Wow- congratulations on the steps forward you have taken. They are huge, even if you still have a long way to go.

Hopefully your wife will at some point realize that you are the prize! It sounds like she is in mourning for her lost relationship- and I am sure you are scared for what would happen in OM came back into her life. I would be too.

But- at least she is joining you in activities- maybe this is her way of acting "as if". And she is trying on the rings.

Take care of yourself! And her- it sounds like she needs it right now.
