Still wears wedding ring - advice please

I met a guy online and we have been seeing each other for a couple of months. He wants me to meet his family so we are going there for weekend end of July. He has said he would like to meet my dd and my family but I have put him off. Reason being he still wears his wedding ring but on his right hand. I feel this means he hasn't fully moved on. He has been separated for nearly 2 years.

I don't know how to approach it as it's his choice to wear it but I wouldn't feel comfortable introducing him to my family when he is wearing a wedding ring albeit on his other hand.

Am I being over cautious and paranoid or not?

I know he isn't with her any more and all the finances have been sorted out. And she now is in another relationship.

Have seen random photos and it looks like he does wear ring on his right hand all the time.

Maybe I should see how things progress instead of interrogating him. Am just scared of getting hurt.

I do think he is genuine and he seems keen as organised to meet his family.

I suppose am just wary

I don't think the ring is the problem. I think the fact that you feel unable to speak to him about it is the problem.

Talk to him. Maybe the ring was his father's and he used his ring when engaged? There are many innocent explanation and many not. It's the only way you'll find out.

I'm not sure it's a big deal. Maybe he just likes wearing a ring. I still wear my first wedding ring from time to time because I like it. I'm remarried now and in no way shape or form still hanging on to my first marriage. I'm just not particularly sentimental about the meaning of the ring it's just a pretty ring.
