Last week Nikki was browsing on line for different jobs because she made her self a new updated resume and she was super excited to put it to use. She came across this one job she said that was her dream job and there was an address and it said you could apply in person or you can apply on line so I told her while I'm at work you can actually go down there and apply for the job. Nikki went down there and she was so excited she took a shower and got all dressed up nice before she went and when she was on the way over there she for got her wedding ring in the shower. I guess she took her ring off in order to shave her hands. Any ways  Nikki met with the recruiter for that job which was a lady and Nikki told me it seemed as if she was flirting with her.  Nikki  did a little on line  assessment and the recruiter sort of interviewed her and asked why she doesn't want another job that sales cars and she explained that she just wants to be her self and be happy and grow out her hair and paint her nails. Nikki told me that the recruiter kept smiling like she didn't know if she was making fun of her or if she thought Nikki was hot. Nikki then got an email for her to set up an interview. She has an interview on Tuesday and my main concern is what if the recruiter thought Nikki was gay or what if she thought Nikki was hot and then all of the sudden she sees a ring on Nikki's finger? When Nikki told me last week that she forgot her wedding ring it hurt me very bad I know it was an accident but seriously that place was right by our house and she didn't have an appointment because she was just a walk in. Nikki said last night I'd be mad if i don't get the job because I am wearing my wedding ring this time. I mean as her wife how am I supposed to think and feel on this one? Do I have a right to be upset even though it was an accident and what's done is done?

As you said, it was an accident.  It is normal to feel a bit hurt.  But since she did not mean to do it, I would suggest letting it go.  My wife has not worn her wedding ring for six years.  It still hurts, but I have learned just to get past it.  She always has some excuse not to wear it.  But, I know she is faithful to me, so I am not too worried.  Now, if she talks with you about not wearing it until after she gets hired, you might want to take the dynamics of the situation into account.  It would be horrible for her to lose her dream job because the recruiter felt she had been lied to.  As long as Nikki promises to wear it from then on, I think you should work with it.  On the other hand, I do not want to get hired because someone thinks I am single.  I make it a point to mention at every interview that I am married.  Sorry for all the contradictions, but this can be a tricky topic.  I hope this has helped at least a little.

Yes thank you. See as for me I will never ever take my wedding ring off not even in the shower. I had to recently take off my engagement ring at work to put some gloves on to shower my client. I take care of special needs adults. Anyways my point is I ended up losing my engagement ring which wasn't expensive but has sentimental values to it. I bet one of my co workers found it and threw it way because they hate me... Now I know this thing with Nikki's ring was an accident but it just hurts because the fact that she could've gone back home to get it, not say oh well about it.

I too know your pain in this area.  I work in a high voltage area, and never take off my ring.  The only reason it is off right now is because it is getting re-sized.  I still have a ring on to take its place until I get it back.  But, my wife not wearing hers is something I have had to come to terms with.  Even now, when our relationship is on the verge of collapse, I know she is faithful, and still loves me.  She has her own reasons for not wearing it, I don't understand, but I accept that she just doesn't like wearing it.  If possible, try and remember how much she loves you.  Try to look at what she does to show her love.  This helps me...maybe it will help you.

For that exact reason i will never take off my wedding ring for anything. I feel naked with out it and I am afraid of it getting lost some how. Nikki told me that she will wear her wedding ring tomorrow It's just last time she you know for got to put it back on. I love my wife and I guess in a way I kind of get jealous. Like I already know that when she starts going as full time I will have to chase everybody away because she is going to be super hot! ;D  I hope soon she puts up pics of her self on here because to me she is very passable. I'm my wife's biggest supporter at least I think I am! I wonder if this recruiter chick will be the one conducting my wife's interview? If she is and she still flirts with her I will be upset.
Brooke777 do people try to flirt with your wife or hit on her right in front of you?

