Wedding Ring Conflict
My husband and I have been married for two years. Lately he's been "forgetting" his wedding ring a lot when he goes out of the house -- to work, to the gym, to hang out with his friends. I have no other reason to suspect he's cheating but it's never happened before and suddenly it's happening several times a week. He swears it's by accident, but we agreed when we got married that when you're married, the wedding ring stays on until the marriage ends. Should I be worried about his commitment?

Men often work in jobs where the presence of a wedding ring can become a health hazard. If he works with heavy machinery and goes to the gym, the chance of an accident increases with the wearing of jewelry on one's hands.
There is risk involved and many have suffered the loss of fingers by heavy equipment in accidents that could have been prevented.
Many jewelry owners caution wives-to-be to remove engagement and wedding rings while in the kitchen, as food does not "wash out" of a complex setting of precious stones. Not only will you be more comfortable knowing your rings are at their sparkling best, you will understand that some types of stones can be damaged by contact to abrasives.
Allow your husband the benefit of the doubt, but do question him.

If you have any question in your mind about your husband's faithfulness, a ring is the LAST thing you should be worrying about.
However, if you haven't yet had a conversation about what the symbolism of wearing your rings when in public means to you, now is the perfect time. He might not have a clue that what he views as a simple oversight (or more likely laziness!) to you reads as a far more grave sign.

Rather than have the conversation with him about how he would feel, why not just start "accidentally" forgetting your wedding ring as well and see how he reacts to it. I tend to find that much more effective when the talking is not working. So since you have already had the conversation with him - go out for a drink with your girlfriends without your wedding band.
