I got tonight and started working on making a big pot of tomato sauce so I'll have it around for future meals.
As I'm cooking, W pulls up with the kids and rings the doorbell. I meet her at the door and she asks if she can come in to grab a few things. She asks what my plans are for the evening and tells me that the cooking smells good. She wondered why I hadn't called her all day.
We just got a case of wine from our wine club, so she took her share of the bottles. I helped get the box into her car and then we said good bye. I initiated a couple of kisses and a hug before she left and then said goodbye to the kids.
I did notice that she isn't wearing her wedding ring band and wasn't the last few times I saw her. I know I shouldn't let it bother me, but it does. We're separated yes, but we are still married and supposed to be working on the R. The ring thing just really bothers me. To me, I see it as a conscious decision to not wear it... to not have that symbolism of committment... to look available.
