Sunrise I am so very sorry for what you are going through. That sounds so amazingly difficult.

I wonder if you should tell your ex how you feel about his asking for the ring (?). And yeah I can definitely see avoiding the penny war. You don't want to get into that. But that must have really hurt. Remember that sometimes people (guys especially) don't view the symbolism of items with the same intensity that others do. But that does sound really hurtful. I'm sorry you've had to go through that.

I'm sorry T's away. I hate it when mine is gone too. He will be back soon. You can talk to us on here until then. But I know how that feels. My T was gone away for a week on a cruise just 2 weeks ago (same week I first started my job), and it was so scary to know that he was gone. Maybe you can squeeze in an extra session once he's back.

Take care,
Sidony
