Seri 'Hidup di Amrik' #52 : No wedding ring means kumpul kebo????

The next long discussion (the first long discussion is about my name) I am having here with my bule friends is my wedding ring.

Some people who have seen my Son (& my Hub), the next thing they look at me is my ring finger which is empty! Then they will start to interrogate me :

'Hey, are you married? where's your wedding ring?/ why you dont wear your ring?/you dont have a wed ring?/does your hub wear his wed ring??

They even thought that I was trying to flirt with other men!!

Then I ended up have to explain that I do have a wedding ring, and I used to wear it, but since I moved here , everyday I engange a lot with soap, spices, and other chemical things while doing houseworks, which made my finger irritated and my ring wasnt as shiny as before.

So, I've decided not to wear my wed ring for this practical reason, besides I feel like I dont need a ring just to let people know that I am married.

But I guess my decision isnt the best on American culture...since it is very common for many of Americans to have partner without being married, and the 'ONLY' thing that makes a difference between married one and unmarried one is THE WED RING.

oh well...whatever they can say whatever they like....cause I dont want my finger to get irritated again!
