I'm sorry to hear the situation that brought you here, having a baby on the way and a H out the door is tough. Its been a while since I've been on this side of the forums but I somehow found your thread and just wanted you to know not to give up posting, the people here can be a great support and it sounds like you have a good coach aswell. Sometimes posts go down a page or two and get lost in the sea of posts. Keep posting and you'll find the right people to connect with, some may surprise you and end up being long term friends. Having support from people you can relate to can be powerful.
You'll hear many different opinions on what to do, in the end realize its your decision and whatever the choices are yours to make. i'm not going to tell you the secret answer that fix your M, because honestly a quick fix just doesn't exist. People leave and more often than not, they never come back. That doesn't mean give up, just accept the reality that could be there.
Use this time to focus on you, search out any areas you wish to grow and direct energy there. Time really is a gift even if it doesn't feel like it. Find your passion in life, decide what you want to accomplish. The GAL is a great start, keep it up.
As for the pictures and ring. If the pictures are too painful to keep up, take them down. If the ring doesn't feel right, take it off. Do what feels right for you, not what you think will mean to him. Some people decide to keep the ring on until they've accepted things are over, some stop wearing it right away, some keep wearing it until they divorce or reconcile. Theres really no right or wrong answer. Stay strong, life gets exponentially better if you decide it to do so.
Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be
