week one of wife being moved out complete. I am doing OK. I took my wedding ring off mid week and it was like a huge weight off my shoulders. It just constantly reminded me of what was going on. She took hers off the day after she saw mine was gone. It hurt for about five minutes, but then I realized those rings did not keep her from moving out. I had nothing to lose by taking it off. Much easier to treat her as a woman instead of my wife. You don't do anything such as: show depression, point out her shortcomings, place blame, give sorrowful looks too, question decisions, whereabouts, things of that nature, to a woman that you want to impress very badly. (Without persuing of course). Seems to be working for me very well so far. At least my spirits are as high as they have been, even with her gone. It gave me a totally new out look. If her not wearing her ring causes the un-speakable to happen for her, that is her bad decision, not mine.
