you women who have husbands that dont wear their rings are kidding yourselves. the ring is removed to appear available. they are hoping someone will be interested.

the only thing i ever wore was a watch. i have no interest in jewelry. but the ring stays on my finger and i dont notice its there.

What if the man doesn't go out anywhere the opposite sex frequents or anywhere he can seem "available"?

You mean like business trips, the store, the library, your kids' soccer fields, the neighbor's home, the office, the doctor's office waiting room, and clothing stores? Those places?

Let's face it people, especially men, are interested. We're interested because we're human. Doesn't mean we'll act (some of us can't afford it) but we're interested.

Any guy who doesn't admit this is either unhealthy, gay, or lying.

"Allergies aside, a good explanation for some people’s reluctance to advertise their marital or relationship status is that they are still (unofficially) on the mating market and want to keep their options open. Many married men and women who engage in extra-marital affairs, of course, are happy to wear a wedding ring, only to take it off before they go to a party without their spouse."

No I mean like my father has been legally blind and not able to drive for a long time. He works from home, but cant drive.

I also know several men who are not able to drive for various other reasons, seizures, handicaps etc.

Right, my husband is really on the prowl out there in the oilfield or on an oil platform, trying to look available! He doesn't wear one while he's working - which is two weeks out of every month. The other two weeks he's home and when he gets home he slips his ring back on.

It works for us. I much prefer him with all his fingers attached.

OK, there's always the 0.0001% of people who are exceptions.

And legally blind doesn't mean blind.

My dad never wore a ring so it's not unusual to me. He performs surgery regularly, sometimes without much notice, so I guess it would be too much of a hassle taking it on and off and keeping up with it.

Blind-as cant pass the eye exam to hold a drivers licence.

So its okay for those people not to wear wedding rings?

There are a million other exceptions to the rule as UnexpectedError and Kathryn point out.

Some people are paranoid I guess. I wouldn't care. If someone is going to cheat, a band isn't going to fix that problem. I know plenty of women who seek out men with wedding rings, and many men who oblige. A ring isn't going to fix a cheater.

I never liked sleeping with the ring on and would take it off every night. I lost it and never did quite figure out how I lost it. Its been about 4 years now and never found it. The only thing I can think of that could have happened is I set it down on some mail, newspapers in which it was snatched up and trashed. The wife was upset, but what to do? No way am I looking for another wife, you can forget about it, one's enough!! We celebrate our 30th next year.
