Yeah I completely understand your point. And I wasn't suggesting you take the ring off, there's not really a DB rule on that, it's really kind of "do what you feel is best for you" in that case. I didn't have to deal with it because my ring had gotten really beat up plus it no longer fit so I hadn't worn it in years. I was talking about your W's perception, which of course is going to be negative no matter what you do. Take your ring off and she'll be disgusted that "it's so easy for you to forgot the M", leave it on and she'll be equally disgusted that "you just can't let go."
