Do you wear your wedding ring?

[FourLeafedToadstool]

Chatting with some mums at a match at the weekend, and I horrified them! I mentioned I hadn't worn my wedding ring since basically when I was pregnant with DC2 who is now 13. One was adamant I should get it resized asap.

I've started a new job in an office and noticed that all the women wear jewellery and I don't.

Do you wear your wedding ring? Do you think it strange if someone doesn't?

What about wearing another ring on the ring finger? I've a couple which I used to wear on index or middle finger when I was (a lot) younger which would now fit my ring finger.

No
It fits but why do I have to?

Not most of the time only if going out to a restaurant etc

Yes, I never take them off.

Mine are always on (wedding and engagement rings) unless I'm at the gym lifting weights.

I actually put mine back on yesterday for the 1st time in about 6 years as I've now lost enough weight to wear it again.
Didn't faze me nor DH in the slightest that I never wore it and I didn't want to get them resized again as I lost a lot of weight previously and had them made smaller..hence it not fitting when I inevitably put it back on 😂

I do wear mine because of the significance it holds to me, (we got married because DH knew he was terminally ill) wearing it now brings me comfort. I don't have any expectations that anyone else needs to wear their wedding ring though.

Some times I do, sometimes I don't. It moves hand depending on weight fluctuation. Sometimes I wear it with my engagement, but often not these days; it gets in the way when I'm at the gym. For me, my wedding and engagement rings are much treasured, but they are not tags

Been married 30 years but never worn a wedding (or engagement) ring. Doesn’t make me less married.

I wear my wedding ring all the time, but not my engagement ring, which is slightly smaller and doesn't fit comfortably now. I wouldn't particularly think it's strange if someone didn't wear theirs. I would, however, probably assume that a ring on someone's left ring finger was a wedding/engagement ring, though it wouldn't particularly bother me if it wasn't

Haven't wore mine in about 7 years, neither of us have.

Yes, I never take it off. Just a wedding ring, as I didn’t want an engagement ring. But I wouldn’t notice whether anyone else wears one or not.

No. I don’t wear mine. I will if we are going out for a dinner or something if I remember but 99% no, they are sat in a box.

Same here.

Wear one all the time and my engagement ring. I don't feel dressed without them, but I don't care whether other people wear one or not.

I've been married for nearly 30 years and very rarely take my wedding/engagement rings off.

However, you not wearing your rings is nobody else's business.

The opinion of anyone who is 'horrified' by the lack of wedding ring is to be taken with a huge pinch of salt.

I have had several. My first one broke. The second no longer fits. The third was hoovered up by accident. I wear the fourth if I am going out. My engagement ring was lost years ago and I have bought myself many replacements since. I only wear it occasionally if going out. I would find it odd if someone never wore one though.

I wear mine, but I don't think it's strange if someone doesn't.

I don't care what anyone else does but I don't wear a wedding ring.
It makes me feel owned.

The worst are women who are horrified if their DH decides to either not wear a wedding ring or decides to stop wearing it. Major security issues.

Why would you find it odd if someone never wore one?

I would assume the marriage didn’t mean much to them. I know someone who never wears a ring and has been married over 30 years. She and her OH have a strange relationship ( to me). They seem quite separate in many respects. I don’t think about it much though. Each to their own.

Not married. But travel a lot for work and sometimes then wear a wedding ring in a belief it might out off some inappropriate men. Whether it works or not, l’ve honestly no idea.

I don't wear them inside the house but put them both on any time I go out, even if it's just nipping to the shop for a loaf. Dh is the same.

I love my rings, I chose them both. I love being married. However, it's nobody else's business if you don't wear yours. Ultimately a marriage is a lot more than some jewellery whether you wear rings or not it shouldn't make any difference to anyone.

We’ve been very happily married for 30 years with 2 DC’s. Never felt the need to show that we’re married as a piece of jewellery doesn’t make for a happy marriage.

I got married in March, and I wear mine all the time, as does DH. I personally think it’s strange not to, unless you’re in a profession where you cannot wear it.
