Just responded to your post on GHs thread but now you really have sparked my curiousity about the ring...you indicated that you've lost it before for weeks at a time now that your M is falling apart you are consistently wearing it and she has noticed this...Do you take your ring off because of you work?
My exH always claimed that he had lost his several times and each time I replaced it, being a bit naive at the time until I finally found one of them sitting in the car ashtray...never bothered again. I realized it was just part of him.
Just want to clarify that this isn't some sort of power struggle between the two of you. Again your removal of the ring is up to you and the statement that you are making to her. She's already noticed that you are wearing it more now. It goes back to the WTH did it take this long for something to happen before changes are made that WAS seem to feel happens with an LBS. This may or may not be the case. But she is asking you for a D, what effect are you hoping to achieve by handing her back the ring? If she's asking for a D, seems to me she wants a D. Doesn't mean that she will feel this way tomorrow or the next, but today that is what she is thinking. By your removal of the ring, I would think she would feel that you were in agreement. I could be wrong of course. Just my thoughts.
