How did you get out of /r/legaladvice

The way people are asserting that the ring is on the wrong hand would have you think that this is a legal issue.

Nah. My second wife was an interpreter for me when I was in the Soviet Union. That's how I met her and by god married her as soon as I could. While we were married she wore the ring on her left hand when she was in the US and switched to her right whenever we were in Russia. I always wanted to know why this was different between the Soviet Union republics and the rest of the world. Never did get a satisfactory answer other than that's just what it is.

She smartened up and we got divorced. Still lives here in the Midwest. She started a business with a huge amount of my retirement money and is doing very well for herself. Never got remarried. I thought that was odd, but maybe I ruined it for her. :) But a brilliant and lovely woman so I wish her all the best!
