Here is why I bring up the ring.
In the DR book I was told to set small obtainable goals and they should be geared in the sense of "what would my W be doing that would give me sign things are getting better" (not exact). If she wore her ring more often or at all that would be a sign, to me, that things are improving. And here is why I say that...

Before I discovered the DR book and this forum I was in my pressure and pursuit phase. during the first few weeks my wife still wore her ring and then one day she stopped. After a few days of her not wearing her ring I asked her "Why don't you wear your ring anymore" and she replied "Because I am not happy with our situation right now and until I am I can't wear the ring" so I remembered this when it came time to goal setting. That for her to wear the ring would suggest that she is more comfortable with our situation which was ultimately a sign of things might be getting better.

I am just taking the small positives and posting the progress in our R/M. I am treating the forums as a journal of some sort and in this case it is public and enables feed back which I am grateful for.

What does FT stand for?
