Congrats! A nice example of getting back to the guy you used to be and reconnecting with the hobbies and activities that make your life your own.

Who cares why she wears it, or if she wears it? Wondering about that is the opposite of detaching. I went through this myself: after dday I stopped wearing my ring and once my W noticed she would occasionally do the same (my sitch: 3 year old PA just revealed in Sept, W does not want D but I am done with her wayward lifestyle). Suddenly I found myself wondering if she was wearing her ring, especially when she was going out. Was she leaving it at home to mess with me? Or so she could appear single when out and partying? I was living in her frame, not my own. Once I read more about detaching I stopped obsessing over it and have since left it alone.
