I took off his wedding ring

Today July 20, 2022 I took off my husbands wedding ring. I put it on him September 25,1993. I am having a hard time that I took it off.

This morning I went to see him. He was eating breakfast and has forgotten how to use utensils. It killed me to see him using his hand to gather hash browns and scrambled eggs and eat them. At one point the hash browns were gone so I rotated his plate to the eggs. He was completely confused. Eventually he started to eat them. When he was done I went to clean his hand and get the food off. It was then I noticed his wedding ring was on his right pinky. I didn’t think and just took it off. His left ring finger still has the impression of the ring he has worn for 28 years and almost 10 months.

This is another symbol, another hurdle of how he is leaving me. There were only two things there that were worth anything to me. First it is him. My husband. They guy I started dating as a 17 year old girl with no clue as to the world works. The second thing is the ring. It is and was a symbol of the love and commitment we have to each other. I know we are still married but to take the ring back hurts, it hurts a lot.

He has been having trouble recognizing me recently. This morningwhen he looked at me he simply said “I love you”. Then her proceed to tell he used to have a girl. But while I am wearing both his and my wedding rings, he told me he loved me and he hugged me. And that is what it is about.
