I don't think I would act on it because the last thing I want right now is to deal with another female. Also its a constant reminder of my goal.


This is a common problem that men seem to struggle with in these kinds of situations. I went through the same thing, and also asked for advice. I initially kept mine on after BD, as part of my trying to show strength and commitment. WW had removed hers after she moved out. I kept with it for a few weeks, then took it off and put it away, where it has remained. The overwhelming opinion in my case was that it doesn't make a lot of difference either way. If you want to wear your wedding ring, wear it. If not, take it off. It will have no impact on your sitch at all, just personal preference.
