justice Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Everything is set for the move out of state. It's all packed up and ready to go. I decided to sell and get rid of most of my old furniture instead of moving it. Not only will it be easier this way, but I'll be ridding myself of old memories of my ex husband too. I think it's healthy. LOL, sold the water bed that we used to sleep in, and the bed I found out he had desecrated by sleeping in with the ow. No more memories to be brought about by that. It's gone just like my love for him has gone. Bought a brand new California King, Canopy waterbed in a dark mahogany. And hey, for the meantime I'll only be sharing it with my pomeranian, but at least she's loyal. Sold the diningroom table where we used to eat together. No more memories of special dinners I used to cook for him. Got rid of the livingroom suite that we picked out together when we were first married, looking forward to having a suite in my own tastes this time, perhaps something in a black leather sectional would suit me, and I'm getting a new diningroom set as well. I donated dressers and chest of drawers and some other items I had to a local abused women's sanctuary, I wish them joy of those things as I do not want them in my life anymore, just as I do not want my ex in my life. I see this as being affirmative action of my new life. No more bad memories. Only new fresh and better ones. Of a life I will make on my own without having to stress and worry about if anyone is lying to me or cheating on me. And no more memories of the one who did. My point is this, if I can do it, the others out there that are now where I used to be, can also do it. Don't give up hope and find strength in yourself. Reinventing yourself can be a very fulfilling and uplifting experience. You are alot stronger than you think, just don't give up!!
FloraPost Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Here's a question though, what did you do with your wedding ring(s)? I'm well on my way to moving on but those rings just sit there and I don't want them but don't want to be hasty. They aren't really worth much so I can't imagine getting anything for them if I tried to sell them. With so many divorces in America, isn't there a place to somehow recycle old wedding rings?
Author justice Posted June 20, 2008 Author Posted June 20, 2008 I took mine and had them melted down and made into a ball and chain with diamonds in the ball to remind me of my experience and to think twice should I ever consider getting married again.
FloraPost Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 What a great idea! I think I'm going to think about what shape I'd like to have them in... A tombstone? a crown of thorns? Ooooo....! I'm gonna have fun thinking of this one! I've only got one small diamond but a lot of gold. I'm gonna come up with something... Thanks justice!
