Do you wear your wedding ring?

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.

I haven't taken my wedding ring off since I got married. Other rings are on or off depending on what I'm doing.

I have several friends who didn't have a ring because they don't like the feel and others who take them on and off. Mostly I think it's sensory.

I wear mine all the time only removing it to clean it when I clean my engagement ring which I also never take off.
I have had them resized once.
I love the symbolism of it. It’s important to me but I don’t have any view on what other people do.

@pearhale why bother exchanging rings in the first place if you removed it the next day and never wore it again?

We just wanted to include the exchange in the ceremony and have them to pass on to the dcs. They only cost a few hundred each so not a big deal to get them.

I wear them every minute of the day, mainly because it’s easier to keep them safe.

Yes everyday. I can't wear my engagement ring at work but wear it all other times. I wear my aunts engagement ring on my right ring finger if I'm going out.
I take them off at bedtime. DH wears his wedding ring all the time.
No ones business if you do or don't

No I haven't worn them in years don't see why I need to

I wore it when I first got married for about 5 or 6 years. DH lasted less than a year before he pronounced he didn't need a ring to know he was married and put it in the cupboard.

I do actually like it, it's just too small right now to wear comfortably.
