt weird off and made me think of why it was off more than healing and why I wanted to have it on, then I did it to remind me that no matter what someone else does, I can be who I want to be. I am committed, honor my promise to her and need to stay true to my beliefs until I'm not married. We still haven't told the kids that she filed for divorce, they know they are so much smarter than she thinks, and they see her manifesto every day. I had taken it off to work on a construction job and went to pick up my oldest from school. She saw that t was off and not being surprised that I had it off asked me. I told her why and then I put it on. I then said, maybe I should take mine off. It just doesn't have any meaning anymore. My child told me. You have always taught us to be who we wanted to be no matter what. That isn't you is it dad. Then I wore it for them, to give them a constant of truth since that is what it had meant in our family. Now that she is figuring out how to leave, goes out to party looking sexy, etc in front of everyone, I wear it because I need to be the best me. I don't believe in this divorce because it is just happening for stupid reasons. I don't need to advertise that I am a free agent yet. I probably will wear it after the divorce for a bit for the same reason. Not sure.
