Does your husband wear a wedding ring?

[2024BigWhoop]

I have been married for almost 11 years and my husband has never worn a wedding ring.

He just says he hates wearing jewellery and finds it really uncomfortable.

I have never had an issue with this but yesterday my friend raised her eyebrow when the topic came up and said it’s very suspicious that he doesn’t want people to know he’s married.

I said it isn’t about that and he just doesn’t like wearing jewellery but she told me not to be so naive.

Do your husbands / wives wear wedding rings and does it bother you if they don’t?

Mine has never worn his, we just bought it for the ceremony.

I don’t wear mine very often either though, mainly for special occasions along with my engagement ring. I just don’t like the feel of rings for every day use.

Yes, he’s only ever taken it off for an MRI.
I have several, I don’t wear my regular ring set when I’m riding so I have a lower profile ring to wear.

My DH does. He wasn’t actually planning to beyond our wedding day as he wears a family signet ring on his little finger and though having 2 together would annoy him
but actually he decided he liked wearing it so continued. Plenty of men I know don’t though and I don’t think it’s remotely suspicious. A very happily married couple were are friends with both never wear their rings.

Yes.

Royalty and aristocracy men don’t.

We don't wear ours.

Mine wears his. My dad has never worn one, he played a lot of sport and is prone to losing things. Also hates jewellery. I don’t think anything underhand is going on! I know a few women who don’t wear one either.

Yes, but I don't.

My GFs, DDad and FIL did not wear wedding rings. My GF saw someone almost lose their finger due to a machine and his wedding ring so he stopped wearing it there and then.

Mine does. He only takes it off if he's running or swimming.

My dh wears a wedding ring and I actually like the fact that he does.
If he refused to wear his ring , I would feel quite justified in not wearing mine either which I know he wouldn’t like

My dad never wore his.. he eventually gave it to his son for his wedding. Still married to my mum

Mine doesnt, he is not allowed at work anyway

I don't wear one either, it bugs me when its on all the time

He does, I don't. I don't like wearing rings and conviently it turns out I'm allergic to it. I don't massively care for the whole marriage thing in hindsight either.

No, neither of us do now. I'm not even sure how that happened, there wasn't a blazing row about it. I think after three pregnancies and swollen fingers, mine came on and off that much that it just got put away and then lost. Dh's was off more recently to protect it when doing work and I think it's in the bedside drawer.

We've been married 21 years with no issues to get the trust heebeejeebies going, still going strong. I'm sure cheating spouses are more than capable of slipping rings on and off as required 🤷

DH has one and goes through phases of wearing it. He's not sure where it is right now but knows it's in the house somewhere! I don't mind one way or the other.

My brother never had one as he never wears rings and thought he'd only lose it, and he's not the straying type. A lot of guys just don't wear any jewellery and they're not going to start because they're married, there's nothing suspicious about it.

No neither of us can wear them at work so we never really have - I'd probably lose it if I had to take it off all the time as I never got used to it

We don't wear ours..

I get ezema and rings trapped moisture behind it.

My husband stretched his years ago playing football and never got it replaced. We both know we are married.

A ring isnt a barrier if somebody really wanted to cheat.

Neither of us do. I hate wearing jewellery and gave up on trying to cope with it about 20 years ago. My husband lost his years ago and neither of us cared enough to replace it.

We're both aware we're married to each other and since it doesn't matter to either of us, it doesn't matter for us iyswim.

If it mattered to me he'd wear it and if it mattered to him I'd wear mine but I'd be pissed off because I hate the way rings feel

DH rarely wears his, and just recently told me it was lost

I wear mine very sporadically.

Neither of us are massive jewellery/watch wearers anyway.

DH used to, but stopped during Covid with all the hand-washing. I don't think it's a big deal - some men do and some don't.

DH wears his, but I don't wear mine.

No he doesn't. He doesn't like jewellery and doesn't wear any.

It wasn't really a thing here until the war, I don't think, and he doesn't like the custom.

I've never once worried about his loyalty. If a man wants to cheat wearing a wedding ring is not going to stop him, nor will it stop the women who might oblige.

Not sure why not wearing a ring is suspicious, friend of mine wears a very conspicuous wedding band, is a pillar of the church, but "shags away" at every opportunity

Mine does, but he finds it uncomfortable. He’s never worn any jewellery, not even a watch.

Mine wears his. He lost it once at home having taken it off before he prayed. He searched high and low for it and when he finally found it said he wouldn't take it off and hasn't (to my knowledge at least). I love mine but I do love jewellery in general though and don't take it off.

Your friend shouldn't be so judgemental and should keep her opinions to herself. My sister never wears hers whereas her dh has never taken his off.

Your friend is aware that people can remove rings at any point, right?
You'd never know if they took it off the moment they left the house. I don't think she's really thought about it logically.
