You can totally make your own rules, change your own rules, they're your rules.
I just made the comment about it being your decision because I had lots of friends and family commenting that I should take off my rings. I never did, I just never "got there" with it.
As with any sitch, everyone is your life has an opinion, but in the end, listen to your heart.
Interestingly enough, my H never took his ring off, even during all his antics. I don't know that I took it as any kind of sign at the time, but I was surprised.
