Isn't it amazing what a powerful symbol that one piece of jewelry is? Now that my husband and I are seperated (but still living together), every time I put it on I feel like I'm "telling a lie to the world". Yes, we are still married, but because he broke his vows, I feel like there's an invisible crack in the band.

I am so sorry your husband is causing you pain Sabby...it never ceases to amaze me how easily, suddenly and painfully marriages end. I can't believe I'm in that position myslef...

Keep the ring, when you come through the pain, there will be some good memories to think of when you look at it I'm sure. I'm trying to remember the good over the last seven years, and I see my ring is as reminder of those times. Our husbands are the ones who lose in the end, we grow stronger, they continue on in the same way.

I wish you strength and most of all PEACE.
