To expect DP to wear a wedding ring all the time once we're married?

[pepperonipizza]

He says most of the men he knows only wear their wedding rings on special occasions. I say that's very weird and all if my friends DHs wear their wedding rings all the time. I'm not talking about taking it off to do washing up/ decorating/ other dirty jobs, that's completely to be expected. But to only wear it on special occasions (I think that means a meal out or whatever). Strange, no?!

The married men that I know wear their rings all the time.

DH never takes his off - even to do the jobs you mentioned

mine doesn't. He intermittantly wears it lol, but he works in a diy store and does lots of lifting and i think it gets in his way sometimes.

DH doesn't have one. Its personal choice surely some men just don't like wearing jewellery of any kind.

I don't wear one and my DH does! It's because I hate wearing any jewellery and will only wear it to go out

Very strange imo. Is he reluctant to get married do you think?

I find it a bit odd when married men don't wear a ring - fair enough if their fingers are too fat or they have a metal allergy but otherwise I don't understand why they wouldn't want to wear one?

DH wears his all the time, more than I do actually! I have fat fingers

DH takes his off at the beach or swimming,as it is a little loose,and he is afraid he might lose it.
He actually said he didn't fancy wearing one much before we married,but now he likes it.Maybe he will feel differently after the wedding etc.

My DH doesn't wear his very often, as he finds it a bit irritating to wear anything, watches, rings or whatever. He only had a wedding ring because I sort of coerced him. It doesn't bother me that he doesn't wear it.

Mine wore his on the wedding day only. I wore mine for about 9 months. Some people just don't like wearing jewellery.

I know lots of married men who don't wear rings - I don't see what the big deal is really.

My DH lost his. We can't be arsed to replace.

DH wears his all the time too.
Each to their own though I guess

DH wears his ring all the time, but I know a few men who only wear them on special occasions.
One is a mechanic, and he found he kept catching it on things and it ended up with a dint in it.
Another is a fireman, and he is not allowed to wear any jewellery at all when he's on duty.
Another is a farmer, who didn't like the dirt and poo that collected under the ring, so decided not to wear it.

I suppose it's not that unusual.

My dh wears his all the time but my dad hated wearing jewellry of any kind even a watch , ask your dp how he would feel if you only wore your wedding ring on special occasions

mine doesn't, he doesn't like rings.

Some men don't like wearing Jewellery and some like my Dad took theirs off as he got it caught on equipment at work and nearly lost his finger.

My didn't want one and it has never made me doubt him or our marriage. Very few of my friends/colleagues do either.

Tracey - that's what DP says, but I feel a bit offended, as if it means he doesn't want to get married much. He says that's rubbish and it's just that he doesn't like wearing jewellery.

YABU

Its a bit of jewellery. No biggy.

We bought me a cheap one purely for the ceremony, but neither of us wear one.

Did he want a wedding ring, neither DH or I wanted wedding rings so we do not have them. It may be odd if he suddenly decided he did not want to wear it.

DH nearly lost his finger and had his cut off when he tried to jump a fence, caught the ring and ended up hanging by the finger. Apparently that's what happens if you're not used to wearing jewellery . He has a new one now though and wears it all the time, except in the gym.
