When to NOT wear your wedding ring?

image

Unfortunately, this Thanksgiving I was home alone. My husband had stayed up north with the kids at his family’s house, since I had to work all weekend.  Anyways, a girlfriend and I decided we would go toNordstrom’s to shop their clearance racks and maybe have some dinner.  My friend suggests that we should maybe go out to hear some good music.  It’s about Saturday night about 10pm, there has to be something jumpin’, right?

Anyways, we go to this fabulous club called Premiere.  Man, was I impressed.  It looked like something out of New York.  The music was awesome, the bartenders were cute, drinks were great and the people were just friendly and warm.

Well we end up staying there until 2am.  Needless to say we had a great time!  But I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed.  Not even once did I get asked to dance.  Not once. I even did the move where I’m shaking my head to the beat of the music to let them know I want to dance.  But nothing worked.  My friend however, was asked a couple of times.  What did I do wrong?

So I’m telling the guys at work about this great club I went to and expressed my concern.  The first thing they said was, “Well, you had your wedding ring ON!”.

To me this was news!So if you are married and in a club, you are not going to be asked to dance??  Even if you are alone? That doesn’t sound fair.  So then my girlfriend is telling me that I shouldn’t of worn my wedding rings, Really?

I went to the club to dance and have a great time and I’m going back there on Friday. 

Should I wear them or not?

    keep your rings on, dance with your HUSBAND or with your girlfriends, bonehead!  also, tell my wife she’d better not be the one that gave you that advice, because if she really wants to take off her ring, I’ll be happy to take it back and relieve her of the burden.  if she didn’t say that, tell her she can claim her back rub when she gets home.

    Well it was a single friend who recommended this, but I guess you’re right.  I wonder how this applies when men go out with their wedding rings?

    Well, being a seasoned, matured happily married lady, I tend to be very secure of who I am .When I go out with my friends regardless of what I am wearing i.e. jewelry,clothes etc. because of my confidence and my out going spirit I do get approached by males and females alike.
    I am in the jewelry business so at times when out networking with my young attractive boss,I do put on a much LARGER diamond on my wedding finger.
    So, my advice to you, is go out have fun, mingle meet new people and go home and HUG your husband.

    When I was single, I used a wedding ring as an indicator to whether someone was available or not.  If they had a ring on, they were off limits- even for harmless dancing, because what may seem like harmless dancing to one person is a pick up to the next.

    Talk with your husband about it- does he have a problem with you leaving the ring at home while you go dancing?  If you guys have a great relationship like that then there is no problem leaving it at home.  Others probably aren’t as lucky and their spouse would be a little concerned if they were to leave their ring at home so they could go dancing.
