The Anti-Cheating Wedding Ring:

    That is truly sad.

    If you feel you need to purchase that ring for your fiance, then you really shouldn't marry them. It screams I don't trust you and without trust, there is no solid marriage to begin with. You are doomed for failure from the get go.

    What some people think and do never ceases to amaze me.

      My wife has 17 wedding rings. Each for a different promise.

      For example, one for a promise to;

      Not cheat on her
      Not turn gay
      Not change the language I speak
      Not change my sex
      Not ever say that someone is a better cook
      Not ever get caught looking at college girls
      Not steal her french fries at Wendy's
      Not fart in public and act like she did it.
      Not blow my nose on a dress she is wearing
      Not forget her name
      Not sing in public
      Not tell her how a movie ends, because I cheated and went on Wikipedia to read the plot before we went to the movie
      Not to wear a Superman costume in public

      There is more...but they are just silly. :rolleyes:

      What if they're not stars? What if they are holes poked in the top of a container so we can breath?

        Gosh Claude, my husband has several (less than 17 rings, but we haven't been married as many years as you and your wife) too.
        Mine represent that I will:
        Not ask if I look fat in ... anything.
        Not tell him he has spaghetti sauce on his face. (I learned that this is an actual compliment)
        Not to ask him something he doesn't know and then say "do you want to phone a friend"... no good ever came from this!
        Not to ask "How did your day go?" Without enunciating, he's Italian... DON'T KILL ME FOR THAT FOLKS.
        Not ask him to wear his superhero outfit in public.
        Not roll my eyes when our stallion is breeding and farts.. and my husband smiles like a proud father! ... don't ask..
        And last,
        Never, ever, ever, ask that he actually puts my utensils away in the right place and threaten to treat his tool boxes like he treats my kitchen drawers!

          I've always wondered what it must feel like having your own horse.

          I have a dog at all and it's a lot of commitment. I'm guessing it's the same for horses, if not more.

            PeepMyCollar, anytime you recognize that someone, or something is a lot of commitment, and are willing to follow through, it's a good thing!

            Horses are amazing, that's for sure. They are a lot smarter than people give them credit for. My boy (in my avatar), I trust him with my life. He has actually saved it, more than once. Oh, sure, we fight over who's alpha, but when I need him, he's there... and has never failed.

            It is a lot of commitment, owning any animal. I would have to say that it is no more commitment owning a dog, than a horse, it's just different. They need your love and time.

      A brilliant reply. One must trust their partner and this includes not trusting them blindly. Both must be faithful to each other!

      I think you are missing the pure novelty of the thing. It's not *really* intended to be an "anti-cheating" ring any more than any wedding band. That's not *really* the point. The fun is just that it's neat, and clever, and unique. It's a novelty item.

        Sure it's a novelty item in that it's a novel scheme to make money, but anyone who is serious about their vows and new life with another wouldn't dream of it. And I'm quite confidant that everyone knows that a wedding band of any kind doesn't hold magical "anti-cheating" properties.

        Used to be a good old fashioned suntan mark would do the same thing!

        If you are considering marriage, or are married, and you need such a thing, then you missed the boat on "marriage"..

        Looks like what we really need is a Victoria Secret piece, leather, with a sewed on holster! That'll keep em' home! :p

    Well, some people still aren't bothered if the person they like is married or not, with the ring off or on. So I still think it's not gonna be that effective.
    There's no perfect marriage but if you continue to work on your relationship, I think you'll get through anything.
