Husband won’t wear his wedding ring

[PleaseSendNoodles]

I am aware this is not a big deal. My DH hardly ever wears his wedding ring. It’s just lobbed in a drawer. He says it’s uncomfortable and he’s ‘not a jewellery person’.

We bought one of those silicone ones as a compromise. It’s more practical for his kind of work and the gym etc... but he doesn’t wear that very often either.

I have zero concerns about him trying to convince other women he’s single.... it just irks me. AIBU?

My husband managed to keep his on for the week into our honeymoon. It's been back in its box ever since.

It doesn't worry me.

My husband sold his when we went through a rough patch... a pre mid life crisis. I had a long thread or 2 7 years ago under a different name.

We are closer now than ever but it hurts 😔

Some people just aren't into rings. My Dad, uncles, brother-in-law and eldest brother never had them and if I were married, I wouldn't either! Perhaps some folk initially go for one to keep the peace, so to speak, but cast it off as soon as they can.

I love my wedding and engagement ring but I never ever wear them because they are a little big and I fear I could lose them.
My husband wears his the whole time and we are almost 20yrs married, maybe it looks like I'm going around with a married

i wore mine on the day i got married and the next morning it came off never to be worn again , i hate the feel of rings , its niggly and annoying , i wouldnt be bothered by it as hes told you the reason why he doesnt wear it

This thread is a bit like the changing your name upon marriage thread. Lots of women who don't like their maiden names so change their names on marriage. I have never met a man who doesn't like his name.

I understand why you feel like this. Why do we receive and wear wedding rings? Why is it, most of the time, the men who 'don't like jewelry' or don't wear them. Bear in mind that wearing a wedding ring shows you are 'taken'. I assume your husband wouldn't be bothered if you didn't wear your ring?

Let's not pretend it's anything but a sign of being in a relationship. Wear your rings but don't feel you have to wear them on specific fingers!

DH doesn’t wear one, hates jewellery on himself, always has. I’ve never given it a moments thought as you’d have to like it to wear one surely. I love a bit of jewellery on the other hand. He’s a very trustworthy person.

My husband has never had one, as I have my grandma’s wedding ring and his grandma’s engagement ring it saved us a fortune. I quite often don’t wear mine and DH doesn’t even notice. DH only ever wears a watch which is his Grandfather’s so we’re rather a cheap couple. We’ve been married 30 years.

Married 27 years, DH didn't want a ring because he knew he wouldn't wear it. Fine by me. His father, married 70 years didn't have one either.

Didn't even buy my husband one. Traditionally only the woman received a ring in the marriage vows (yes I know this is problematic for feminism).

I wouldn't be very happy with this and I've never had trust issues. I'd just see it as disrespectful.

In generations gone by, spouses always wore there's and that's why I'm situations where you're asked to remove jewellery, you're usually always permitted to keep your wedding ring on

don't even know where mine is

I don't wear my wedding ring..stopped during COVID and now I'm too fat for it 🤣

I'll probs start wearing it again once it fits!

*theirs

I don't wear mine because I just couldn't get used to it. I make it no secret that I'm married though!

Not in my experience. The men in my family have never worn rings, that's probably why I see it as a non-issue. It's the same in my husband's family. Men don't wear jewellery.

My husband doesn’t have s wedding ring and I don’t wear mine after it got stuck on my finger, twice
It doesn’t bother me in the slightest

Neither me or my husband wear ours anymore. We persevered for a couple of years trying to get used to them but we just found them annoying. We don’t have manual jobs or anything, and we’re fully committed to each other, we just don’t want to wear them.

My husband doesn't have one at all as he doesn't like wearing rings. I couldn't care less. Tbf I don't wear mine as a sign of commitment, I wear them cause they're pretty and I like them lol.

My dh doesn't have one. He tried a few on but knew he'd never wear it so we didn't bother. I got out of the habit of wearing mine as I had to take it off for work and kept forgetting to put it on. Occasionally I remember about half way through a week of annual leave and dig it out of my jewellery box.

I only remember one grandparent of four wearing a wedding ring, and my mum and dad never did either. I really don’t think it’s a big deal for most people.

Haven’t worn mine for years because my finger got too fat, feel a bit guilty actually because my husband never takes his off.

I think it’s nice when both parties wear the rings but I don’t think it’s the end of the world if they don’t.

I keep meaning to wear mine again but cake is nice...

I don’t wear mine. I don’t like wearing any jewelry.

My husband doesn't even have a wedding ring let alone wear one, neither did my dad or my father in law all three just don't like rings/jewellery, all three utterly dedicated to and in love with their wives.

It's a complete non issue.

Neither of my brothers wear wedding rings, partly due to their jobs but mainly they are not jewellery people, they won’t even wear watches. My dad was the same. It’s never bothered my SILs
