Hello Steph,

You won't believe it, but I'm doing exactly as you suggested, I'm going to work very nice dressed, with new jewelery; I look myself in the mirror and find myself beautiful. About going on dates with other males, Nah I don't think so, remember we are married, that won't be appropriate. I respect him, but I respect myself too much to do anything like that, I am really a good woman, too sad he can't see it.

About ignoring him, well I am also doing that, but not to make him wonder, its because I'm mad ( believe me is a lot better being mad, than being sad). Two days ago he went to my office to let me know he is moving from his place to a friend's place (of course I don't know even his friends name or where he lives). he always wants to move from where he is living, but I have my apartment, so he could easily go there from now until we find a bigger place to live, but obviously those aren't his plans anymore.

Anyways he called a co worker and asked for a tool to cut off his wedding ring, he showed it to me. the ring was all messed pressing his finger, he said he hurt himself with a hammer at work, and his finger was hurting, I don't know maybe I'm crazy, but I can't think of any way that using a hammer hurt the finger ring, more like it could be hurt the thumb or index finger, no the ring finger and not exactly where the ring is at the end of his finger, I don't know if you understand my point, I asked what he will do, he said probably fix it and if can't be fixed he will buy a new one. After that I felt I can't take any more of this, so I told him, he might cut off his ring and move with a friend, but I don't need to accept that, and I won't, I won't be with him, if he doesn't have a ring on his hand. since then I don't talk to him at all. I come in the morning and say "good morning" general to everybody, when he pass next to me I turn other way. I don't call him any more either, I'm a good woman , will be his loss.
