Why Doesn't Barack Wear His Ring?

Lately, I've noticed that Barack has not had on his wedding ring. What's up with that?

Also, I never see he and Michelle together anymore. Am I just being paranoid?

I hope they are not separated.

I don't wear my ring. Lots of married folks don't wear a ring.

Hope that's all it is and that is so true.
My parents have been married more than 40 years and never wore rings. My brother has been married 14 years and doesn't wear ring. I wear a ring sometimes because I like jewelry. So sometimes I go long periods without wearing it. And before I was married I would wear rings on my ring finger. Wedding rings don't mean too much to me.

Just because you are married doesn't mean that you are joined at the hip. Barack has been stumping for some of the Democrats that are running in various elections. Michelle is hopefully preparing for her book tour. I'm sure that they make a point to reconnect as often as possible and it's conceivable that we are not privy to the moments that they are together like we were when they were the President and First Lady.

My father never wore his ring and he was married to my mother for over 50 years. Some men don't like to wear rings and depending on your occupation or what you are doing that day (i.e. shaking hands with a lot of strangers, someone might pull it off), it might be better not to wear it.

They've both been out campaigning. They are going from coast to coast.

I've noticed that too OP, and while I understand the reason that some people do this, you're specifically referring to Barack and it seems to be something he's started to do recently which begs the question "is everything okay with them"?

Hopefully the reason given above answers it and he'll start wearing it again. However it's not like no one knows he's married.

I'd prefer not to wear mine..but that's a battle I'm not willing to fight with DH. He really thinks it means the same thing to other men as ot means to him! LMAO
I'm not an accessories type of girl...

I don't like jewelry. Lost my real wedding ring :cry:and don't wear my fake one :lachen:.
I lost my real one, the replacement and now stick to fake ones until I get tired of them :lachen:

He was probably advised to wear it for optics before.
Exactly. The only reason I’m wearing my ring for something more than an outing right now is because of the optics of being a pregnant black woman. Once she drops, I’m dropping this damn ring.

I noticed that black men of a certain age don't wear rings

My Dad never wore a ring. Back in the day there weren’t many double ring ceremonies. Later in life he said he wanted to wear a ring but my mom said she’s not buying one and doesn’t care if he wears one or not. Lol
