Me and him had gotten matching rings, I can't take mine off and I don't know if I'll ever be able to. Everything feels like so much and I'm struggling to sleep without constant nightmares of him and things that could've ended better, if I had just been better for him. I miss him, so much. How am I meant to cope/deal with this when my one coping mechanism is sleep and I can't even do that?

it shows how much you cared. Please don’t blame yourself for how things ended.
It’s okay to hold onto the ring for now if it brings you comfort.
I’m so sorry you’re strugling right now. It’s okay to hold onto the ring if it feels too hard to let go. Healing doesnt have a timeline you don’t have to rush
I can feel the pain in your words I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s okay to miss him and to feel overwhelmed.
It’s okay to feel like you’re not ready to take the ring off yet.
It’s okay to hold onto the ring for now if it brings you comfort. Healing takes time it’s not your fault things ended the way they did.
I had this thing and it was some time ago in my earlier relationship. He got rings for us matching ones, silver though not gold and we were very off an on .. i would take the ring off... one time i threw it ... he got me another.... made me sit on his lap as i cried and put a new one on. eventually it did not work out. His parents hated me.. and they believed in some tantric stuff and their kind of Shaman or Guru whatever said I am a witch and Ive ensnared their son .. give her some money and take the ring back to get her out of his life... so he succumbed and he asked for the ring and he told me all this ... I was so heartbroken and sad and hurt and angry and I was also broke... I wanted to move on...leave his town..we were supposed to get married and I lived far from my folks just to build my life with him. I took the money... this ws years ago... it was peanuts ... i just wanted to shame myself so that i leave because it was a whole bad energy... I did never fully get over the guy I dunno. He was just fun...he was emotionally available when he was around..lol..he went missing a lot... he was into substance..i left the bad habits when i left him... smoked cigarettes now and then and quit that too..i do feel these material symbols like rings bind us somehow...so hope u find ur answers...rooting for u
Do you feel like taking the ring off will somehow help you move on? If yes you should try that if not for all the time then just tiny bits of time to begin with.
