You are not alone. I swear your W and I think alike man. My W's ring has been off for two weeks now. It's probably best not to ask her. I asked my W and the answer was not good she said "I will wear it when I feel like it". So I let it go.
So for two weeks I wore mine thinking I could shift her mind. So that didn't work, so I took mine off and its been 3 days now. It does feel weird not wearing a ring.
Regarding the journal you read, I agree it could've been a lot worst.
Hang in There DM.
