Grace just wanted to say on the ring question, simply put go with whatever makes YOU comfortable. in the 10-ish months since my W left I've had my ring on, off, on, off. bottom line the only person who decides that is YOU. somedays I had mine off, sometimes on...let what your feeling in the moment guide you. some on here are more "you are still married, keep it on" others are less so. again what you feel comfortable with.
funny you bring it up, I've had mine off now for good for about 2 months or so, but for different reasons/thoughts/feelings there's been a part of me that recently wanted to put it back on even though my sitch as far as R goes is hopeless and I didn't even want to put it back on in hopes it will counter that. and if you flip flop back and forth, NO ONE but you has to understand why.
I'm very happy to hear about your GAL and totally agree with your thoughts on Thanksgiving. Even in the worst of times in life we have blessings to be thankful for.
