LL, my response may have sounded a bit harsh! I just don't think when someone says they want out, whether they actually do or not, that it is of any value to ask "why" when she takes her rings off. Her words u[ to this point have been pretty consistent, where's the confusion? Are you supposed to become some Alpha male and demand she put them pack on? Demand she file for D if she's not wearing the rings? What's the point in addressing it at all? If she's fishing for reaction, then again, why give it to her? My point is to just carry on with whatever DB plan you have in place, don't let her sidetrack you with her petty nonsense. Now that said, if you see bringing it up with her as "doing something different" and see some use, then go for it. I'm just leery of asking a question which has an obvious answer, especially when you won't like that answer (regardless of how true it may or may not be). Just my humble opinion.
