Before I got married, my father gave me one piece of advice framed as a quasi-joke. "Why is a wedding ring like a tourniquet? They both cut off your circulation."
Being "available" is more than a symbol; there's an attitude that goes with it, and making oneself seem "available" requires a bit of struggle for men once they already *have* a "comfortable relationship."
