Thread: Is it a big deal not to wear your wedding band?

I think it is a big deal not to wear your wedding band unless activity involves danger wearing it. My husband had to remove his when he used to play golf because he had a very wide band and it would pinch his finger and then it would also cause his finger to break out where his finger would sweat under it. I could not wear mine with my pregnancies because of swelling. What do yall think? Being married and not wearing a band is like lying especially if a person is out in a night club.

I don't wear mine because of water retention, and hubby doesn't wear his, as he has lost a lot of weight. I don't think a ring shows how much you love a person or not.

I went quite a few years w/out wearing one... cause it just didn't fit anymore and it never occurred to my husband to buy a cheapo replacement (temporarily) or have it resized. I got so used to not having one that when he finally did buy me a very beautiful replacement it about drove me crazy. I'm used to it now but for about a month there all I wanted to do was take it off! On the other hand... I would be truly hurt if my husband wasn't wearing his. I've replaced his several times and he loves every one of them... so he gets to pick and choose lol. So, yeah, even though I didn't for a long time... I do think it's a big deal to have the ring on when you can. But I don't think it's "lying" to not wear it as long as you don't represent yourself as single in other ways.

My husband doesn't wear his because of his job. He climbs on dump truck boxes and trailers all day. If he were to catch it on something, he could rip his finger off. When we go out, he does wear it if I ask, but is really not much of a jewelry person. I know he loves me, and I had rather he be safe than get hurt badly because of a little scrap of gold.

A few times I had to get my ring resized because of weight gain and the jewerler had mine 1 week each time, I felt naked without it. My husband thought he lost his once down the bathroom sink and now he doesn't take it off. When he knows that I am going to the jererly store to get my rings cleaned, polished and checked he will give me his to get the same done. He tells me he is lost without his for even a day.

My husband use to wear his but he had to take it off for his job. So he was always putting it on and off. If he is in off the floor and in the offices he can wear it but the second he goes out on the floor with the equipment he must have it off. It doesn't matter that he isn't doing anything with the equipment. Finally he just left it off which is ok with me.
I had to stop wearing my rings when I was pregnant but once I had the kids and swelling went down I started wearing them again.
Several years ago he bought me a new ring and during the winter I had to take it off. My finger where the ring was would get dry and itch and really bother me. I lost about 10-15 lbs when I stopped some medication and now I can wear it all the time again. But it didn't bother hubby that I couldn't wear it. He saw what would happen if I did wear it.
I don't think it is dishonest or wrong not to wear a ring unless you are not wearing it to pick up a guy/girl. If you are not wearing it for that reason then I think it is wrong.

DH does not wear his. It doesn't bother me.

I wear mine tho... mostly because ever few years I go out and get myself a new one LOL I still have my "real" one, but I upgrade every now and then

My mom and dad were married 36 years and neither one EVER wore a wedding ring. They had them dad had bought them when they got married but mom was allergic to alota jewelry and dad worked for the water dept plus some farming/contruction so obviously he couldnt wear his when he got that. I know for FACT they loved each other. I dont think you need a ring on your finger to know somebody loves you. You shouldnt have to look at a finger and a ring you should KNOW in your heart.

I admit I want a wedding ring and I would always wear mine but Id be just as fine without one.

My husband doesn't wear his because he is a construction worker. He did at first but it got so banged up and misshapen and I was worried it would get caught. He had it in his truck forever and would wear it when we go places but mostly it just lays on a shelf. It doesnt bother me. I wore mine forever, but now it leaves a blister sometimes so I mostly leave it off. It doesn't bother him. He knows why I don't wear it. I will for about 3 wks, then I leave it off for a few weeks. I don't have to worry about him cheatin.. he is HOOKED lol. and God knows I wouldnt cheat. WE both know we are married, a ring doesn't have to tell us so
