Keep Wearing Wedding Band? [Thread #2]

[RSG]

My W fits about 95% of Sandi's posts as WW. She was aggressive, fake cried to hit my emotions to get what she wanted, called me names, everything. The reason I believe the A has ended is not only the early July breakdown, but the way she talks to and treats me. It's getting better, softer, more respectful. She's not rebelling against me so much like before, it's more of against the status of W/Family. Thus, the new tattoos, hair and other forms of personal expression. She's a so-called free spirit....

She'll argue things with me, in a pretty decent way, but now that I stand up for myself again she backs down and agrees mostly. It's still mostly about her, but the Mom instincts are coming back and every once in a while she's decent towards me. Not to say sometimes THAT isn't for her either (ie be nice, DEMAND stuff in return) but treating me better than she has in a good while. I know I have got to continue NOT showing anger, or she'll bolt.

I feel like I have a frightened squirrel about 10 miles away, but it's so keen and scared any sudden movement will be spotted!
