Just an update...My W did decide to go with me to my work gathering. My W did wear her ring. I said nothing about. At times she seemed miserable and I made the mistake of saying "what's wrong? you sound miserable" and she said "I can show you miserable." I said nothing further and changed the subject. From what I observed she enjoyed herself. I said somethings that at the expense of my co-workers and she had a good laugh. Some of my co-workers would say things like "You two got to come do this with us sometime" and started to invite us to future outings in which I had no reply because I did not my W to think I was looking forward to a future between us overlooking the situation.
I said to her after we left "I hope you had a good time" and she replied she did.
She was short with me at times and very distant.
