This morning, I took my ring off, and I am fairly certian my wife didn't notice a thing. After last night's battle about how she told me she was going to put my ring back on, but now claims she never said that, I have had enough. The rings we wore were a symbol of love, devotion, and hope, and those things are obviously not there for her, and they are dwindling on my end as well. She came down this morning to talk to me (I am currently living in the basement), and could tell it had been a rough morning already, as is every morning right now. Not to mention every afternoon and every night as well. She said she was trying to be compassionate, but her voice was monotone, and everything I said was met with, "But you don't understand how I feel". I do understand how she feels, that doesn't mean I have to like it, or gladly accept it. I will have to accept it at some point, but not gladly, and I can't do it right now. 

She point blank asked me why I am fighting this. Not sure what she was looking for, but I told her I am fighting because I love her. She said she doesn't believe me, and that after talking with all of her friends, they all told her that if I loved her so much, I would have made better efforts to show her in the past, rather than now, when it looks like things might actually be over. Again, I reiterated to her that her friends will always back her, and mine will always back me, which has little to no relevance to anything. Don't know how I can let go, but I almost have no choice. I can already see the kids both gravitating towards her, which makes me wonder what she is telling them when I'm not there. My older son in particular says very little to me right now. So incredibly sad and depressed.
