You know, I wonder, why was it necessary to take the ring _with torment_? Wouldn't sheer force suffice? Perhaps a common feature of the power rings was to be hidden to everyone and hold on to its master. [Gandalf maintained his ring, even though he was imprisoned by Saruman and even when reimbodied; Sauron too kept the ring to himself all the time, with the destruction of Numenor and whatnot; we could speculate about how Galadriel and Elrond kept their rings secret too...]

Yes, I see. I think most nazgul were both weary of the World and hating their current situation of new enslavement.
Perhaps, world-weariness also became much stronger, when they lost their Rings. After all, with the Elves, it were the Rings, wielded Rings, that protected the holders and their surroundings from becoming World-weary. And the main property of "ALL the Rings alike" was "preservation" after all. So, having surrounded their Rings to Sauron, the nazgul lost their only protection, much like Galadriel and Elrond were compelled to leave ME, after their Rings lost power.
