Are you getting a new boyfriend?

D's student said something rather sharp and yet interesting.. A conversation between S (student) & T (teacher) S: Teacher, why are you not wearing a ring? T: Why should I be wearing a ring? I am not married? S: Why are you not married? T: I am not marrying my boyfriend. S: Does that mean you are getting a new boyfriend? I think sometimes, some people try to avoid the question of marriage, or feel that actually, the person they are with is not the person whom they wish to share the rest of their life with. Yet, if such, then did the student get it right? Well...
