To ask, do you/OH wear a wedding ring?

[HildaZelda]

Just curious really.

My rings are gold which was fashionable at the time, but I don't particularly like them now as almost all the rest of my jewellery is silver. (I did look into getting them dipped, but the setting of the stones means it would be very awkward) So whether or not I wear them depends on what else I'm wearing. I do wear them sometimes but it's hit and miss. Probably 50/50 I'd say.
I don't wear them to work or the gym (safety reasons) but will almost always wear them on a night out.

MIL CONSTANTLY comments on it, so much so that I've taken to deliberately NOT wearing them around her, I know it's childish but as far as I'm concerned, it's none of her business anyway.

DH always wears his ring. He's not bothered whether I do or not and if he didn't wear one it wouldn't bother me either.

Just wondering whether people wear them always or whether, like me, they come on and off?

DH doesn’t have one. He doesn’t wear jewellery/didn’t like the feel of it and I didn’t care so he doesn’t.

I have a wedding and engagement ring. Generally wear them for work or when I’m getting dressed up but not day to day looking after the kids/going to playgroup/cleaning the house. DH couldn’t care less either way if I wear them. I will be honest, I don’t really “get” it. My rings are nice and all but my rings don’t equal my marriage.

We both wear ours 24/7

Platinum

Don't even notice mine's there

No ..we opted not to have rings at the time (there is no legal reason to ) .. I never wear any other sort of ring either,neither does he . I find them annoying

My wedding ring was my granny’s, so has a great deal of sentimental value. It’s a plain gold band, and I never take it or my engagement ring off

DH does but I don't. I have never worn jewellery. It makes me feel all claustrophobic.

Never had my ears pierced, wore a watch, necklace, bracelets or anything.

DH isn't bothered. I wouldn't be bothered if he never wore his.

Yes, we both wear our rings. I’m not really into jewellery though so I have a half carat solitaire and a plain wedding band - both white gold. They don’t get in the way but I still take them off to shower or exercise.

Never wear ours. Don’t share a name. I don’t use Mrs. Never been an issue.

My wedding ring and engagement ring are platinum, but I have a gold eternity ring, so if I want to wear gold jewellery I wear this ass an alternative. I like to wear a ring on that finger but don't feel it always has to be my wedding ring. DH doesn't wear his as he finds it uncomfortable. Doesn't bother me either way but I know some of our friends or family think we're odd for this!

I got a ring when i got married at 19, but took it off as soon as i got home, it bugged me as i was not used to wearing jewellery. I have never worn it, been 31 years now. DH doesnt either due to his work

Wear mine all the time. DH wears his on his right hand, for some reason it gives him a rash on his left ring finger.

We both have a ring. I wear mine every day and take them off for bed, swimming, washing, hot and sticky etc. They annoy me after a while.

DH wears his at the weekend and evenings out. He thought he wouldn't have one and surprised himself at the jewellers when he realised he really quite liked the idea and asked for a matching one to mine.

Yes dh and I both wear them everyday.

Nah neither my husband or I wear rings. We know we’re married as does everyone else :-)

Yes, both of is do. Platinum rings, love them and feel naked without them.
It’s up to you what you do as a couple though.

I wear my wedding ring all the time. I never wear my engagement ring as it's too big now.

Husband wore his wedding ring for maybe a day. He doesn't anymore.

No one comments.

We both do, DH wasn’t sure about getting one as he has slim hands and thought it’d look daft. I take mine off for housework, my rings are both platinum I wouldn’t have white gold since it needs re-dipped.

DH always wears his. I take mine off to sleep/wash-up/cook. I never could keep them while doing something like prepping raw chicken. All the little diamonds on the band seem like cracking places for nasty bacteria to hide. I'd say I remember to put them back on most mornings.

We pretty much always wear them. We spent a reasonable amount on them and put a lot of thought into them, so would be pretty annoyed if my dh didn’t want to wear his. I only take my rings off for things like hand mixing dough or cleaning something with harsh chemicals. My dh has a profession that involves a lot of work with his hands. He sometimes takes his off, but it’s scratched up enough now that he doesn’t bother much anymore.

That said, it wouldn’t bother me in the least if other people didn’t wear their rings. My dh, yes, I would be upset as it’s a symbolic sign of our commitment to each other. But your MIL needs to but out. It’s not her marriage and you two can do whatever you want!

I always wear my rings apart from swimming and the like incase I loose them.
My husband doesn't always wear his mainly because he forgets to put in on. He lost his actually wedding ring for a while so bought a cheap copy but has now found his actual ring. It doesn't bother me as there is no agenda to him not wearing it and he isn't the type to cheat

Only if I remember. I couldn’t wear them during pregnancy and still struggle with them now. Plus they are a tad too big. OH wears his most days. He doesn’t really care if I wear mine or not. I wasn’t really a ring wearer before getting married anyways.

I only wear my engagement and eternity rings when I'm going out somewhere, as I don't want to risk losing a stone in the washing up bowl or something, but both DH and I wear our wedding rings all the time. They just never get taken off. They're plain gold bands, they don't get in the way.

Me and DH both wear ours all the time.

I take mine off breifly when doing things like putting on tights - the setting is such that ladders are almost certain. DH takes his off for applying hair gel etc but they always go straight back on.

Saying that I've worn the same necklace without taking it off (with the exception of surgery) since the day after our wedding. It was a present from DH.

I wear a watch all the time except showering etc. I just have basic jewellery that I never take off except for cleaning etc.

I never take wedding or engagement ring off. Ever. Except to clean them once a month and then my hands feel completely naked! DH also never takes his ring off. SIL is half the time without her engagement ring though and I had a friend who took hers off to sleep and shower so I think it’s completely personal preference.

Yes, wedding and engagement ring and never take them off (recently had surgery that was the only time they'd come off in a long time).
DH doesn't wear rings, he's not into them, got a cheapie one for the wedding day that he only wore that day.

I do - white gold and it’s a simple band with a row of diamonds on. Always have both my rings on. Dh wears his - titanium band - all the time.

I like wearing it - I feel happy to have that symbol on my finger. Mainly as I was beginning to wonder if I ever would lol
