When my W left, I was determined to keep mine on until the D was final. She took hers off shortly after she moved out. I finally took mine off after being separated for 8 months. I had decided to "drop the rope". Not for her, but for myself. Not having it on felt really strange, having worn it religiously for 19 years. But after awhile, I got used to it.
I'm pretty sure she noticed it off. Seeing that, along with my attitude change, may have been what made her rethink the whole D thing. Anyway, 6 months after I took mine off, she came back. I still didn't put mine back on for about 2 weeks. In the back of my mind, I just didn't know if it was a temporary thing. Well, it's been 7 months and we are still together. We both have our rings on. Hopefully, we'll never have to take them off again.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
