Was I wrong to take off my wedding ring?

I never do this but 0/10

Wow, I hate to break it to you, but she sounds crazy by the way you describe her. Are you SURE that is the reason she walked out? Did you ask her what bothers her so much about it? if that is truly the reason, yes, she is irrational.

I didn't wear my wedding ring all winter due to itchy skin. I put it back on when it cleared up.

This came totally out of left field. I never would have expected her to act like this. We never had any issues when we dated or were engaged. I have always been faithful to her and never gave her a reson to be suspicious of me.

I hate to be the one to say this, but it sounds like she might have been looking for a reason to leave. Had her behavior been unusual or erratic prior to the ring incident? Hope you guys can work things out. It would be a tragedy for a marriage to end over something like that.

I take my ring off when I'm making ground meat meals--ground turkey casserole or something like that. The alternative is too disgusting. When my mother got married, a lot of her friends had vowed never ever to take their wedding rings off. But she had also heard stories of women who vowed so for years then were traumatized because they had to take them off for surgery or something, so she took hers off when they went to sign the registry to make sure it wouldn't be an issue later in life. Your wife seems to have some issues with your marriage that go way beyond you removing your ring...

you are easy grader. this does not even rate a zero. never made it out of the negatives.

Here is the latest update. My wife went to her sister's. God bless my sister in law who was trying to talk some sense into my wife. My wife still will not speak to me, but a least my in laws on are my side on this one. I'm still shaking over this, although the 10 miler I ran earlier did make me feel better. I tried calling my wife's cell several times. My sister in law told me to just let her cool off. Hopefully I'll see her later today and we can talk this out.

The males in my family have never worn wedding rings. I don't know why. We have English roots. We aren't very religious either. Do most males these days wear rings? I do remember when my grandmas ring had to be cut off because she never took it off and her finger got too fat.

Here's the deal.

Shes cheating on you. Is in love with another guy. Cant take being married and wants out. And you just gave a lil shot at the single life again and she is running full force to it...sorry man...

You can now either wait for her to run around for a year or two then come back saying o im so sorry you were great, which would be stupid

or you cant find some new young girl...

Ding ding ding - we have a winner (if the OP wasn't an 0/10 troll).

If this is actually true (highly doubtful), you need to get away from this crazy woman ASAP. Anyone who would react like that (for whatever reason) is a total nutcase. Seriously, divorce her NOW!

^this. your wife is cheating on you, or is too emotionally unstable to be married to. most likely cheating on you.

You weren't wrong to take the ring off. But it is wrong to run on any surface besides concrete.

Your mistake, my dear chap, was placing the ring on in the first place.

...now, anyone for some gay sex?

I never take the ring off even when I play golf and it drives me nuts because it bugs me when I putt. I'll mash up burgers with my bare hands too and still have the ring on. The wife took her's off this winter because she said it irritated her skin (like the OP). Her ring finger looks fine, so chafing or dry skin or redness. Hmmmmm. I told her to get it back on and she hasn't put it on yet. Now I am pissed.

I lost my wedding ring and my wife started to blow up about it. I wasn't going to stand for it. I reminded her that it is only a piece of jewelry that doesn't mean mean jack shit. I didn't lose it at a strip bar or anything, it was while swimming in a lake. I had taken it off so it wouldn't fall off in the water.

Now I have a job that requires me to take my ring off sometimes and it's nothing for me to forget to put it back on. She will ask about it but doesn't make an issue of it.

The ring is just a symbol, that's all. Women freak out over stupid shit.

My wife will still not speak to me. My sister in law said she is going to spend the night with her. She said she never saw her sister like this and suspects something else is wrong. I hope some of the previous posters are wrong but there may be a 3rd party involved. It just does not add up. This will be the first night we've been apart since we were married. I'm a wreck. Thanks Concrete Runner, your post did make me laugh. Thanks everyone for your input. I want to stay married, but not if there is somebody else.

just make sure you have her ring so you can make some easy cash and buy more running stuff- you will need good shoes to run lots of mile to get over her......

No, you were not wrong to take off your wedding ring; You were wrong to put it on!
