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?

We both do - white gold.
Mine are way too big now though! Need to get them resized.

I and DH both do, our wedding and engagement rings.

He has always worn his, but he wore his mother's ring in memory of her before we met so he was used to ring wearing. I used to take mine off at night/for washing up/showers etc so would sometimes forget and not wear it. Then I had a baby and forgot to take it off for a week (exhaustion!) and by then I was used to it so just kept it on.

Oh, we also have tattoos on our wedding fingers. So that’s good

We both wear rings and have only ever taken them off for surgery

I love to watch dh gently spinning his ring while deep in thought

This weekend he bought me a beautiful new eternity ring on the 17th anniversary of us first meeting

It was to replace one that was a present on the birth of our second child when I had swollen fingers and couldn’t wear my other rings but is now too big to alter

DH wears his when he leaves the house. As soon as he comes in, he takes it off and leaves it with his wallet and keys.

I don’t very often wear my wedding ring as it needs to be worn with my engagement ring. More often, I’ll wear my eternity ring although usually that is on my right hand. Frequently I don’t wear any rings at all.

DH and I also don’t share a name and I am not a Mrs.

We both do, yellow gold. My H wears his father’s ring so would never take it off

I wear my wedding ring constantly, can’t wear engagement ring due to work but do try and remember it if going out. DH hardly ever wears his ring now as he works in construction so can’t for safety reasons

Matching white-gold rings here. Worn 24/7.

Don't wear my wedding ring, haven't changed my name. Not Mrs.
DH didn't want a ring.

Rarely - often no rings, sometimes other ones. We've been married over 30 years. Dh wears his always. I'm not really a ring person. Don't use my married name or Mrs either - hate labels. Not as common then as it was now.

Nope - I don't. He does.
I'm also a Ms and didn't take his name.

Doesn't have an impact on us as a couple.

I do, husband doesn't have one. I know very few men who do and I was surprised to learn this wasn't the norm...!

We have rose gold rings, which we both love and always wear them except in bath or at the gym.

I did remove my engagement ring only when my labour was being induced and kept it off the first week after our daughter was born.

Its diamond is heart shaped and I was really paranoid at first that I'd accidentally scratch her with it.

I'm prefer silver jewellery to gold, too, but my wedding ring was my grandmother's from 1940 so it's gold. Its also too big so I have to wear it with my engagement ring (also gold, but not the same colour because it's a different carat). I don't let it bother me about not matching my other things. I don't wear them all the time - rings come off at night as I get excema, and also for messy jobs so the setting doesn't get gunked up.
Having said all that, childish or not, I would definitely be inclined to remove them if MIL reacted like yours has, but only when she would see, just to be contrary. (EXH was the same - DM let him know once too often that she hates beards and he grew one just to annoy. I hate beards too and was livid as I'd been keeping my mouth shut knowing it was only temporary )

My husband's is brushed titanium and he wears it constantly

Mine are white gold. I take them off to shower, wash up, apply lotion and for work because I don't want the diamond in my engagement ring to get clogged up with soap scum etc

I do forget to put them back on quite often though because I have a brain like a sieve!

DH and I are recently married and have plain yellow gold bands. His was a bit too small and he was pretty gutted that he had to leave it behind when we went away after. Then he went off for a month with work as soon as we got back, so he was wedding ring-less for about two months by the time we got it resized. He has beautiful hands so I love seeing him wear it. I didn't change my name either, but the simplicity and symbolism of our rings makes me happy. Have seen enough degloving injuries through work to not mind if he takes it off if required. Yellow gold isn't the hardest wearing so I'd take it off at the gym etc, especially if I was doing weights.

Prince Harry broke with convention (at least in the RF) to start wearing a wedding ring- there is a bit of a class divide with fellas wearing them apparently. Unless you're like my Da who lost his a few months after they got married whilst renovating the house and never bothered replacing it!

We don't. I have a ring (somewhere in the house, not sure where) because the registrar said we had to have at least one for the legality of the wedding, but I have never worn it since the ceremony. I have DH's initial tattooed on my left ring finger, that I got because I wanted to.

Both of us do.

28 years married and I've never ever taken my wedding ring off. Partly because I couldn't get it off now if I tried but mostly because I quite like the idea of it staying there forever. We sold my engagement ring a few years back when we were struggling for money and replaced it with a look a like fake solitaire which to be honest I like better than the original it's bigger I don't wear it all the time though because I prefer the plainness of just wearing a single gold band. DH doesn't have a wedding ring - I really couldn't imagine him wearing one - he just isn't the jewellery type.

Been married years, neither of us wear them. Not even sure I know where mine is tbh

We are civil partners. I don't think we even discussed having rings.

My DH died last year but we both wore our engagement ( not many men have one ) and wedding rings all the time , I still were both of mine . My wedding ring is also my mums wedding ring .
The only jewellery I wear are my wedding & engagement rings ( both gold ) a sterling silver ring give to me by a very close friend about 20 years ago and my dads St Christopher chain , which belonged to his dad before him .
So three rings and one chain , but all have a very special meaning .

Didn't get engaged, didn't exchange rings. I was given my DGM's engagement ring for my 21st so I bought a gold band with an inset for that to fit into. Didn't wear it very often and one time my DD managed to lose it when she was playing in our room. I bought a replacement which again I wore rarely. Then a decade or so later the original one turned up. Weirdly the only time I put it on is when I'm flying...I think at the back of my mind is I'd be easier to identify if the plane crashed...
Take perverse delight in not wearing it when I go out with certain
Smug Marrieds...but I will put on some sparkly/chunky costume rings....as I say..perverse.

I wear my engagement ring and wedding band all the time except when I'm diving. DH is the same with his wedding band.

My engagement ring is silver and our wedding bands are gold.

Neither DH nor me have rings.

I don't particularly like rings so didn't want one.

The person it seems to bother the most is my mother
