i never take my rings off. my husband would feel hurt if i did. i find that men and women really enjoy the fact that i am married and almost all think it is wonderful that i am happy being married. the ones that expressed a dismay at my happiness were themselves trying to get a relationship with me. one or two expressed the opinion that a married woman should not be working the job i have, but they wanted me anyway. any way, i really love being a woman who defies convention, tradition, etc. i consider my self as MBA, married but available. when someone hits on me and asks my status, that is what i tell them i am.
