Wedding ring

DH has not worn wedding ring since we got married 20+ years ago. Got a new ring as an anniversary present this year. Still forgets to wear it. AIBU to feel angry and take away the ring as I think he does not deserve it?

You might as well take it back and spent the money on something else. Sounds like he really doesn't want to wear a wedding ring.

I think it was a daft thing to do buying him another ring this year after he never wore the original one.

Some people just do not like wearing jewellery.

Yabu.

Did he ask for the ring or do you want him to want it?

Yabu. You can't take a gift back because it's not being used as you wish. I can see why you'd be upset, I would be but it was silly to buy it in the first place.

ConstantWorrywort · 16/03/2015 08:06

icklekid, he asked for it.

If he asked for it and doesn't wear then YANBU. Bit pointless really.

No, you don't buy a gift and then take it back. You just don't. Confused

He's still married to you therefore he deserves it. If he wants it as an ornament that's up to him, not you.

yabu. You gave him a gift, its his and up to him if and when he wears it. If he bought you earrings and you didn't wear them enough would it be ok for him to snatch them back?

surely if he hasn't worn one for 20 years he's likely to forget to put it on or maybe it feels weird when it's on. I know when I first got married I never ever wore any jewellery and my rings felt so strange, they really bugged me until I got used to them.
My DH doesn't wear a ring either, he did at first until he nearly ripped his finger off when his ring got caught at work. He leaves it at home now and hasn't worn it for years, doesn't bother me.
