Thanks for the post because I'm really struggling with the ring thing.
On one hand, I'd love to remove it to show her I'm strong enough to be on my own. However, if I do this, what would my motivation be? For myself or to get her to react? I'm afraid it would be for the reaction.
On the other hand, I want to be committed to my marriage and show my committment by leaving my ring on. I think it is confident and strong, but I'm also worried it will paint me as a push-over in my W's eyes.
I guess my real struggle is do I really care what reaction I get from my wife or not? If I do care abour her reaction, then I'm not taking it off for me, but for her.
If I can answer this question, I should have my answer, I think.
