Working at a bar has given me a lot of perspective on how people change when drinking. Some of it has been really amusing, but I have noticed an irritating trend in some of the men who come in. They look at my left ring finger and say "No ring, I got a chance!" When I tell them I am in a serious relationship, they respond with: "Well, you're not married, so I still have a chance, right?" I then usually go into a long speech detailing Paul's virtues and how not only do I love him, but I LIKE him too. After all this, these guys act offended that I am not interested and that I have no desire to cheat on my boyfriend.
Now this situation perplexes me; What difference does a wedding ring really mean to these guys? A ring doesn't protect against infidelity, right? If someone is going to cheat on his or her significant other, wouldn't they do it regardless? Why would they think I'd be any more likely to cheat just because Paul and I aren't married?
