My situation here is completely non-traditional. My first marriage ended when my ex cheated on me so many times that he lost count. When he refused to give up his hookers, I left him.
I married a man who was completely devoted to me and my kids. But then he had an affair. He was remorseful (unlike my ex) and we are working on things. There are days when I hate him so much for what he did that I want to leave. But then there are good days. I've set a deadline date and if things are drastically improved by that date, I will leave him. If things are better, he will propose again and we'll start over, celebrating a new anniversary each year with a new wedding ring.
Today is one of those days when I really need to think about things in a positive light. Because our situation is so untraditional, I want a ring that is completely untraditional (I sold my ring after his affair). We can't afford something huge and fancy, but I don't want to go cheap... I need him to financially invest in me again. I'm thinking around $4000.
I'm a bit of a nerd/geek/book-lover, so I've even considered geekery-type rings. I am just f'ing sick of being betrayed by the men I marry and I want a ring that will NOT remind me of that every.f'ing.single.day.
Help??
