To ask if you would ever wear a non-wedding ring on your 'wedding' finger?

[Syrinx89]

I'm not married and I don't like rings on my middle finger as I find them uncomfortable. I already have a ring for my right hand 4th finger, but am looking to buy another for a different finger. I wonder how many of you would wear a ring on your left hand 4th finger if you're not married? I know this sounds ridiculous , but I'm wondering whether it's normal these days, or whether I will start to get questions on whether I'm engaged/married!

YANBU - Yes I would wear a non-wedding ring on my wedding finger
YABU - I wouldn't

I know it’s a bit silly, but I wouldn’t.

People will assume that you are married or engaged. As long as this doesn’t bother you then carry on!

No, I wouldn't. Just because people would use it to start conversations about your engagement/marriage and I wouldn't want to keep telling them that I wasn't and I just liked the ring!

I would.
Does anyone really check or care that deeply about what rings are on what finger and their significance nowadays?

I am happily with my DP but not bothered about marriage (as yet anyway)... I have a feeling that I might constantly get asked. Perhaps if it wasn't a wedding-y ring? I think I'm leaning towards YABU myself 😂💍

I think it's because I'm at that age where people are already engaged/married, so it wouldn't be unreasonable to think that I've got engaged! I know this is a silly thread, but I really hate rings on my middle finger and feel I have limited options!

This was my first thought too. Do whatever makes you happy though.

Been divorced for two years (my instigation) still wear my wedding ring.

I have two Pandora rings on that finger - they don't look like wedding rings to my mind - not many brides choose a tiara ring.
I am divorced and not interesting in dating so don't care what anyone else thinks.
That said my mother asks me every time she sees me about my "new" ring and if I have a boyfriend. Think the repeat questions may be a sign of something else going on there

No because that would be weird, your just look like some sad woman that has done it as she wants to be married and her DP doesn’t want to marry her......

I'm pretty sure I did wear a ring on that finger in my late teens, but not after. Maybe just keep wearing a ring on the index finger and you will get used to it?

I used to wear a silver Celtic style ring on that finger.....convenient when men came into work that I wasn’t interested in (single at the time!) - I just used to twist it round to show the plain band

I have done when travelling solo... it can be helpful to have men assume I'm married.
I wouldn't generally, but I'm not a big fan of wearing rings at all really so I have plenty of other fingers to choose from!

Gosh a lot of people attaching a lot of importance to ops finger.
OP many cultures don’t wear rings to denote marital status, and many UK residents are of those cultures. Likewise several cultures wear wedding rings on the right hand.
Wear whichever rings give you pleasure on whichever hand/digit you prefer.
I have two wedding rings but sometimes I prefer my big clunky dress fake ring on that finger. It doesn’t mean I have left him .

I wouldn't. In your situation, I think it would just look as though you wanted to get married but your DP didn't want to! Obviously I'm not saying that is the case but it would cross my mind that it could be...

I wear rings on the finger that they fit. My wedding and engagement rings fit better on the opposite hands these days, but due to they way they've worn, they can give me dermititis so over the winter I've had phases of not wearing them. I still love DH regardless of what jewellery I wear!

Im only comfortable wearing rings on that finger, on either hands. So i would and do.

I think it's weird to think that deeply about it.

I'm widowed, but before i was married/engaged, i used to.

I know it's utterly stupid, but no I wouldn't wear one.

People will assume you are engaged or married, if that isn't an issue for you then I think it's fine. I wouldn't have as when I was single I didn't want to deter anyone who might have been interested. However I did wear a wedding ring when in a certain country as I wanted to discourage the men who tended to be a bit grabby

No i personally never wore any rings on that finger until i was engaged and then married. I have no issues with anyone else doing that tho but you will get asked lots of questions im sure. ( from friends / family etc )

"Obviously I'm not saying that is the case but it would cross my mind that it could be..."

It sounds as though a lot of people need to work on their nasty mindedness.

I never did. I wore them on the middle finger instead, on both hands.

The only rings I wore on my ring finger were engagement or wedding ones, or replacements that looked similar when they didn't fit.

I just didn't want anyone to think I wasn't single, it seemed wrong somehow.

I'm wearing a Pandora ring on that finger because it was a lovely unexpected gift from one of my best friends and I love it.
It's the finger that it fit on.

It's just a finger, my finger and I'll wear what I want on it. I couldn't care less if mean minded people think it makes me look sad

How about a signet ring for your little finger?

Crack on, your ring, your finger!
