Jerri, I'm glad you are going to seek the advice of another attorney. Sometimes it's best to listen to more than one in order to see what you have ahead of you. Get your ducks in a row, your questions down on paper and be ready to discuss your situation with the new one.
As for your h, he really didn't expect you to be friendly or to inquire about him. The 180 scared the heck out of him. Also, they become very paranoid and if we are nice to them, they think that we are going to screw them over. Just ignore the behavior. It's just emotionally nuts right now.
The way he is behaving is very typical of a man in crisis. The euphoria of the ow, secrets, etc. are driving this this affair. It will get old in time, especially when he doesn't have any more leave to take. It's the exact opposite of what they were like when they were with us. It's rather sad when you think about it.
As for wedding ring...the decisionis yours as to when you want to remove it.
Happy Mother's Day!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
