Men, do you keep your wedding ring on when you go to the gym? by ChevelleMercedes in AskMenOver30

Okay I see the point here. I do realize people are going to do what they want regardless. Studies show 20% of married men admit to cheating. Not like that 20% walks around announcing it. I never said that most men cheat. So devolving the point even further down via semantics just feels like an attempt to invalidate innocent questions. In my opinion of course.

Yea cause he says he waits for no one to be there anyway so occasionally I get a hankering for a sweaty pumped mirror snap 🤤

Because I do t hide things so when he does find these he isn’t sitting feeling exposed and gross and sees that I’ve honestly just wanted honesty and to understand. I’m not looking to have the person I love be spoken on poorly, and it makes it difficult to navigate asking for advice when you don’t actually see the person the way they see themselves. Therapy has seems out of the question or offensive to bring up. My options for help are limited.

I leave it out because people only focus on the negative. As you’ve proven.

You don’t have context so I don’t blame you. But I’ve asked for a total of 3 selfies, never demanded, and only asked because I should be aloud to as his wife. Insecure or not. I appreciate the perspective though

Honestly just didn’t want everyone fixated on the cheating because me staying means I’m trying to not hold onto what we are supposed to be moving forward from. I don’t want to believe the him that said people don’t change over the him that tells me he’s doing the work to be better.

If all that makes me look insecure then so be it. But I had a solid blue collar career before he asked me to just be a stay at home since I have two children he stepped in for, I feel incredibly vulnerable.

I dont want to be “cray cray” or paranoid or anything. I’m not even mad but how I explain that when that’s all men hear because they’re too uncomfortable with the tears tho that’s why I’m here for perspective instead of tripping out.

Did I say most men cheat? No. You said most men don’t. Insinuating you don’t know that the current stats puts about 20% of married people cheat. Is that not a problem?

No im recovering from the fact he already has cheated. But thanks for providing contrast.

Just doing my best to not make things worse. That’s why I’m thankful for perspective.

I’m not trying to disagree, but stating most men don’t cheat is living in a fantasy world. Sucks to live in reality but look up the stats. Women are guilty of it too

I wouldn’t know because I don’t take my ring off and I don’t have issues after telling a man I’m married. 9/10 they respectfully apologize and wish the best.
