Wow..that's some serious progress, Slow. I was catching up on the thread tonight and talk about miracles at Christmas, that's really a blessing. I hate you lost your ring but he could always get you a different one as a sign of leaving your old marriage in the past.
I wear my wedding band to Church on Sundays and I sit next to this lady that used to work with my Wife, who is a very sweet older lady. Anyway, I forgot to wear it running a couple Sundays ago and she grabbed my hand and was asked what happened to it. It was comforting.
Anyway, Slow, I would really take the opportunity to talk through things with him and go thru that piecing process but definitely ignoring his moods are a good thing. I have to do that with my W when she gets on her high horse...just ignore it.
I am really happy for you and the fact that all your patience is starting to gel for you.
NeedingMore.....the key with this stuff is patience....which is not easy, especially when it's easy to get consumed with anger and wanting to point fingers about difficult circumstances. Slow has really been and continues to be a great ally on here and I hope she does not disappear as things hopefully progress in the right direction.
