My W took hers off soon after the S, wore it a couple of times while visiting relatives that didn't know our sitch but hasn't worn it since last fall. Hurt like hell for a while but I got used to it. Sits in the original ring case in our medicine cabinet.
I finally quit wearing mine about two weeks ago for two reasons. First, the M we had is over. Hopefully we forge a new one and I do see a lot of hope for our sitch. Second, and more practically, it doesn't fit me anymore since I lost 15-20 pounds. Don't want it flying off my hand as I'm walking.
W has noticed but not said anything directly. She has, however, commented that she hopes that if (when) she wants to get back together that I haven't moved on by then. Said this a few days after I stopped wearing the ring. Coincidence I'm sure.
