One less decision for me...

Found out that stbx pawned both our wedding rings. I guess I don't have to worry about what to do with my wedding ring now, huh?

I guess that's life's little way of saying, "Hey does this hurt? No? Well let me shove a little harder."

Well, that's another step completed in my master plan to phase myself out completely. ;)

Her claim is that we needed groceries more than we needed the rings. Of course, my reply was we needed to stick to our budget rather than have you overspend by $1000 a month for six months straight. I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

Ouch...so sorry Banana Man. Maybe it's time to think about splitting the finanaces if she's going to be so irresponsible with money??

I've already opened a second bank account that she doesn't have access to. I hated to do that but seemed to be my only option to get the money situation under control. I guess my problem with the ring is that, even with our situation, that ring still represented 17 years of my life.

Oh well, it's probably for the better.

I'm sorry, that sucked of her.

I can see her pawning her rings but she shouldn't have decided what to do with yours.

My stbx took my rings and said he was going to pawn them just for spite. My lawyer put a stop to that. He was to return the rings to me, or if he had already pawned them, he was to put the money into an account to be divided up after the divorce. He didn't sell them and I now have them. I was very upset when I had first found that they were gone.

Well, I knew she had pawned her rings a couple weeks ago (I won't lie, it kind of hurt). However, I had been keeping mine on my keyring and noticed it wasn't there this morning. So, yeah, it bothered me that she took it upon herself to rid me of said item.

She took your ring from you without you knowing or talking to you about it?????

HOLY. CRAP.

I do not know how you handled it, but I would have FLIPPED.

It bothered me when I finally got her to admit to it this morning (threatened to report it as a stolen item). However, the more I think about it and talk about it on here, the more I think it might just be time to go see a lawyer.

I can not even imagine that. I am truly sorry. A person is pretty low if they can do something like that. You really deserve so much better and I know you will get it. A friend of mine said it like this... "She wasn't the person, I thought I had." I think that sums it up pretty good. I am here for you, if you need to talk.

Your friend,

Lisa

It is amazing how low they will get. That is why as soon as I noticed mine were not in my jewelry box anymore, I called my lawyer. I don't ever plan on wearing them again, but I would like to hang onto them. I still have a ring from when I was engaged at 16. I don't ever wear that but it is tucked away. They do hold memories and even though we are ending, there were a few good times.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
