Just wanted to wish you a belated Happy Mother's Day.
You've been such a great mentor, you're almost like a mother to the rest of us! LOL.
Oh, going back to the ring thing...my W did where her rings before, but now has taken all of her rings off even the ones on her other fingers. All of this happened when she left the house during the separation.
I think the ring issue is a touchy one because it represents us as a couple. The ring was also a "sign" to other single men that she's a married woman. Without it, she seems to be saying that she's available. Which is something that I think she wants.
During Mother's Day, my W seemed pretty distant. In fact, several times, I thought she was going to get up and tell me she was done with the M and leave. Really odd.
I just got her a card, some flowers and a balloon that I gave her from our Ds and washed her car. She just acknowledged it with a "oh thanks for washing my car". Very unenthusiastically.
Was this all part of the depression you were talking about? This walking on eggshells around her is driving me nuts!

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
