So I could use some insight/advice from more seasoned members.

1. When my wife tells me what I want/need or what I am willing/not willing to do, what is the proper way to respond? Should I validate her feelings while avoiding confirming her beliefs? Sounds tricky, especially when the discussion may be unexpected and moving rapidly (her pace, not mine). For example, she tells me she is not what I want, that I need to find what I want. The whole thing is absurd. Or she says I don't really love her. I hope it is bad mind reading on my part, but I can't help but wonder if she isn't really speaking about herself.

2. What is everyone's wedding ring sitch? My wife stopped wearing hears since BD and it upsets me, but I have never said anything. I continue to wear mine and I know she notices. It means something to me.

3. It won't be long before the holidays are here. What would be DB/DR? Mail her a card? A gift? Do nothing? Call her on Christmas and just wish her a nice day?

TIA
