His Wife Suddenly Started Wearing Her Late Husband’s Wedding Ring Alongside Her Current Ring, And It’s Making Him Feel Very Disrespected
Before this 35-year-old man and his wife, who is 32, tied the knot, she was previously married.
However, his wife’s late husband passed away in a tragic car accident about two years before they met, and she was left a widow.
“I’ve always respected her grief,” he said.
Then, he eventually began dating his wife, and they got married about three years ago. Since then, they have also had a son together– who is now 1-year-old.
But, just one week ago, he noticed something strange. All of a sudden, his wife had begun wearing her late husband’s wedding ring alongside her wedding ring on the same finger.
Now, that took him by surprise, and he pointed it out to his wife. But she assured him that wearing the ring was just a way to honor her late husband. She also claimed that the ring didn’t mean she loved him any less.
Still, he admitted that the whole thing has left him feeling pretty unsettled.
“I understand she still misses him, but I feel it is disrespectful to our relationship,” he explained.
To be clear, he doesn’t want his wife to just forget about her first husband. At the same time, though, he also doesn’t want her to be “living in the past.”

That’s why, ever since spotting the ring on his wife’s finger, he’s actually asked her to take it off on numerous occasions. Regardless, his wife keeps refusing to remove her late husband’s ring.
Instead, she has actually just begun accusing him of being both jealous and insecure.
His wife has also tried to tell him that he has nothing to worry about and that he’s the only man in her life.
“But I feel like I am competing with a ghost,” he vented.
So, he really doesn’t want his wife to wear her late husband’s wedding ring anymore, but he just isn’t sure if that makes him a real jerk or not.
How would you feel if your spouse suddenly started wearing their late partner’s wedding ring? Do you think he should be concerned? Does it seem like his wife might still be struggling with her grief? How do you suggest he handles this?
