Re: the ring. I don't think it matters. I wear mine out of principle that I am not giving up even when things look down.
Listen to the advice on here: detach detach detach! It took me 3 months to get the point where I grew more comfortable with doing that. I wish I did it sooner.
Yep. I initially took off my ring (because I thought it would make H think that's not what he really wanted but it didn't work). My DB coach recommended I put it back on. I'll take it off, if ever, when I'm good and ready to. I'm not there yet
Stop talking about your M with your W especially until you have read DB/DR. That's for you - don't share it with her. Read it over lunch at work if you have to.
