Sounds like you have a pretty good IC, with some keen insights. I agree that her anger over your ring removal was exactly what the IC said. That is a good sign if R is still your goal. However, I do think that she is open to a Plan A. I know in my sitch I feel that if a solid Plan A had come along (and my wife's EA AP was NOT a solid Plan A) she may have jumped at it.

It does kind of hurt to look back and realize that we may still only be together because nothing better materialized before I was able to burst her fantasy bubble and bring her back to reality. But that's what I have to face. I think that if it ever happened again I will be much better equipped to kick her to the curb in short order.
