Yep I know where you are comming from with the "ring thing"..
I too took mine off for a while and yes like you it was to prove a point to my wife about the affair. To Show the hurt she caused. I did place it where wife saw it and left it there for a few weeks. So I did prove my point but It also had the oposite affect on ME. It was a sign to myself that I gave up. I didn't want to go out GALing and have a wedding ring on.. I mean come on...How can ya flirt wearing that....Ok the OM had his on with my wife but I am not that kind of guy... Anyway I caught myself slipping away and put the ring back on. IT felt good... and it also showed wife that I was still there. it was not too late.
You are doing good, keep it up big guy...life is too short to sweat the little things......
