The rings are trivial...a lot of people don't wear their rings. This is going to eat you alive if you don't get it out of your head....your mind will start running around scenarios of WHY he has it off...take yours off! Set it up somewhere where he might see it. But, going dark a little...good plan. My EX was cordial with me before we got D'd.....bothered the hell out of me....but I let it go.....ya have to! It will drive you bonkers!
