But, I will take it easy and just relax and be happy that he is coming for a visit. Nothing heavy from me....I will listen and validate...Thanks for reminding me "I don't always have to roar!" I loved that!
I wish you the best of luck with your H's visit! Just be friendly... listen, validate, don't give advice unless he asks for it... put him at ease and try to have some fun! What kinds of things would you have done in the beginning of your R? And yes, no R talk unless he brings it up. If you start to lose your cool, excuse yourself to the restroom and get it back together.
As far as the wedding ring... I don't think there's a right or wrong answer to that. He'll probably notice, but wear it or don't based on how you feel, not for him or whatever impression he might get. Just for you. When I met my H last week, I wore my ring. But after he dropped the D bomb, I took my ring off and haven't put it back on. Doesn't mean I'm giving up, but our old M is dead. If we reconcile, it'll be a new M and I'd love to wear my ring again. But what you decide to do is completely up to you!
