Not the Valentine's I expected

His wedding ring was sitting on the bathroom counter. Not sure why I didn’t think about that. Seeing it sitting there all alone, on the counter, discarded like an old penny. My heart sank realizing that the end of our marriage is really happening. Everything seems so sudden and so permanent. Permanent well it is, our marriage is officially over. I’ll be moving my belongings out next weekend, haven’t been back since Vegas. My dog is now his, my former life seems so like an old calendar written with appointments, birthdays, memories that I no longer fit into.


4 years of my life, a year of marriage and like that is over. I know we are doing the right thing. Well I know I am doing the right thing, we weren’t happy. This isn’t what marriage is about or like.  You should be happy, and we weren’t. I love him, I truly do, so much so that I am letting him go to find that happiness he deserves. I feel confident about that, I feel like we’ve made the right decision, so why does seeing that lonely wedding ring on the bathroom counter make me heart drop?
