A side discussion here made me interested to start a thread about it.

Do you wear a wedding ring if you are married and if you are not married do you plan on wearing a ring?


I am married and hardly wear my ring and my husband doesn't either. I just don't really see it as a significant symbol of our marriage and it seems to bother a lot more other people than it does us. We've been married for about 11 years now and it's never been an issue between us.
 
I don't wear my wedding ring, my wife does. It's not a thing. I would wear it, but I worry about losing it, I'm dumb like that...plus, it makes it tough to pick up at the bar... (KIDDING)
 
Interesting. My wife wears hers, it's not really much of a "wedding ring" persay, it's not some diamond ring thing. She doesn't like diamonds given the fact that it takes the lives of african kids to get, lol. I don't have a ring actually. It's not really a big deal. Though we also didn't have a ceremony since Colorado has Common-Law Marriage.

Unmarried but, I would say that is uncommon. Not any indicator of the health of the relationship, but, just uncommon because most people obsess over symbols like that. Probably less so with people under 40, because we are intolerable heathens who never pay deference to old school traditions because of the rock and roll music we listen to.

but, yeah, kind of uncommon.

Seldom wear one except under circumstances in which I would also be wearing a suit to a social event and then only sometimes. Nice custom rings. I just don't like jewelry. Don't wear a watch often either. If I have one on, odds are I have the other on. A man at my first job had the end of his finger ripped off because he was working on a machine with his wedding ring on and it snagged on something at exactly the worst possible time.

My wife almost always wears hers. I almost never wear mine, because the work I do trashes it. She keeps it in a little jewelry bag, and gives it to me whenever we are going out. She then promptly asks for it back when we get home, and safely stows it away for next time. :mrgreen:

As long as the both of you are good with it, that's all that matters :)

I like to wear mine. It's basically the only jewelry I wear. My husband had to have his cut off in an emergency situation. We haven't replaced it yet, but I'm less nervous when he doesn't have it, so no rush!
 
I don't.

I hate wearing jewelry of any kind. I don't even wear a watch.

No ear rings, no necklaces, no rings, no bracelets or watches.
Hell, I don't even wear a belt if I don't need one.

A lot depends on what the prettier half is doing as to wearing hers or not. I rarely notice either way.
I'm not at all threatened by it if she doesn't. In fact, it usually means it's in a safe place and won't get lost or damaged.

I wore it the first year or two, but I hate wearing rings so I haven't wore it in decades. I think I still know where it's stashed. Mrs. wears her's every day but it wouldn't bother me in the slightest if she didn't. Not anything I've even dwelled on.

That's what happened to my husband.

We used to wear them all the time. He is in construction on broke two of his and is not into jewelry at all so he decided on not getting another one and I have no issue with it. Awhile ago we were in a real tough spot and I had to pawn my ring and a couple years ago I got a new one but just haven't ever got back into the habit of wearing it. I do wear jewelry but mostly earring and necklaces, I'm just not really a ring person. I have been thinking of maybe turning the ring into a nice pendant to wear as a necklace, I would prefer that to wearing a ring.
 
I wear a wedding ring, it took us a very long time to find one I was comfortable with as I dont like the idea of jewelry and had to find one that didn't feel like I was actually wearing a ring.
I have had it repaired 4X now. It's so innocuous that I forget to take it off when I do things that can/do cause it harm.
It is the only piece of jewelry aside from a watch I will ever wear
 
As a side note, I have considered getting a less "fancy" band I could wear all the time. I like some of the titanium bands. The ring I got married in is a really nice white gold ring. The brand is actually "Circle O' Love" :lamo

Haha! Me too. I'm a tile guy, and it is just not a ring friendly occupation.
 
I wear mine all the time. Wife most of the time.
