I was making dinner last night in the kitchen. I was singing and happy. I reached out for something and my wedding ring flew off my finger and out into the hall. Took me about five minutes to find it. I know I am losing weight but the ring is never loose. Maybe even God is dropping hints? PS. By the way yes, I do sing and can be happy in RL

Suppose you took that temporary loss as a "sign from above" what would be the consequence of leaving the ring off?
In my world the W has convinced herself that I do not wear mine because I am looking for a paramour. I have told her multiple times that I would wear it if she was my lover. Pisses her off every time.
On the practical side I have not snagged the ring on anything while working since I don't wear it.

Reminds me of a joke:
My life just hasn't been the same since that accident!
What accident?
The one where I got my finger stuck in that wedding ring!

I never wore a wedding ring until about 3 years ago. It was part of the agreement after she read all my emails and we agreed to stay together. I adore singing but am totally and utterly tone deaf. In my brain I have perfect pitch, can name any song. I can recreate songs and harmonies. But open my mouth and nada. So, I sing when alone for my own pleasure.

I used to sing to myself on random occasions, but I haven't done that in decades. It was sort of like talking to myself.

Was this unilateral, or were there conditions and promises to be met by both parties? If so, what is the compliance level after three years?

The agreement was I would stop emailing my American friends, leave Second Life and comit to the marriage. Or leave. I agreed and kept my promise. And miss my friends.

The agreement was I would stop emailing my American friends, leave Second Life and commit to the marriage. Or leave. I agreed and kept my promise. And miss my friends. Second Life can eat a marriage, I could see that. (never played, but I've heard.) What was the objection about American friends? Bad news, you have some more! And we are DEF a bad influence for your marriage. (in her eyes, no doubt) What did she consider "committing to the marriage"? You mentioned in another post that you were planning to take your own wants a bit more seriously. Maybe that's part of your singing again? Lessingham/Tamara68 duet, live on Zoom, coming soon.

What the consequences for no BJ's? Sex?

What the consequences for no BJ's? Sex? Right. It doesn't sound like a deal so much as a one sided mandate. Whatever it is, every day the participants choose to live under it, or not. lessingham , you need to dream a bit. Old folks homes are one of the places venereal diseases are spread. I say that as evidence that there are guys older than you getting their rocks off. It's not like shooting pool with a rope anymore. Modern medicine makes sex possible for as long as you want it. One guy I hung out with last summer was 74, now 75. His wife stopped wanting sex. He asked her what he should do, and, she still loved him and wanted to stay married, but told him to get it somewhere else. So, with all the older men dropping out he has five women on rotation. When I told him I wanted to be like him when I reached his age, he laughed and said there were guys younger than me that wanted to be like him right now. Your future isn't set. It is what you make of it. Find your happiness.
