I'm taking off my ring April 9

[AmyBel]

You are right! We failed this morning. But she is now OUT of the house. I will only see her at my grandmother's memorial service for 1/2 hour. (really couldn't enforce that boundary,that would be unfair, but she is NOT going to the family gathering afterward, just the formal ceremony.) And that is it. We will NOT ACT MARRIED! (can you hear me yelling that at myself?)

Ummm. Is this where I say: when she asked for a hug should I have said no? (embarrassed grin)

We have the assignment from the MC to list what "trial separation" means and to agree to those things (separately list them, together agree) So I'll have a clearer idea when I sit down and write it all down.

More than happy to hear suggestions... (the ring thing was brilliant, I'm good with symbolism!)
