Ok, tell me what you think about this. ..

My husband never could wear his at work. I made him put it on when he got home and when we went out but he never was the type who was into jewelry. (so he said) Anyway, one day we were joking around and he threw it in the trash and said he didn't need it anymore. We were laughing and forgot about it until the next day. Well, after that we couldn't find it. Maybe it was a sign. We never got a new one and he doesn't need it anymore....:eek: (we've split)}(
 
My husband lost his wedding ring years ago while swimming. He's never gotten a new one. We ocassionally have thought about replacing it but it hasnt been a priority to spend the money on it. I've never had any doubts about his commitment to our marriage.

My parents never had rings. My mom told me that thye do have wedding bands, but she kept it somewhere safe. A lot of husbands and wives I know who are my parents' age don't wear rings either, so I thought wearing rings is just a young people's thing:D

My hubby always wears his. One time he forgot to put it back on after weight lifting, and then he went out clubbing with his guy friends. I always joke with him on the issue, claiming him working out before clubbing AND intentionally forgetting his ring at home:7

I guess, like other posts, it's just personal reference. It's all about trust and communication. If you don't trust your the other half when (s)he is not wearing the ring, then you shouldn't trust him/ her at all; if (s)he understands how not wearing a ring is bugging you, (s)he probably will just wear it everyday for you. It's just one little metal, or better than metal, on 1/10 fingers, and (s)he will get used to it.
 
I just started wearing my wedding ring again....after 22 years! I only wear it during the day because I can't stand to wear rings. I put it on right before I leave in the morning, and take it off as soon as I get home. Somedays, I just don't wear it at all...

My husband wears the band his dad gave him when we got married, almost 20 years ago. I don't have a ring, so therefore never wear one. It is so not important to me. DH can wear his if he wants. We just have always had other things we would rather spend our money on. I don't think it means anything one way or the other.
 
Marie-

Interesting thread! My DH likes his ring a lot. We had it custom made, because he wanted the style of a lot of the 2-tone rings, but he only wanted yellow gold. He wears his more than I wear mine, I'm embarrased to say! I don't wear mine while exercising or taking a shower, and sometimes I don't put it back on if I'm just going to the store. I don't like not wearing it, though.

Just a thought- maybe men would wear their rings if they had beautiful DIAMONDS in them!! I swear, LOL, I have never wasted as much time staring into a rock as I have since I got my engagement ring more than 4 years ago. Just looking at it makes me happy!!!

I think there are some men who are jerks, but I think more men aren't used to jewelry. I doubt they think about it too much, especially if they don't wear it.

I'm glad my hubby wears his- I think it makes his hand look sexy. :*
 
I wear my ring, and I work in and around electricity and moving mechanical parts. I occasionally wrap my wring with electrical tape.
My only other jewelry is my watch.

If I take the ring off, I will lose it which will look more suspicious than not wearing one at all.

My opinion on rings is that if the wearer wants to wear it fine, if not then don't.

If that ring is the only thing that is stopping someone from screwing around then it's not much of a marriage. Why don't we brand each other to prove ownership?

In my wife's various jobs she's had to not wear her ring to stop from damaging her hand. After 25 yrs, I think I can trust her without her wearing my possesion statement.

I'm with oldfirmie, I just don't like to wear a ring. The symbolism of the wedding ring is great, and if you can wear and like jewelry that's great too. But if wearing a ring is unsafe or bothersome to you (which I think is why most people choose not to) I don't think it means anything about the relationship. If you don't wear your ring because you don't want to look married, that's a whole different story.
 
My DH doesn't wear his ring and it doesn't bother me at all. He's got a physical job so it would get in the way and he has never worn jewelry.

I always wear mine but I love jewelry - I hardly ever take it off.
 
My husband didn't use his wedding ring for a long time, because it didn't fit him anymore. But finally, he had the ring enlarged and now he is using it.

I use mine only when I go out. But if I am going to my mother's house or any informal place where I want to be physically comfortable, I don't wear it.

I don't care much about the rings. All I care is for our love and our daughters.

Gayle, I agree with you. And I am one of those persons that can't stand jwelry for too long. In fact, if I could be totally naked all the time, everywhere, I would be! LOL:+
