Why did you put a wedding ring on in the first place? If he is moving home then aren't you two trying to work/save and heal your marriage? If you can't decide on what to do about wearing wedding rings then your better find a great MC to teach you two how to communicate. To reconcile you two need to be all in.


Like I said earlier, I am very lost right now. I have set myself up to work the DR principles and now he wants to come back. I don't know which way to go. Should I be loving, attentive, affectionate, etc or do I continue to give off the appearance that I am okay and 'done'? The latter is what I have been doing before he came back. I removed my ring the day after he informed he that he removed his. It felt silly wearing it and saying I was committed when he so obviously wasn't. So, in the situation now where he is willing to work on things and wants to come home, is it okay to say 'we both need to wear our rings again if we are truly working on our marriage.'

Oh, and is it okay if he comes home now? I would love to have him home for the holidays. Plus it would be so much easier to work on our M with him here. He lives 45 min away right now so time together is scarce.
