Sometimes we have to take a break from the forum to recharge our batteries. You might need to do this if you feel that the forum is a painful distraction for you.
As for the ring, wear it when you want to and if you don't want to do it, then don't. That's a choice you make for YOU, not for him or as a tactic to get him back.
Learn to do things for YOU, not to get his attention or a reaction.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
