DW she wasn't likely joking at the time she has been likely thinking about this for many years. As for the ring my question is what does the ring mean to you?
My ring symbolizes the fact that I am committed to my marriage and have no intent at this time to move on from it. Removing it helped me with attachment issues at the time that I no longer believe are an issue. I think wearing it again may indicate to my W that I am still attached, which I suppose runs counter to DB principles. Thinking through it now, I suppose since I took it off, I should keep it off. Losing weight and not wearing a ring usually only means one thing, which a few people have keyed in on already, but I’ll just let it play out I guess.

I plan on speaking to a lawyer in a few weeks once our schedules cool off a bit. Work and home are pretty busy, but I will definitely reach out to schedule an appt. I’m not super concerned about big purchases, but the nickel and diming of unnecessary things while our credit card debt has slowly increased has been a bit frustrating. I wish I had been more vocal about it 3 months ago, but the advice I got at the time was to ignore money issues because it would have led to unnecessary arguments. Right now feels like the right time to address it. And I agree with the % of money made split. That’s what I’ll shoot for.
