Does wearing a ring on your middle finger of your right hand mean you are single?

Answer

In Western countries yes it means the person is single. It could be a parent or relative or the person bought the ring themselves and it's for show so it goes on the middle finger or sometimes people wear 'pinkie rings' on their little finger. However, some cultures such as European cultures can wear a wedding ring (generally on the right hand) on any finger.

Many people don't wear rings when they are married. Example: My husband doesn't have a wedding band because of the type of work he does. He absolutely detests rings anyway and the only jewelry he'll wear is his watch. We have been married 35 years and not once has he cheated on me. Some women may not wear their wedding rings all the time (I don't) if I'm gardening or have my hands in water while scouring and cleaning. I may even forget to put it on when I go out.

A ring only means a symbol of being married so there has to be a lot of trust in a relationship. People CAN take rings off if they feel the need to cheat.
