#Personal (don’t blame you if you skip) I’ve started wearing a wedding ring again, even though I’ve been married for close to 7 years now. Here’s the thing: I was married before, and we got married our last semester at university. That marriage did not go well. We split before our third anniversary and were divorced just after our fourth anniversary. I was devastated. Now, like I said, marriage 2 is approaching 7 years (in July). I’ve been reluctant to wear a ring for the simple reason that I wasn’t sure this one would be different. I was scarred and scared. But I realize, that while not perfect, I am happier and better off in marriage 2 than I ever was in marriage 1. And I want to celebrate that, and share it with those I meet, if only through the presence of a ring. Side note: I wear a silicone ring, not a metal ring, because of sensory reasons and comfort. I just ordered some new rings I think I’ll like to mark the celebration. Also, totally ok to not wear a ring if they aren’t your thing. I find most rings ostentatious as it is.
