I'm glad the block party was not the same weekend as Retrouvaille. You talk about watching your wife dance as if you couldn't dance with her. Did she tell you not to dance with her? Who was she dancing with? That seems odd to me. Why couldn't you just get up and dance?
As for the rings. There are many reasons a woman will take her rings off. Sometimes our fingers get swollen and the rings feel tight. Sometimes I get a rash under the ring and can't wear a ring on that hand at all. Sometimes I just want to wear a different ring. My husband has never asked why I don't wear my wedding ring. But I can't imagine that he is spending any time thinking about it either.
Anyway, I think you will have a good experience at Retrouvaille and many of these problems will seem petty to you by this time next week.
