aibu to not wear my wedding ring?

[allthecarbs]

And wonder who else does the same?
I can't stand wearing jewellery. I can constantly feel it on me and feel restricted and annoyed by it. We've been married for 1 1/2 years now but I'd say I've only worn my ring for 6 months of that.

It upsets dh but I don't know what I can do. Anyone else the same?

I only wear mine out of the house. I put them on when I'm getting ready but take them off when I get home. Partly because I'm worried I'll knock them.

I usually don't take mine off, but did the other day as I was using power tools. I forgot to put it back on and was questioned if my relationship was OK by colleagues at work the next day, clearly other people notice as I hadn't!

DH usually wears his however will often take it off to put on hair wax and forget to put it back on.

We both like wearing our rings but aren't fussed if the other doesn't for any reason.

Brenda you do sound like a very bad wife. How dare you not change your name!

I think it's probably more acceptable for a woman not to wear her ring. I've seen women go crazy when their husband doesn't wear a ring.

I forget to put mine on quite frequently. DH forgets his occasionally. Neither of us get upset about it - not wearing a ring doesn't mean we stop being married for the day.

In films you never see the woman taking off her wedding ring in order to signal her availability.

I don't wear my wedding or engagement rings as I was skinny when I got engaged and married. Four years and a baby later I'm three stone heavier and they don't fit. Not bothered about the wedding ring but GUTTED about the engagement ring as I love it.

Before we got married DH said he might not wear a ring and would I mind? I told him I wouldn't mind but if he wasn't then I wasn't either. He wears his more often than I wear mine now I couldn't wear mine during my third trimester or for a month after DD but I do tend to
keep them on.

My Dad never wears a ring, in his work it would be a safety hazard (plus he's just not that sort of guy). Mum has only started wearing hers regularly in the last couple of years (after almost 40 years of marriage). It's an individual thing that matters to some people and not others.

Nah, mine (got two) only when I want to get poshed up and signify I'm Actually Married, so, got a rose gold heavily carved one that's truly beautiful, and a silver coloured one (platinum, that sound right?), to go with other silver jewellery. Both pristine, why should I want anyone panning for gold in my drains after X years of marriage ? . Never bothered with an engagement ring. Got a puppy instead
Where we got married, a ring for the husband was part of the service, so we bought one for him. Hung it on a hook over the bed, swore I'd put it through his nose to lead him about.
Only wear a ring on the left hand ring finger, so these get interchanged with my parents engagement/wedding/sapphire rings,dress rings, as the mood takes me.

i never wear mine. Males my finger black. Its 18 ct

I usually wear mine put cant at the moment post pregnancy. I miss it but that's me personally. DH rarely wears his and I knew he wouldn't before we married. Like you hates things on his wrists/hands. We know we're married so it really doesn't bother either of us!

I thought I'd wear mine and DH would be the one who didn't however I only wear mine if we are going out or I'm out which is very rare event and he doesn't take his off-ever.
My lack of ring and the fact I've not changed my name gets commented on all the time especially at work but it neither DH or I think it's a big deal. It's just my personal
Preference, Id be angry if anything happened to my rings, and there's a good chance they could get damaged or covered in other people's bodily fluids so I leave them safe in the house.

I don't see a problem, it's personal choice. If you felt you wanted to wear a ring but don't like jewellery have you thought about a tattoo on your ring finger?

I'm not married yet but with my engagement ring Iv had periods of wearing it constantly then gained weight and it didn't fit now I can get it on but it's still not right so if I really fancy it I will.

Basically my rule is if I want to wear it I will but if I don't it doesn't mean I'm any less committed.

I dont wear mine. In fact im not really sure where it is. I assume its with my engagement ring somewhere. But equally it might not be. Its been a while since I saw either of them.
