The spouse is the only person who could feel suspicious. They have more context than anyone else. If they are fine and/or didn't verbalize anything, one should mind one's business.
^^^This. My husband and I don’t wear wedding rings. And most of what we share on our socials has more to do with our individual interests than with screaming to the world that we are a couple.
Unless you are the other half (or knows the other half and they are concerned), I don’t see why it is your business.
No, it's wrong, some people won't like to share personal life on social media, even me don't like to share anything in social media. Being happy with family is important than sharing everything on social media.
#1 If you aren’t either this husband or their partner in such example situation, it’s none of your business.
#2 If wife’s taking the photos where they are together, are they all selfies taken by the wife with her husband?
If I was in that position I wouldn’t think anything of it. But that’s because neither of us are really big on social media anymore. When we were younger, would constantly have things on there, but slowed down a lot and now that I think about our profiles out there, really isn’t much different then what you described and I’m not worried or suspicious, but that’s just me.
I am a married woman who does not wear a ring. I stopped wearing rings because they bother my fingers. I don't put my husband's pictures on Social Media. Guess what, I am faithful and never cheated on my husband.
You should know your spouse's behaviors. If their behaviors changed and all over sudden they stopped wearing their rings; they are cheating.
It's understandable to feel suspicious given the circumstances. While some people may not wear their wedding rings for various reasons (comfort, work safety, personal preference), combined with the lack of any mention or photos on social media, it could raise some concerns. Open communication is key here. Discuss your feelings with him directly and see if there's a reasonable explanation. If his response is evasive or dismissive, it might warrant a deeper conversation about transparency and trust in your relationship.
First of all, I can't fathom why this is anyone's business. Lots of people don't wear wedding rings (and may not wear any jewelry ever). And social media may not reflect much of a personal life for any number of reasons. Some people just post about hobbies or various interests and feel awkward posting personal stuff. But yeah, let's speculate about someone else's relationship with their wife, based on the thinnest of premises.
I don’t wear my ring most of the time. It’s not particularly comfortable, and I’m not big into jewelry anyway. I also don’t post a bunch of family stuff on social media to strangers, only to my family circle. 🤷♂️
This could be my husband. He does have a ring but often doesn't wear it (which could easily be construed as sketchy!). He's not big into social media so I just checked. He doesn't have a Facebook (I didn't even realize that lol). His dozen IG posts in the last 5 years are about fantasy football, hobbies and our dog. If he did post all the time and it never included me, that would be weird. If you're asking this question about your own spouse, id say trust your gut. There's a reason something feels off. But if you're wondering this about another person (for example, me and my husband), not having your spouse on your socials could mean a lot or could mean nothing.
I mean honestly I try not to judge because there are different circumstances for different couples. It may be that he doesn't like to wear a ring and doesn't really do much with social media. Sure it might be a tad suspicious but who knows, maybe that is something that doesn't bother his wife
Ok fine, but do married women ever not wear wedding rings?
Hi! I’m a married woman who doesn’t wear a wedding ring.
Usually they were
Truth be told I do have a friend (female) who is married who doesn't wear her ring all the time.
I should admit: I am not married but marriage is my goal in the nearish future and so I come here to get the inside scoop on what it is like to be married and what is needed for a marriage to be successful.
I know of a guy (a couple of guys) who is in a troubled marriage (multiple separations, dead bedroom for years, lots of fighting and bickering, contempt) who doesn't wear a ring and did have lots of pictures with his wife on his socials very they were tall taken by the wife with him tagged (so that when she unfriended him during their most recent separation it's like she suddenly disappeared. His socials are mostly devoted to his work and obviously occasional sci-fi. No relationship status despite being married nearly 15 years and together for nearly 20. Initially I didn't know he was married which I didn't like. I normally keep conversations with married men short and keep them at arm's length socially. Then looking back on it I realized maybe there's a connection between his not wearing a ring and not mentioning his wife/marriage in his socials with almost all his pictures taken by the wife and their long running yet dysfunctional marriage (why does he stay? #mystery).
My folks don't wear their rings and have no social and have been together 52 years.
People in that age range don't do much social media to begin with. We're talking about married millennials here...
For a second I thought you were talking about me but then I realized I have been married for 20 years :)
