Please to meet you LL.
I can relate to the pain you feel and how you are scared. We initiate the change in our M's by changing ourselves. then we wait though their skepticism as we wonder why it takes so long to accept our changes. Then one day, usually when we least expect it, they change and want the M to be right again. Then we become the the skeptics as we seem to have just a difficult a time accepting that they really want to come back. LL, basically the roles have been reversed and now it is our turn to work through our issues and given time we work through them just as they did.
About the rings, might it be that he is not asking because he doesn't want to pressure you, thinking you are not wearing them because YOU might be ready to? Perhaps, you might want to put them on in his presence, then he might interpret that as a sign that you are ready for him to come home. Just a thought. He might be hesitating because he may be picking up a vibe from you that he is interpeting as you are not ready for him to come home. It may be the both of you are waiting on the other to make the next move.
P.S. This post in response to yesterday's post. That is what happens when I go off line to write a resonse. Now I will catch myself back up with today's activity.
