Quote: I've thought about laughing and saying something to the effect of I love you even if you don't wear your ring around....
Deb - I definitely wouldn't do this. It comes off as kind of...I'm not sure, insecure/manipulative, etc.? I have really come to believe that the best approach is the direct approach.
If it was * me *, I would say something like "H, I love that we've been ML a lot lately - it makes me feel closer to you. I do have one issue - and I don't expect a discussion, I just need to get this off my chest. It really bothers me that you don't wear your ring when you are out of the house. This isn't an accusation, but it makes me feel like you aren't completely committed to this relationship".
That might be a bit strong, but regardless, I'd be direct. Make it known that it isn't saying that he's having an affair still - you don't know for sure what is going on. Don't joke about it - him not wearing his ring isn't something to laugh at. But I'd also start out with appreciating stuff like ML, or whatever else he's done right.
If you confront him angrily, he'll be pissed. He still might be no matter what if he has anything to feel guilty over.
