A colleague is getting a divorce and has stopped wearing his wedding ring. Why would he hide his hand in his pocket around the office for months?

Could he be ashamed, embarrassed, what? People knew he was having a long term affair and it's been months of him not wearing his ring, yet he still puts his hands in his pockets every time he leaves his cubicle.

Not Wanting to Make This Anyone's Business. xxoo

Guilt, regret and hope for reconcile

But thats not likely to happen and he knows he is screwed on all levels.

Courts will gut him financially. The gutting process will hurt him physically and mentally. So I hope it was worth it

But he seemed to despise his partner and said he was grateful they were divorcing, so why hide the hand?

Only way to protect his true feelings
People can say one thing and mean another or just outright lie

Wow you sure must watch him closely. Like REAL closely. I really doubt he is doing that to hide his ring. He'd just take it off. I promise the last thing on his mind is that stupid ring.
