Have you ever seen him wearing the ring Rebecca?
I would guess he is used to wearing it and only takes it off in respect for you.
It seems he misses his married status.

Perhaps it’s to show other women that he’s unavailable?

Yes , do ask him about this and do be very careful!

Nobody on here would know why he does this, ask him.

Could just be that he wants to wear his wedding ring all the time as he is used to it but takes it off when with you out of respect. He has chosen to date you, if he didn’t want to he wouldn’t.

Getting engaged after only six months seems rather rushed to me. I would be wary of the person who told you this though. What do they have to gain? As others have said, just ask him.

Communication is the linchpin of any good relationship, IMO. As Germanshepherdsmum says; Just ask him!

Have you not asked him why he does this?

Advice please. I’m dating a widower of 6 years. Been dating 6 months and he asked me to get engaged on Valentines. I’ve just been told that when he goes out alone, he puts his wedding ring back and removes it before coming home to me. Can I get peoples views on this please. Am I right to feel concerned that perhaps he is not emotionally ready to date or marry me
