The ring thing was something I really wasn't sure about. On one hand for 10 months now I have stayed and supported W in every way, no matter what she said or did. Things got better than she comes back from her trip without her ring and smiled when I asked her why. I thought by taking mine off, I would show her I stopped fighting her. I actually miss wearing it. Only jewelry I've ever worn. Also, maybe a part of me wanted her think that there is a point to where I just won't stand back and take it anymore. Mostly first part, some 2nd.
Before she moved out of our bedroom this last time, she never touched me but would revive non-sexual back rubs from me when she was stressed badly. Now that has stopped. If she isn't wearing her ring, moved out of bed, I figured my touch is no longer welcome. I haven't asked her nor has she sent her old signals (she would never ask but would position herself in front of me in a way that told me "I want a back rub!"). Again, this stopped when dad entered the picture. One reason I haven't even attempted to do this is because I don't want to be seen as chasing her. Should I make an attempt to see if this would be welcome?
