Recently I was asked about my wedding rings and at what point I removed them after things had fallen apart in my marriage. It was a subject that I hadn't talked about before and recounting the memories of that part of my life was painful. I had intended to wear my rings until the very … Continue reading Life After Marriage: Identity
