Steph,
Just to respond to what's been up on the boards...
I just got back so I read what you wrote.
Don't wear the ring. Every time you look at it, it will be miserable. I am sure it hurt like heck to put it away. You did the right thing. As for what to do with his stuff, he needs to come get it at a time where YOU are ready for him to be there. He DOES owe you an explanation. Has he said anything since? Are you two in contact? FB message me...but, you deserve an explanation because he left you with little to nothing.
Hang in there. You have all of our support. If you can work through this, I hope you do, and if you can't, and he let you go, you deserve someone who will stick by you and appreciate that relationship.
