I wouldn't have mentioned the ILY - that's bound to put her on the defensive. Then you criticized her for 'not being truthful', further putting her on the defensive.

Trust me brother - I do that ALL the time and don't really see it until later.

On the wedding rings - I've been advised by many to NOT bring it up. My W started wearing them less and less until Bomb time, then not at all. A few weeks ago they disappeared from her jewelry box. I'm assuming she put them in the safe, but I ain't gonna ask her about it!
