Sounds like your W is going through some tough stuff and you're bearing the brunt of this. Sorry to hear about the ups and downs; must be very tiring emotionally.

I would keep the civility consistent, and it's good that you're out GALing like gym and dance lessons. Just look after yourself and don't take any bait. One of the points in the welcome post is "don't believe everything they say or do."

Ring-or-no-ring is a tricky one. For me, I have kept my ring on in the usual spot, even though my D is going to be finalised in the next 2 months or so. My W would always forget to wear hers (which upset me but I never brought it up), and certainly hasn't worn them for the last 6 months. I did try not wearing it but it didn't feel right. I've just kept it on for now, but not sure what I'll do in 2 months' time, whether I'll move it to my right hand or not wear it at all. I don't really want to get rid of it or sell it though.

Post regularly and everyone here will help where they can.
