I took mine off and on when I kept getting close to my finding out the truth my wife cheated on me. When I came home to see her (I was in the field training), I had it on still. I continued to wear it here in Iraq until I learned she had lied to me yet again about seeing guys. It is on my dogtag chain and most likely will pawn it when I get back to Japan or the US, as I will with her rings. She does not deserve the rings, bc they repressent something that she didnt work for.
