The problem is I am walking on eggshells. She has said some inappropriate, demeaning stuff to my kid (13) which I cannot allow to go on, and need to call her on it which is probably not going to go down too well and I have no idea how to phrase it. But as a father it is my responsibility to address it. Also I cannot afford to let her think she can call all the shots here. If I do that I feel it will upset the balance of things. Up to now we have always had a very equal and respectful relationship.
Big Question
As she doesn’t wear her ring should I take mine off too. Does she see the fact that I leave mine on as a sign I am pleading with her to stay. It seems she is very mixed up right now and I would like to make sure I send her the right signals. Appreciate some advice on this, it seems small but also very symbolic ( at least for me ).
When you talk to her about her demeaner to your kid, I'd be reasonable and respectful to her. Don't do what she did or said as she did to your kid. Be the better person.
As for the ring... My wife removed hers and gave it to me, as well as all the wedding stuff. I do wear mine, for myself, and for her and our marriage. It gives me a constant reminder what I am working for.
