That sucks. :-/ But I think this is one of the most important demonstrations of being true to yourself in a feminist way. I think it’s really admirable, actually. <3

*hugs Becky*

Sorry to hear it hasn’t worked out – but I think you’re right to take your own advice. Good for you!!

And hurray for finding your disengagement ring (what a great idea by the way – now that I’ve reached 23, I’ve started to be confronted by the pressure to find a husband and marry – both on myself and even more so on friends – for the first time. It’s pretty grim out there).

Hope is the hardest thing to let go. You hope he’s changed, that he’s learned, that it will be different, and even when you’re seeing evidence that he hasn’t, the hope keeps you trying. Realizing that all you have is a faint little hope, flickering, that you’re trying to shelter from the winds of reality, and then deciding to let it go out, takes courage. You’re going to be hurt and sad, and probably cry, but you’ll come out the other side stronger and more sure of what you really want and how to ask for it.

What a sucky situation.

But signs indeed! The next would have been a truck parked in your driveway with DTMFA emblazoned on the sides

When a friend of mine got divorced I gave her a ring to wear showing her new life. Instead of women just getting jewelry when linked with a relationship, I think it is very important for women to also do jewelry for independence, survival, and other things.

Becky, I’m sorry that the guy wasn’t what you, in your greatness, deserve. Hugs, and a drink in your honor.

(((((Becky))))))

So, so sorry to hear it. That really sucks, majorly. Sometimes life can’t get any clearer, though. You turned an awful thing into something beautiful. And you have your bling to show it.
