When to remove wedding rings

DH has left. He admitted early Jan to an affair that had been going on for about 9 months. I have mediation booked in two weeks. Hoping he will agree on plans with the two DSs and the house. I'm desperate to stay with the boys.
Can I ask people who've been through a split like this, when they stopped wearing their rings? I'm tempted to take them off today but even though it's permanent it feels odd. Also the boys will notice. Will that make them sad (sadder??) that their dad isn't ever moving back in??

Thanks all for your honesty. The rings are off. Feels weird going cold turkey. Thought about putting one of my cocktail rings on that finger just to keep something there. ... might do that tomorrow so it's doesn't feel so 'naked'.

I think that's a lovely idea OP to put something of your own there. Maybe even treat yourself to a new ring (within affordable means of course). All the best x
