At what point during your divorce or separation did you stop wearing your wedding ring?

Mine was sort of an evolution after we decided to divorce.  I always took my rings off at night, so just not putting them on some days became easy.

I did sometimes decide whether or not I'd wear my rings during our divorce based on WHO I was going to be around... and whether or not I wanted to "go there" in the conversation.  Ya know, some days I just didn't want to talk about it, so wearing my rings helped to keep nosey people from asking questions that I didn't want to deal with.

By far, I didn't wear them far more than I wore them... but I was ready for it to be over and was the one who wanted out, too.

For me it was about a month into the separation. My STBX claimed he wasn't seeing OW and one night after my son's football game I found his car parked outside a bar and his wedding ring in the change tray of the car. He was inside with OW. I found out that he would only wear it around me, otherwise leave it in the car so it would always be handy! This made me gradually quit wearing mine. It's still a weird feeling sometimes almost a year later!

I took off my rings when I moved out of my ex's house.  He however took off his when he started his A.