No, nobody hits on her.  A few years ago, about 7 or 8, some people would try.  My appearance was quite a bit different then, and I could usually intimidate most other people.  I am 5'10, and at that point I was about 210lbs with 8% body fat. So, I was pretty big.  I also had a shaved head and a beard (my attempt to feel like a man).  Now they do not hit on her because she has gained some weight ( I will leave it at that).  However, I think it would be hard for me to have people constantly hitting on her.  Especially since she doesn't wear her ring.  If it comes to that, and you feel wary because so many people hit on her and she isn't wearing a ring you need to tell her.  She is very lucky to have you.  I probably will not have a wife when I start to look feminine.  I am pretty certain about that now.  We have been to a few couples therapy sessions, and it hasn't really helped.  And last night I was talking about some of the lovely women I have met here, and she asked me do I mean women or "male to female transsexuals".  I told her that MTFs are women, and she just sort of scoffed. 
Sorry, got a little off topic.  Back to the main point.  Nikki is extremely lucky to have you.  You are a rare find and she needs to respect that.  If you are feeling extremely uncomfortable because she is not wearing her wedding ring, let her know.  Let her know how important it is to you and why. 

I really hope you two can work through this.  I am sorry you are feeling so much pain.

I take my wedding off frequently to do things like bake bread. Nothing worse than a dough encrusted ring... So, on  occassion, I do forget to put it back on. But it is an accident, so I put it back on immediately when it comes to my attention. In my opinion, if it was an accident then she will put it back on and attend her interview with it. If anyone asks then it is quite simple to say that I forgot it the other day because I was doing X, Y or Z. My wife and I are pagan and we aren't huge on wedding rings. We have debated wearing them on a chain or something instead. Regardless, for us they are a symbol wherever we wear them, it is our promises to each other that really matter rather than the ring. I trust her and she trusts me so it isn't anything catastrophic. I think this is something that you should have a conversations with your significant other and maybe it will resolve your concerns. If it doesn't then at least you know more and can work on your relationship to find some sort of balance with your partner.

Big hugs...

It's fine you went off topic! I do that all the time! I'm sorry to hear that about maybe not having a wife. I hope the very best for you two. A lot of chicks hit on Niki when she is in guy mode, now I can only imagine on how many guys will hit on her when she lives full time. I think about that and it scares me. Nikki just left for her interview and she did not forget her ring. I hope and pray she gets this job! As for me I get to relax I am off work for 3days! Nikki is very good to me to, on the days that I work she always cooks for me when I get off or she cleans the house and does laundry. She makes a great house wife ;D
I try to be there for her the best I can and well all my life I have been more of the tom boy and really haven't been great at make up. Nikki to me is better at lots of stuff. I love being married to a MTF it's super hot especially when her and I wear the same size of shoes so she always takes mine and I always steal hers!

That makes me a bit jealous. My wife sees it as her husband is dead. She has also said that I am repulsive (her word). I truly hope Nikki knows how lucky she is to have you. I will keep my fingers crossed regarding her job.

Like Brooke, I was working around lots of high voltage and enough energy to make Frankenstein's eyeballs light up. It seemed odd at the time my wife and I were getting married that she wanted me to wear a wedding band. (Yes, I covered the AD&D insurance joke). Her rationale is that she is a sexist. Which how can I argue with an MTF about that. Her opinion about most guys is about as low as my own. Her primary concern however was to send a message to the women. Most of the employees in the factory are women.

For the most part it stays on. When cooking certain messy hands on (in) meals or using heavy machinery or power tools it usually comes off along with the watch whose band holds the ring. In her case I think she has worn it a total of 3 days over the past 14 years. I am not worried about that fact at all. I totally trust her. If some guy flirts or hits on her how can I complain about that ego booster! Hell, I still have fond memories of the first (and only so far) time some guy hit on me! Truth be told most guys pay absolutely no attention to a ring beyond non-committal sex possibility.

In my experience as a cis female you get hit on a lot more when you ARE wearing a ring as opposed to when not. So if you are bothered by the idea of her getting 'hit on' b/c she isn't wearing her ring, don't be... If your wife is an attractive lady then she will get hit on, ring or no ring. My wife has worn her ring VERY rarely (like holidays with my family rare) since we married (3 years Saturday). Says finger jewelry is uncomfortable.... I took my rings off for about a week last month b/c of some swelling and I felt so naked and awkward without them but to be honest when I did put them back on I agreed 100% that it was uncomfortable. (I got over that pretty quick though lol) But as for her not wearing it... I trust her 100% and like Joanne said, MAJOR ego booster if someone does happen to take notice of her.
I guess what I am getting at here is, I would let this one go, it was an accident... not like she stopped to take it off before she left.... and as long as you are trusting of each other it shouldn't be a big deal.
Someone must define a love greater than love...
