They are a commitment issue, and they shouldn't be taken off and put back on lightly. mad

I probably misspoke on the rings thing. W lost quite a bit of weight when she started her A. She was never heavy before, but now she's almost Twiggy like. The nurse at her office even said to her she needed to stop losing weight. So her rings are kind of loose.

Given that they're loose, she takes them off at night so they don't come off in bed. And it's also getting colder here which makes them even more loose. In fact, last Saturday night it was so chilly that she lost a gold band that she used to wear on her thumb.

But prior to this, she would always put them on in the morning. Well, last Sunday she was making something for dinner that required getting your hands in raw chicken so she took them off and left them on the kitchen counter. And she's just not put them back on since.

I don't think it's a "I'm not wearing my rings because it's a statement" kind of thing, but more of a "I forgot" thing. But that still bugs me. I see a lady that W works with who is approaching WAW status cause her H is off the deep end in a MLC and she still wears her rings.

I've mentioned it to W a couple times the last few weeks when she forgets to put them on and she always says she forgot in a fairly convincing manner, but if she knows how I feel about them and our marriage is on the mend, wouldn't you think she'd make a point of remembering?
