Thanks for the input everyone. I am going to continue wearing my ring, because to me it still means a lot to me. I have worn it every day since we married, rarely taking it off. It just doesn't feel right (physically and emotionally) to take it off. It still represents the marriage that I still want.
I think I made a baby step last night in detaching and not persuing. W needed to pick up the old TV boxes that are in her name and wanted to stop by after work to pick them up. At the time I was at a bar with some friends watching the USA/Belgium World cup game. As much as I wanted to, I didn't run home to meet her so I could see and talk to her. I texted her back that I wouldn't be at the house but that she was more than welcome to go to the house and get the stuff (she still has a key since we own the house together). And that's what she did. Probably not a huge thing, but a step in the right direction I guess.
I've started working on GAL'ing. I've started working out again and trying to keep myself healthy, I've been hanging out with friends more, got some new books to read, and am going to try brewing my own beer, which is something I've always wanted to try. I am also a volunteer firefighter, so I've been spending a bunch of time at the station as well. Just trying to keep busy.
