I wanted to start this by showing my wedding ring on my finger, but apparently I can’t post pictures here. I’m a happily married guy of 30 years. The only time the ring comes off my hand is if I’m doing something messy, like working on my car or preparing food. Over the years, I’ll occasionally see guys I know who are married who don’t wear their rings. I always assumed it’s because they are unhappy in their marriage. But, I didn’t really notice it until after I retired. I’m working part-time now with some people I’ve previously worked with over the years. All 5 of us guys are married, but only 2 of us wear our rings. I’m sure you’re thinking “why don’t you ask them”? The reason is because these are “work friends“, and the status of our marriage has nothing to do with work. I don’t want to alienate anybody, especially because I’m happy to have this part-time job. I assume that many guys who are happily married have a reason for not wearing their rings. My job is automotive, and there is work we do under the hood, so I assume that’s at least part of it. But, most of the time we’re working on calibration, and other things that don’t involve getting your hands dirty. I’d love to hear from guys who don’t wear their rings who are happily married. I know that I shouldn’t assume these are guys who want to cheat on their wives. But, I’m afraid other people who see this are thinking exactly that. submitted by /u/Difficult_Item9836
