or, "My Sore Spot"
If your wedding ring set reminded you of bad times in the marriage and the inscription read "love and trust forever" when he had cheated and you wanted to start anew, would it be in bad taste to ask your husband for something different to mark the beginning of a new beginning?
As I said in the entry before this one, I had asked him to "blow my mind" before I were to return to the marriage and to live with him again. I clearly remember thinking and (I thought anyway) telling him to load up on the romance. Anyway, I guess to men, the message women have sent them through the ages is that romance = money. Or something like that?
So I found out what my husband was about to get me was not only the same exact wedding ring set he bought for me 10 years ago, but A BIGGER version of it... Indeed! I would now have to look at the same thing as before, at twice the size, and possibly with a message inside that said "romance and money forever"? I just wanted some emotion, something from the heart... those are the things that come for free.
I'm not comfortable with him spending gobs of money to repair the damage done, so I'm nervous about our trip to Tiffany's in Cincinnatti tomorrow. Although I do want to have a nice heirloom in our family to pass on, I really want something that I will look at to relive the turning point in our lives. The pinnacle of what we've worked for, the final answer to the question "WHY DID I MARRY HIM??"

Same thing I said before the ring is just a token and will not really mean anything to you. I know you Gabe and You my friend are one of the most UNmaterialistic people I know...even though you have plenty of it ($) it does not own you and never will........that is one of the things I like best about you...you always look out for others first (and have ALWAYS been there for me). Any of your friends will agree with that. Just look out for yourself for a change. HUGS, Patti
