To want DH to wear a wedding ring?

[Elfina]

I suspect I am.

He says that wearing it bugs him because of the sensation. I think he'd get used to it if he'd wear one for a decent length of time! He is generally a hit funny about sensory things. I know it shouldn't matter, but I'd love him to!

YABU.

Dh wears his because he wants to. I used to wear mine but gave up years back partly because I was constantly fiddling with it to make sure it didn't get stuck on my finger and partly because I just don't like the feeling of jewellery and never have.

He's not bothered about it but if he was and nagged on about it I'd aim to lose it completely. My finger, my choice and likewise for anyone else.

Had a brief look and one plain wedding band I've seen has a price tag of £450

That to me is a LOT of money and if I'd paid that much for Dh to decide he didn't want to wear it again I would be furious and visa versa.

Fwiw. We paid a fraction of that amount for both our rings and have no issue with them.

Op, hope you can work round it x

whatthe I can understand why you thought my waste of money comment was a nasty turn of phase. I have a treasured necklace that was given to me by a cousin whose since died. I never wear it because if I lost it I would be devastated. But I see no sense whatsoever in paying that amount I said in my previous post for it only to be worn once and never again. That's why I said I think it's a waste of money.

We both wear ours because we want to. They have the other person's name and the date engraved inside and we feel they are a symbol of our commitment to the outside world. Our mutual commitment goes without saying.
We also have rings to mark other events. DH's parents died close together. He had their wedding rings made into a single "Bulgari" style that he wears on his third finger, right hand. I wear an interlocking 4-ring Russian wedding ring with our and DCs' names engraved inside on my corresponding finger.

The loss of any of these would be sad but not devastating. They're just visible reminders of important events.

Neither of us wear one. DH would find it difficult in his work and I hate rings.

I have a wedding ring, dh doesn't. We never even got him one, didn't seem much point to us just for the sake of it. He isn't one for jewellery and I love sentimental jewellery so I wear mine and he doesn't have one, each choice down to the person who will/won't be wearing it. You are not being U for hoping he will wear one as that's just how you feel, you would be U to push the issue, though, from what you've said though you haven't done that.
