I called asking if I should make a big deal about my husband not wearing his wedding ring. You suggested that I try to communicate more clearly with him. Later that day I told him that when he doesn't wear his wedding ring the message that I am getting is that he is embarrassed to be married to me. I used the word "embarrassed". The hubby told me that he does not wear the ring because he's just "gotten use" to not wearing it. Then he agreed to wear it again so he can show that he is married and committed to this union.
He did share that he does, at times, feel embarrassed by my actions. I apologized and have been working on being a better person in this area; excepting his answers instead of trying to foolishly persuade him with embarrassment.
Thanks for the insight Dr. Laura.
P.S. I caught him wearing his wedding ring this afternoon! I thanked him for showing me his love and commitment in this special way. =D
