I love your common sense answers! I don’t wear my ring - haven’t for years. Husband wears his, mainly because he can’t get it off.

Every once in a while I think of getting a plain band that fits (which is why I don’t wear the original - it no longer fits) but it’s just too much bother. I don’t really like wearing rings - or other jewelery either, for that matter.

Rings can be resized by a jeweler.
 
Disclaimer: I’m not married yet, this is just an opinion from a hopeless romantic.

I would be hurt if my husband doesn’t want to wear his ring. I would like him to want to show off that he’s married, ya feel? It’s like holding a girl’s hand in public-minus the girl.

Ask your wife honestly. If she doesn’t mind, you don’t have a problem. Even though my father was a horrible husband, he still wears his ring after her death which is pretty sweet

Aww, that is sweet. (But never assume that you know what your parents marriage truly was. There are things that only your parents know between themselves that you will never understand.)
 
I never understood guys who don’t wear their wedding rings. I was proud to get mine and rarely take it off–the only time I do is when I’m making meatloaf and squishing my fingers through ground meat. And sometimes in the gym if it might get scratched up or catch on something.

I worked with a woman who found her husband’s wedding ring laying around the house a couple times. Her solution? She put it on his keychain. That’s where her *EX *husband used to keep his ring. Her second husband got the hint. 😛
 
My wife has a diamond ring and takes it off and on. She sometimes wears it and sometimes doesn’t. (Probably not at the gym, but probably yes when out for dinner). Mine is a plain gold band and I have literally never taken it off. It’s been on my finger for nearly two years now without interruption. I don’t think I could remove it now without assistance.
 
People who work with certain kinds of machinery shouldn’t wear rings of any kind - it can get your finger ripped off. I’ve seen pictures.

That’s the thing. It bugs both of us. It bugs me to wear it. It bugs her if I don’t wear it.

I agreed to honestly give it a try, which I have. The reasons given for wearing it aren’t helping much either.
 
When I got married in the 1960s, there weren’t many double ring ceremonies. I told my fiance’ that if I wanted to cheat on her, I could always take a ring off. So, I never got a ring for myself. I’m glad I didn’t because we couldn’t wear rings on our job because of safety.
One guy almost ripped his finger off because he wore his wedding ring while working…
My wife bought me a pinky ring several years after our wedding & I wore it when we went out a few times but I don’t feel comfortable with a ring & it sits in my dresser.
 
My DS had been married for a whole three weeks so it still seems strange to see a wedding band on his hand. We commented about that to him and he said their friends were saying the same thing. One of them told him he now has “dad hands” which I thought was a cute way of expressing it. The potential grandma in me is hoping those dad hands are real sooner rather than later :)🙂

I hated wearing rings, so I never wore one as a single person.

So when I picked out my ring, I made sure to get one that was very thin.

The only time it bothers me is when my hand and fingeres are swollen due to high humidity. Then, I place it on my pinky.

Today, I wear my ring every day, and feel naked without it. However, my wife rarely wears hers, only when dressing up.

Go figure

The easiest way to get used to wearing it is to sleep with it on.
 
I wear mine (it’s an enclosure around my engagement ring) which is quite wide, like 3 narrow rings. I feel naked without it. I do take it off occasionally if I can’t seem to get it dry after I wash my hands, or if I’m doing something messy. I had it resized after my first baby was born or maybe in early pregnancy, and it still fit through my second pregnancy and beyond.

DH gained a lot of weight when I was pregnant with our first and his quit fitting. He has always aid he will lose weight so he didn’t get it resized. It also caused him a significant rash that was hard to get rid of. I think it is due to it being white gold not yellow, and I think you can get it re-coated when you get it resized. Anyway, it doesn’t fit and he is worried it will irritate him, so he doesn’t wear his.

It doesn’t bother me usually. It used to, I think, then I learned to not sweat the little details. He doesn’t give me any cause to worry.
 
Oh my. If y’all could see my box.
Many to choose from.
I wear my engagement ring, with Joe’s mother’s simple band and my mothers diamond band as ring guards.
Plus a wide cocktail ring on the other hand. Been playing piano since God was a boy…nothing bothers me. Feel nekkid without them. But Joe? Too many single years I guess. 🤷

Joe won’t wear his.
Says he’s afraid of losing it.
All I can say is, it hurts my feelings.
I wear HIS ring.

Yep! I even warped my finger doing so. I need it resized, there’s bigger things on my plate right now. I’ll get around to it one day. :o

I’m one of those rare women that struggle with impure thoughts and temptations of the opposite sex. It’s always nice to feel my ring and remember why I gave up giving into those thoughts and temptations. 🙂
