I dated
bobby for a whole month and he cheated on my and broke my heart. Then a week later he tried to get back with me and I almost bought his
bullshit. And mow to make sure that can never happen I locked my wrist , so i just need to see it and remember hes a total
scumbag/
After my
divorce, it just seemed natural to have a locked wrist, it was just to painful to think about moving on right now.
The months after we buried Ann, looking down to see my wedding
band wasn't something that helped, a friend suggested , I consider removing it but that didn't feel quite right to be bare when my heart wasn't free. I had never heard of the concept of a locked wrist and of course was skeptical, but now I wear a stainless steel ID bracelet with an engraved lock on one side and Ann's name on the other, it helps me cope.
