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?

I don't wear my wedding ring or any other jewellery on a daily basis. I like my fingers the way they are ...as in I have all 10 of them. I also don't wear earrings as I would have to take them off for some PPE ( personal protective equipment) I have to wear . Also a friend lost 2 wedding rings while kayaking and wasn't popular with his wife for months on 2 separate occasions ( same run on the river though) he wears his on a chain round his neck now. My hubs works in the same area as me, but in a different job so he wears his ring but I can't and I can't even wear my watch or my own clothes tbh in some areas while he is more office based. Not wearing a ring doesn't mean he is playing away or doesn't take your vows seriously.

Mine doesn't, he hates jewellery. We argued about it for four years as it was important to me that he wore one. In end I gave in otherwise we'd never have married.

My dad has never worn his and it doesn’t both my mum.

I don’t wear mine, it’s uncomfortable and I don’t wear jewellery. He can’t wear his for work so often doesn’t. We’re happy, it doesn’t mean anything

Mine does, yes. That said, if he had never wanted to wear one because he disliked wearing jewellery, I’d be fine with it. That’s completely different to a bloke who suddenly decides he can’t wear one.

Mine wears his at home, but takes it off when he goes to the gym. He also doesn't wear it at work for certain reasons. I'm glad he does wear it when he can, I like to see it on him and he prefers to wear it over not.

Yes, DH wears his all the time. I quite often don't wear mine because I take it off if I'm painting at night and just forget. I hardly wear jewellery these days.

No mine doesn't.

But then I don't always wear mine

he doesn't even really have one. The ring he married in was made by a friend out if scrap metal... it's interesting and precious to us but very fragile. He can't really wear it day to day. He only wore it on the wedding day and that's it.
I don't wear my wedding ring to work. And sometimes I forget about it.
I like to wear it if I'm going away and he's not with me just for the sentiment it reminds me of him. But day to day I'm not too fussed.
I mean everyone we know knows we are married and I don't really give a shit what other people think.
Also if you think wedding rings prevent people having affairs you are having a laugh.
Plus lots of married men do not wear rings not for nefarious reasons but just as its not traditional to do so. So you can't really tell whether a man is married or not anyway.. I wouldn't assume a mam wasn't married just because he wasn't wearing a ring.

Your friend sounds like a shit stirring dick

Althought I don't disagree everything has been going on for nearly 11 years with no issues, now someone mentions it this does not need to make it into anything other than someone making a comment

No, he wore it for the wedding day and then never wore it again. He's doesn't wear any jewelry, not even a watch and has big fingers. Doesn't bother me at all.

DH doesn’t wear his because it’s now too small.
i don’t wear mine because I don’t care to advertise my marital status

It really is your business and yours alone! If you and your DH trust each other what difference does a ring make?

To add I eventually discovered that my ex husband used to take his off and put it in his pocket when he left the house so he could pretend to be single. In the end I caught him with the OW and yep his ring was off of course.

My husband doesn't have a ring. No point as he wouldn't wear any jewellery. I don't have a ring either as I don't like them. We have been together 21 years, happily married for 15 years this year. It means nothing. It is a symbol if you choose to give it that symbolic meaning as part of your ceremony, but you can get married without rings like we did.

Having said that...when I was younger and way more attractive I had an old diamond type ring from my granny that I would sometimes wear if I was going away to conferences for work. It was to try to stop men from hitting on me. Oh to have that problem now!

Married for 10 years, I wear mine because I like them, husband has never had a ring, not even for the ceremony.
During wedding planning he said he would never wear one because he doesn't like wearing jewellery so it would have been a total waste of money.
I can't say it's ever bothered me to be honest!

I think she's being a bit of a s**t stirrer. My husband does but I don't. I have very sensitive skin and my psoriasis is having an awful flare and the rings caused my finger to be very sore. My best friend doesn't wear hers either due to the same, plus our occupations don't let us wear rings with stones in.

My dad doesn’t have a wedding ring, he never wears any jewellery including watches. My husband wears his way more than I wear mine 😂😂

King Charles does. He wears it on his pinkie stacked with his signet ring. Harry wears a ring and did when he was performing royal duties.

Many British men don't wear wedding rings. I have no idea about other nations. Men who wear signet rings often find that the two rings are uncomfortable and many men from aristocratic families wear a signet ring but it's not a hard and fast rules that they don't wear wedding bands.

No, my husband doesn’t wear his. Stopped shortly after the wedding. He can’t wear it at work for H&S reasons. He is an engineer and works with a machinery, also goes away for work. He used to put it on at weekends but the he misplaced it. We found it in the end but he never wore it since. It’s in my jewellery box together with my wedding ring 😄 my fingers got bigger in time and hit to tight. It’s made of white and yellow gold with engraving inside so couldn’t get it made bigger. I now have a little decorative band instead that I wear with my engagement ring, not exactly a wedding band.

My dad has always worn his - takes off for exercise and going to bed. FIL hasn’t worn his for about 15 years due to work and he can’t wear it now because his arthritis is so bad it won’t go even over one knuckle.

I don’t wear my rings all the time because I find them irritating about the house so I could never insist on DH doing the same. We both wear our rings to work if we remember, and if we are going out somewhere. I treat it like other jewellery in that respect.

i think some people find it a bit odd I don’t wear my rings all the time as so many women never take them off at all but my mum only ever wears hers in the same way as mine - same as MIL so it doesn’t feel odd to me.

I would be a bit put out if DH never wanted to wear it ever.

Neither of us wore ours for years. Mine didn’t fit, and he didn’t like wearing his. I don’t think it matters whether you wear it or not tbh, it has no bearing on whether you will be faithful.

No, he didn’t even have one for the ceremony.

Cheaters gonna cheat. Whether they wear a ring is neither here nor there.

Your friend has probably got trust issues.

I wear mine, DH wore it for the first week but it was driving him crazy. He’s never worn any jewellery except a FitBit. My dad or grandad never wore one, mum and dad still married, nan and grandad married 70 odd years before he died.

He keeps saying he wants a rubber one but I don’t know why, I feel like that would be worse for him.

People cheat with a ring on.

No, and he's never had one. I think he had some friendship bands at uni in the 1980s but I've never seen him wear any form of jewellery since!

Mine doesn’t wear one as his job makes it dangerous it’s not suspicious at all and after all these years and 6 kids I’m far from naive and his been nothing but faithful it’s never been a question that his ring is on a chain around my neck 🤷‍♀️
