And you would remove your ring now why? I think you're reading what we're saying, you're acknowledging it, but you're not understanding it. Removing your ring to "wake her up" falls under that "illusion of action" that Steve mentioned. If you are completely honest with yourself the only reason you would remove it right now is you want to get some kind of reaction out of her, you're hoping it'll snap her out of it but it won't. You're also worried it will trigger a negative reaction from her which is why you came here to ask about it. Leave it on. You've got to focus your attention elsewhere, all this attention on W is just driving her farther away.
