It has been months that I am wearing an engagement ring. It sounds pathetic but there is a reason why I needed a wedding band in my ring finger. The reason is to stop my online students asking my marital status before, during and after the class session. Sometimes we can’t finish the lesson because of such concern and I am tired answering the “why” questions.lol So I needed to pretend to be a married person.

Yes I have worn a wedding ring so not to get hit on, seems some men don`t care if your married or not, they just want to ..... and walk away. I reckon there re some people who still do that but not me.

Oh dear why are they asking you such personal questions?
Maybe some of those students like you? lol

Many do not wear wedding bands in general but some wear it for a fashion statement! Glad it works for you!!

@infatuatedbby Even I change the topic, they do insist it. If I am not in the mood, I will confront them to stop. It wasn't me that needs to be the topic.lol

You have a bunch of curious students? Is everybody so curious in that part of the world? Here, most everyone minds their own business.

@Shavkat People are people and we need to find ways to get along with everyone we meet so that we can be happy.

@1hopefulman I am also abiding the company's rule and no personal information should be the topic.

I don't get that question. I get "when will I settle down".

Wow, seriously? Are they allowed to ask such a thing? Why do you think they do? I don't think we'd be allowed to ask such personal questions in a class session

That is one interesting and quite amusing rationale for your ring. I must admit though that I don't fully understand it but if it makes your life more convenient, go ahead!

No, I have not needed to fake I am married. I was married for a long time but separated from my husband at the time for 8 years. We're divorced now.

If that works then that's good. I don't have a wedding set, not something we can afford but we know we are married and that's what matters.

No I haven't but I had a friend many years ago who wore a wedding ring because he did not want the women who he took out to fall in love with him. He was a confirmed bachelor and wanted to remain so and pretended to be married in a bad marriage.
