Yeah, that was good for him to have another taste of reality with this whole situation again with you not wearing your ring (whether it was intentional or unintention).
It's good too that you are being able to find a little hope again. There is still no way to know which way this is all going to go, but he is showing some small signs of progress. And at this point, since he does think you're distancing yourself from him, the email is probably a good idea to let him know where you stand. It's going to be hard to write though, b/c you're going to have to find a good balance of letting him know how you feel without being mushy or pushy but still showing your feelings. Very Difficult! I really suggest you start on it now then and really take the time to read and reread it, to make sure it's exactly what you want to say. I think we only get these changes every once in a while, so we need to make sure to make the most of it! (If we were sending emails every day or every week, it wouldn't have the same impact as an occasional email/letter full of thought, so you've got to take advantage of these changes).
Interesting too about the OW (or lack of OW). Hard to say though what the reality of it all is. I noticed H did the same thing, about keeping things "cleaned up". Does that mean that there are no OW's or he's just learned his lesson about leaving evidence? I hope it's not the 2nd (for either of our cases), but we also need to make sure we don't get the wool pulled over our eyes either. Interesting too about the living situation at his parents. It's going to be interesting to see what he decides!
