Is she trying to hold on to the single life?

Ummm are you making up a story? It sure sounds like it because you said she's 24 and have a 14 and 12 year old. NOBODY has 2 kids like that at ages 10 and 12! Please don't make up stories just to get responses.

How old is your friend? Maybe the girl is in the situation where she is getting fed up with her life. Its really very difficult to judge somebody if you dont know them so nothing much to say really, Maybe she just really need a break now, maybe both of them need to go for a holiday or vacation just to catch up with whatever that needs sorting out. They've got children and its not that easy for her to give up anyways. They need to spend time with each other and talk about their differences if he want to know whats going on with their relationship.

Sounds to me like she may be cheating on him.

I am not sure I understand.... your friends wife is 24? and she has two sons 14 and 12? How long have they been together? Did she ever where the rings and then stopped? Sounds like they need counseling.

It took me a long time (okay, I was in denial) to realize that when my ex pretended to be mad at me and put his wedding ring on his keyring (yes, how hurtful was that?) that he was cheating on me. I'd tell stay at home dad to get a job and get some counseling.

Dear Charjones, The information you put up is either incomplete or mere fantasized. To me its very surprising to have a 24 year lady having 14 year old son and a husband more than twice of he age.(you have mentioned retired...assumed to be 50+) If such a couple is leaving n earth there is always high probablity to have difference in opinion. The guy should let her go free.

It sounds like she has lost interest in the relationship and is looking to hook up with someone else...or she would be wearing her wedding rings. I think that this man needs to sit her down and ask her whats going on...? If they have not been intimate that is a sign that something is wrong too...perhaps they need to work on thier relationship....

My only advise is to move on already

I think your friend should sit down and talk to his wife about this.it seems kinda odd to me i know guys who do it because they do not want a ring on because it bothers them but i have never heard of a women doing it.their is something going on and he should find out and talk to her about it before things get worse.

perhaps she's still fishing for a better man outside. there might be internal problems between the couple. i don't usually judge people, but i think the wife is misbehaving outside. =/

It doesn't matter if they are not getting along, in the vows it says for better or worse. I think she wasn't ready to be married.

It doesn't sound like she truly loves him, and doesn't believe in the marriage. It also sounds like he is a good bit older than her, and being retired already he might be somewhat rich? Maybe she married him just for his money and now is realizing there is more to life and love then money. If it were me and my wife wasn't wearing her rings, I'd suspect she is trying to pick up other men. Jim

hey if its the matter of just wedding rings just chill...i mean i ndia people do give a lot of importance to such things..but there r some women who don't...but this does'nt mean they do not value their relationship...but yes if there is something else like she wants to hide d fact dat she is married then its a matter of concern..ur friend shud take the matter seriously..n talk 2 her bout it

she might be thinking to get separaed, due to some reason from her husband.it apears from her behaviour of not wearing the ring.

According to me, your friend's wife has no freedom to choose anything. She is threatened. She should take more time to contemplate what she's done with a help of a counsellor/ priest.

Is the above story true? Mother 24, son 14,12 how can it be. Is it early marriage

I also do not wear ring or mangalsutra,put sindoor wear bangles as a married as hindu women is requiered to. But it does not mean I am having an affaire.I don't like to wear all these stuff.My hubby never wore any ring.Not being intimate for months is quite alarming as I feel age gap between them is too much.I think they should go for couple counselling sessions.Talk to your friend he must seek her out and togather they must go for counselling.

Well it sounds like she needs sorting out well and truly I think he needs to tell her straight either she behaves like a married Woman and tells him what is going on or she has to take the consequences

Wearing and not wearing rings is depended on her. Tell your friend to adjest with her.

Hhmmmnn...sounds like there is something wrong with this story. Wife is 24yrs old and has kids 14 and 12?? Did they get married when she was 10 years old? Its no wonder that she doesn't wanna wear her rings! This just goes to proof that not many people making posts here actually know how to read but they sure can type.
