Thanks Cristy. I feel very fortunate to have found this community. Instead of talking to her, I have a place to go to get stronger and understand things.
I am actually proud of how I handled the ring talk. I'm ok with her not wanting to wear them. If things end with us, I will not be happy about it, but I will be ok. If after accepting both of our failures and deciding we want to make it work, then I would be happy to get new rings (for me too) as a statement that this is something new.
She said last night that she would not be ok with me finding someone else. I just left it open ended. That's not what I WANT, but the reality is that I would move on in my life if my W doesn't want to reconcile.
