tyler, sounds like you are getting great support here and advice, and that's also why I am on, --thinking like most of us, to hang in there, and keep getting stronger.
your question on rings, reminded me of my own sitch. H and I both removed our rings,even before our S, we did not wear them daily, but did when we went out. We both have jobs where any jewelry can interfere. But when H & I seperated, his wedding ring sitting alone in his jewelry box really hurt me to see. I inserted my own ring into his, and let them sit together in my jewelry box. But I never did mention his taking it off---thinking it would be another huge R issue. It was obvious that while we were seperated H would not wear it, but It was very comforting to me to see them resting together quietly. good luck
