Having a date with someone other than your ex-wife after being a married man for more than twenty five years was an important occasion alright, but wearing a tie she bought with such strong emotional value attached to it was a form of cowardice, a subconscious reluctance to let go. Vann Chow
About This Quote

When an event or occasion occurs that is important to both people involved, it is often worn with strong emotion. If one person were to wear the item with which they were associated without feeling this strong emotion, the other person would feel that the person was being ungrateful. This would be hurtful. If that person then wore the tie without truly feeling it’s significance, they would appear weak and cowardly.
