..see, this I don't get at all. The ring means something to her, but what? It represents the commitment we made to each other "for better or worse", the commitment she's decided to break. And yet, it's precious enough to save for D5? Why? If the ring means enough to her to save it for sentimental reasons (as opposed to an investment) why not tap into those emotions a little further and make an attempt to reconcile the marriage? These are questions I didn't ask her, and never will.
It's confusing as hell, isn't it? My XW cried when she took her ring off, kept it (don't know if she's gotten rid of it by now, doesn't really matter) kept the big framed photo I gave her for our 1st wedding anniversary (wedding photo with her, me, and D), and actually kept her wedding bouquet. She lost some jewelry in the house somewhere while moving and said she was sad about it because D and I picked it for her at Christmas two years ago.
