In CHL's case I am ASSuming based on something he told me that the fact that he took his ring off early last year meant a great deal. Even though at the time he had lost a lot of weight and the ring did not fit well, when he gained some of the weight back he never put the ring back on.
When I started getting to know him and going for computer lessons I did not wear my wedding rings as I had gained too much weight to wear them and my H had lost his long ago so as far as I know it wasn't a big deal to either one of us.
But CHL told me that was one of the first things that he noticed was that I wasn't wearing my wedding rings.
So I think it probably means something different to each of us.
