But your favor of putting on her wedding ring, could be seen as controlling and I would just caution against requests such as this because it could push her away and undo some of the good that she has started to see.

I see your point ngs and it's a tough balance for me.

All my life I've been a doormat with the women in my life and I'm learning how to speak up for what I want and what's bothering me.

The way I see it, we live together, we share the same bed, we're representing being a married couple to our kids, our families, and to the outside world, we haven't decided on separating, and we've both agreed to attend MC sessions to work on our marriage.

Given all this I feel justified in my request for her to keep her ring on. Sure she might have taken it off as soon as she left the house. She might have even lied about meeting up with the girls and met up with some guy at a hotel. But I'm done making myself crazy with what-ifs. I felt it was important for me to let her know that it was bothering me.
