So the hubs and i were watching The new show The Girlfriend Experience the other night and i noticed one of the guys take his ring out of his pocket and put it back on....... and i wondered why?  why would it matter if they leave it on or not, does it make it feel less like cheating if its NOT on? i was quite intrigued by this and had an interesting conversation with the hubs, as he doesn't wear one due to his fingers swelling, we got tired of cutting ring off and having it fixed, i asked him if he would have kept it on when he cheated or taken it off, and he said he would have kept it on...........so guys what do you do, keep it on or take it off, and why? im not judging just curious.

And I'll never wear another ring as long as I live. Jewelry is just as useless and ridiculous as marriage.

I got out of the habit of wearing the ring (it's a finger hazard in my line of work.)

In the first year I got it caught in something I was working with and almost lost my finger. The ring had to be cut off. After my finger  healed my wife bought me another ring, It was a little bigger and loose. Once after washing my hands in a public restroom it came off when I dried my hands and threw the paper towel in the trash. When I discovered it was gone, I went back but the trash had been dealt with. I have never used a ring of any kind since. It didn't seem to matter because our marriage only lasted for another 51 years. lol

LOL, now tell us how you REALLY feel !!   to each their own.

Had to take it off for my daughter's MRI.  I'm not cheating, just outsourcing the BBBJ's I don't get at home.  Would not go out if I got it at home.  I tell you no lie.  The ring will be there in my ashes.

WOW......i can only hope ours will last that long.....going on 25 now!!

That way I cant lose it or leave it.

because I instinctively knew it would put limitations on me someday.  So I just told my wife I would rather spend additional money on hers and get a much bigger diamond than to buy a ring for me.  What women isn't going to say okay to that?

FUCK MARRIAGE !!!!!

I learned about that when I was 19 and had my first affair (that's actually how I lost my virginity)

I had a mistress for a couple years and used to take it off when I was with her so she wouldn't feel like I was "throwing it in her face" - it also allowed for a little suspension of reality. She never asked me to do it nor mentioned it's absence though. Just one of those unspoken 'rules' we had between each other. For me, it wasn't as if taking it off felt less like cheating, it just seemed like the right thing to do in the presence of the 'other woman'. I did stress out about losing it though...a lot. :/

taking off his ring is stupid if he does so. I'd bet more than one John left it in the room or had it did fall out  
of his pocket in the escort's room. Explain that to your SO! It easier to give the escort a twenty to pretend she doesn't see it.  

I do it for risk and loss mitigation.  

I bet providers like it when they see your ring because they know you're less drama and less prone to stalking, lol.

When I was having an affair with the love of my life she and I bought each other rings.  But I also wore my wedding ring at that time. I  have since taken the wedding ring off (claimed it was too small) and never put it back on.  I don't wear her ring either any more but I do keep it in a drawer as a reminder to me of what its like to be truly loved by a real woman

Not necessarily true.  My ATF tells me that this married guy she's seen several times does drive-by's to her incall and calls her constantly.  She tried to put the kabosh on his activities by saying she's taking a break but he continues to stalk her.

Good for you!!

Re: woooooow! Your story is awesome too bad you lost money on 2 rings -e-

They didn't really cost all that much. We were both going to college at the time I lost mine. My wife later in life when she had surgeries for hip and knee replacement, she refused to take off her engagement and wedding rings , so they covered and taped them up.

Having a ring may not be a bad idea.   There are some fake diamonds that look very realistic, I have seen them at Nordstrom and they are not that expensive.    Something smallish will not draw second looks.    Most people don't give a flying f but it is not a terrible idea.

He travelled to a motel for an in call and got busted..

on her dates with you lmfao! Imagine someone taking it the wrong way and she stops her birth control lmfao!

I see one who wears her rings.  I didn't wear a ring in my first marriage... finger hazzard on the job.  She had rings, I didn't cheat, she did.  
Second time around, I have a ring...  I had to stop wearing it for medical reasons (hand swelling).  It sits in my jewelry drawer.

Thanks for the feedback, I just cancelled the box of cheap looking fake diamond rings I had just ordered.  I wonder if they will let me keep the promotional super duper cookie baking sheet that came with?

but I bet on average, the married ones are a lot less stalker'y than the lonely ones sitting at home with nothing else to do than Google every aspect of every tiny piece of info they have one you.  

Yeah, make sure you get that cookie baking sheet. LOL!
