The fact that she wants to be friends is great. You point out that she's not being a very good friend, but it doesn't sound like you are being a very good one to her either. A friend wouldn't hound her about wearing the ring. She gave you a valid reason why she didn't have it on, but you didn't let it go at that. You pushed her until she begrudgingly put it back on. If you keep up behavior like that, one day she's going to refuse to put it back on. I don't think that's what you want.

You also assume that her bad mood was because of you so you pushed her to talk to you about it. Back off.

I don't think that you should do the LRT. Many people jump right to it because they feel so helpless and lost. I don't think that you're at that point. You need to focus on being her friend. A good friend would help her through this rough time. You're going to have to suck it up and listen and validate her feelings. She's most likely going to say things that hurt to hear. Your job as a friend is to listen and validate. There will come a time when you can express your feelings to her. Now is not that time. Post how your feeling here and we'll help you work through it.

Most of us have to really work just to get to a place where our S wants to be our friend. It took me over two months and I know it's taken others even longer. Use this opportunity while you have it. If you keep pushing her then she's going to withdraw even more.
