A character is about to do something of serious import (Shoot the Dog, fall Off the Wagon etc.). Just before they do so, they take off their wedding ring. Maybe they don't want to give away the fact that they're married (particularly to a person they intend to commit infidelity with), which would make this the opposite of the Wedding Ring Defense. Or the wedding ring is an unwelcome reminder of their ties to their spouse. Perhaps their spouse is their Morality Chain, and they need to unbind themselves from them in order to carry out some morally questionable act. Or perhaps the character is a widow(er), and their taking off their wedding ring is a sign that they've moved on from their dead spouse (or are at least trying to move on). Yet another variation is the character not wanting a villain to realize they are married and track down their loved one. Sometimes the activity about to be carried out is just messy, and they don't want to get their ring dirty...but the act of removing the ring draws stares or commentary from other characters, or someone sees the now naked ring finger and assumes the character who took his/her ring off is back in the dating pool. Note that the character need not necessarily still be married for this trope to be used: they could be a widow(er), or even separated or divorced. On rare occasion, it can be a symbol of mourning, if the widowing had just happened. Sometimes the character is only engaged, and removes their engagement ring. Closely related to Lost Wedding Ring. Compatriots Insignia Rip-Off Ritual, when someone removes a (usually police or military) rank insignia to symbolize their resignation or that they are about to act against the organization's principles. Compare and contrast the Wedding Ring Defense, where a character wears a wedding or engagement ring to fool others into thinking they're unavailable... and can take the ring off anytime. Meanwhile, Returning the Wedding Ring signifies the end of a relationship. In Real Life, this act rarely carries the gravity that it does in fiction, and there are plenty of legitimate reasons for removing one's wedding ring, such as when washing dishes, carrying out electrical repairs or operating dangerous machinery. If there is some trivial reason such as these for a character to remove their ring, it's not an example of this trope. |

Played with in Sherlock Holmes (2009). Holmes does a Sherlock Scan on Watson's fiancée Mary and observes that she has a lighter spot on her ring finger, leading him to the assumption that she was engaged before but left her fiancee for not having enough Gold Digger potential. Mary is outraged and splashes her wine on Holmes. Then she reveals that the cause for the removed engagement ring was that her former fiancée died. | |

He had been unable to bring himself to remove it before then, as he was still struggling with the loss of his wife on 9/11 (almost 4 years earlier). He continued to struggle for a while, but taking off the ring was symbolic of him being ready to start dating again. | |

An inadvertent example in The Simpsons. Homer takes off his wedding ringnote actually, a piece of tin foil wrapping a ring made of cardboard, as he had removed his actual wedding ring attempting to see if it could fly over Lake Michigan while working at a Habitat for Humanity-esque volunteer building event, and several women flirt with him upon noticing his ring tan, marking him as a recent divorcee. | |

Castle: Happily Married Ryan takes off his wedding ring in one episode as an experiment. Basically, he's jealous that all the women they're interviewing in a case are flirting with Esposito and ignoring him, and Esposito told him the wedding ring was the reason. So Ryan convinces Esposito to wear his ring, but the next woman still flirts with Esposito (despite him drawing attention to the ring and claiming to be married) and ignores Ryan. Esposito then explains that Ryan is so devoted to his wife that, even though other women don't know that he's married, they can still sense his Seduction-Proof Marriage. Ryan, now confident that he isn't undesirable, requests his ring back. He also takes it off in a later episode when he goes undercover, since his false identity isn't married (and is sort of in a relationship with a witness). His wife is aware of it this time; her only concern is the danger of the assignment. |

Jekyll: Tom Jackman always slips his wedding ring off just before turning into Hyde, as he doesn't want Hyde to know that he's married. When Jackman turns into Hyde in front of his wife Claire for the first time, the wedding ring falls off to mark the moment of transformation. Basically, if Jackman's ring comes off then he's either about to become Hyde or has already done so. | |

He takes off all his clothes, then takes off his wedding ring, then goes walking off the beach into the sea.

Mariella Smith-Rhodes tests a young candidate for a sponsored place at the Assassins' Guild School by showing him her wedding and engagement rings. She then requests him to take them off her fingers. The boy, who has heard about the sort of rings favoured by Lady T'Malia, is aware this is a test of his skills in observation and reasoning. He takes the rings off her fingers, wondering if a woman's wedding ring should come off so easily, notes her husband is present, and wonders if this is a coded message to him - do not assume these rings will remain on my fingers. I can take them off at any time. | |

This was done unintentionally in Even Though We're Adults. Ayano is always forgetting her wedding ring, so she made it into a necklace. Her husband made a matching necklace, but they rarely wear them. They both eventually decided to predominantly use their rings as decorations for their home. Akari has fallen for married women before and knows to check for rings, but she doesn't see one on Ayano so she thinks she's single. It isn't until afterwards that Akari learns Ayano has a husband. | |

Inverted on Seinfeld. George puts on a wedding ring to seem more attractive to women, under the logic that it signals that at least one woman saw something in him. It worked, but none of the women who were into him were willing to enter a relationship with a married man. Also, it gets stuck on his finger, and he can't prove his story to anyone. | |

Firewatch: Henry leaves his wedding ring behind in his cabin when he goes hiking. It's ambiguous whether this is because he doesn't want to see it lost or damaged, he's upset by his marriage's inevitable end due to his wife's early-onset Alzheimer's, or because of his new, ambiguously romantic relationship with fellow ranger Delilah. Interestingly, if the player chooses to have Henry put the ring back on, he never takes it off again. | |

True Lies: Inverted just after the Action Prologue. Upon returning home after the mission to Switzerland, Gib has to remind Harry to put his wedding ring back on after he'd removed it for his cover ID. Later, when Helen is playing a High-Class Call Girl and modifying her outfit into a Little Black Dress with Boyish Short Hair, she struggles to remove her wedding band so she can put it on a different finger as generic jewellery. After they escape from the Crimson Jihad, Harry chides her that "This is the wrong finger," and puts it back on her. Cue The Big Damn Kiss. |

How I Met Your Mother: Played for Laughs in an early episode, in which Lily removes her engagement ring after she finds herself missing the attention of random men hitting on her. Later, when Robin gets engaged, she has the same realization. Only, in her case, men have gone from worshipping her and giving her free things to either treating her like a normal person or outright not seeing her. She removes her engagement ring several times throughout the episode to highlight the difference. In the end, she realizes that she can live the disappointment as long as her fiancé sees her. | |
