AIBU to leave my wedding rings at home for holiday?

I think either option is fine really. I personally never take my wedding ring off ever and generally don’t take my engagement ring off either for normal holidays but I did leave it at home when we went backpacking on the other side of the world for a few months for our honeymoon, seemed an unnecessary risk given the amount of surfing, diving, horse riding, bungee jumping, ATV/go-karting etc etc (all that pre-kids fun stuff!) we did. I also don’t wear my engagement ring when we go skiing, it feels weird under gloves and I worry about accidentally pulling it off with the glove on a mountain or something.

I’ve always worn mine on holiday- in the sea and pool. They just wouldn’t come off that easily. I once left my engagement ring at home because we were going somewhere that had experienced robberies of tourists but I wear it regularly in london which is probably equally risky!

What's with the 'fakes'? Are you worried ppl won't know you're married without a ring and talk to you? 🤣🤣🤣

Mine are included for “all risks” on my house insurance so wear them everywhere.

I don't wear my engagement ring anymore but wear my wedding ring every day regardless of what I'm doing, it's only a plain band though and I had to take it off with washing up liquid last time I needed to remove it! DH takes his off to swim so would leave in the safe if we're having a pool day.

Gosh it’s never occurred to me to take mine off. I have a plain band plus a small row of diamonds engagement ring and a much more valuable eternity ring and I only take them off if my fingers swell. I swim a few times a week as well. Married 34 years.

Are all of you wearing your rings very loose?

If you know you're going to be swimming or at the beach a lot then sure I think it's a good idea to leave them at home. I went to Greece with friends just after getting engaged and took a cheaper ring with me as I was so terrified of losing the real one.

Nowadays the jewellery always comes with me as we holiday in cities but if we do a beach day then I leave anything expensive in the apartment.

I just wear mine all the time!

I also have always had a plain band inexpensive wedding ring for holidays

I do take them, but don't wear them in the pool - I put them inside a balled up pair of socks with the rest of my underwear if I have to leave them in the hotel room.
The other thing you can do if you don't want to take off is secure then on your finger with some micropore tape while swimming.

The only time I took mine was in North Africa, many years ago. I wouldn't bother now because of a change in attitude of cohabiting. I and my DD have lost jewelry on holiday and it just ruins the experience.

Ps I don't think you're unreasonable though. I think it also depends on the jewellery you wear : value etc

I take mine but always leave them in the hotel safe during the day. I wouldn't book a hotel that didn't have a safe. For me it's not just swimming in my jewellery, it's the thought of sun tan lotion and sand etc.

I also have my engagement ring checked once a year at the jeweller we bought it from to check that the claws etc are all perfect etc. I've never worried about losing a diamond or breaking it in the pool.

I take fake jewellery when I go on holiday - but keep real wedding ring. Mine is a plain band though, no stones and I dont take it off to go swimming
