My wife of 18 years had left me and filled for divorce. She was my high school sweetheart and I was devastated.
和我在一起18年的日子离开了我，我们离了婚。她是我从高中就深爱的人，离婚后我心如刀割。

I am a Christian and was hanging on to false hope that she would try to save our family at some point but she never would try anything - no therapy or anything, ever.
我是一个基督徒，所以我抱着虚妄的幻想，祈祷在某些方面，她会尝试拯救我们的家庭关系，但是她始终没有做过什么，破碎的爱情从来没有解药。

So, anyway, I was at my sisters wedding in Mexico and my mom (who has different values lol) was encouraging me to take my wedding ring off.
总之，当我在墨西哥参加妹妹的婚礼，我那有着和我不同价值观的妈妈，劝我把结婚戒指摘掉。

This was like over a year into the divorce and let’s just say my then “wife” had done a lot of unethical things in the divorce to take advantage of me.（this was like是什么句型，后面又为什么用祈使句）
离婚一年多了，我曾经的妻子做了很多关于离婚的不道德的事来利用我。

But: nevertheless I told my mom I was committed to wearing my wedding ring until the day the divorce was completed.
尽管如此，我告诉妈妈，我承诺会一直带这只戒指，直到整个离婚手续完成。（？什么婚离了一年，还准备再离一年？）

As I was saying that to her I was looking at and fumbling with the ring… and in that moment it literally broke off of my finger. Like the metal cracked!!
当我回答妈妈时，我一边看着戒指，仔细抚摸它…但是就在那一瞬间，它真的从我手指上折断了。就像金属断裂！

I took that as a sign that I should take it off and that my marriage was done, sadly. That was a couple years ago now. Definitely for the best.
我将这件事当做一个信号，这意味着我是时候去下它，并且在悲伤中结束我的婚姻了。那已经是两年前的事了。绝对是最好的。（最后一句是什么？）
