Proper care and feeding of rings?

[stormkeeper_lovedoris]

Does anyone on my f-list wear a ring? The rings that Doris and I picked out should be ready soon, and I've never worn a ring that had a precious stone in it. I've heard that I should take the ring off when I put hand lotion on. What about when I wash my hands?

When do you take your ring off? What should I be careful of?

But we both love forest preserves, so I was hoping that I could present the ring to her at a secluded spot at a forest preserve and say a few words there.

How romantic! ::sniffle:: You're so awesome, Marianne. Doris one lucky woman! ::smile::

Thanks, hon, I am very aware to treasure every minute we have together because one doesn't know when it will be all over. Even the exchange of rings doesn't mean that someday she won't decide to bolt either. :-(

Ohhh, I totally didn't mean to bring you down, honey.

You didn't bring me down at all! Really, it's just the reality. A few years ago I was talking with an acquaintance, Ben. He said that even if someone gets married, it still doesn't bring any guarantees about the relationship. There aren't ever any guarantees that any couple will stay together forever.

I feel a huge amount of sadness and empathy over what happened with you and Adam. I realize it could happen to me too. It could happen to anyone. It's just a fact and I always try to stay aware of it, even long before Adam left.

Of course the fact also is that you may someday meet your (male) Doris. Perhaps Adam wasn't the one for you and the universe was clearing him out of your life so you can meet the one.

::shrug:: You know, after all of this bullshit, I'm in no hurry to find "the one". ^_^

*nods* That makes sense, totally. And really, many people love being single.

I liked it during much of my twenties. It allowed me to spend a lot of time on my friends and my interests. So perhaps a period of singledom is just what the doctor ordered for you.
