Thanks Song that does sound much nicer - probably would've gained a little respect from the W saying it like that.

It was a loaded question: there is almost no answer that you could have given that wouldn't be seen as pursuit. She has already taken her ring off; hence by acknowledging that yours is staying on, you are both 1) making her feel guilty for removing her ring and breaking her M covenant, and 2) that you are still trying to work things out in contravention of her wishes to end the M.

Your answer, and songs' were both ok, but I don't think there was a answer that you could have given that would have been positive.
