Husband doesnt wear his wedding ring

Hi, I got married a year ago. My husband always takes his wedding ring off for football, taking a shower, washing the pots. However, he often doesn't put it back on. He can go for days without wearing it until I say something. Last week I said you're not wearing your ring and he put it on. Later that night it was off again and he said its coz he washed the pots.
I am very hurt by it and took my rings and his and put them away in a box. I told him I won't be wearing them and if people ask why I'm not wearing them, I will just tell them the truth. He doesn't care and hasn't asked me about them since. I raised it again the other day and he just looked at me. Again, he hasn't asked about them or offered to wear them. I am really fed up at the moment and to be honest have considered leaving. I've told him so many times it's an important thing to me but he doesn't seem to care.

Rarely wear mine neither does my dh

luckily neither of need a ring to remember we are married 😂

but I did have a concerned colleague ask if everything was ok at home as they noticed I wasn’t wearing my ring 😂

That’s funny of your colleague 😂😂 like an OK! magazine style “spotted without ring, is there trouble in paradise”

My father has never had a wedding ring. My partner and I didn't exchange rings at are civil partnership although I do some times move rings around so one is on that finger trying to figure out if it feels right.

My sister had a bad accident on her bike as a child and needed surgery. In a and e she obsessed about a graze on her hand and wouldn't let the look at the major wound until they bandaged her hand. It seems to me that the rings are a distraction from the real issues within the relationship. It doesn't sound like you are communicating that well at the moment and you aren't happy.

My husband wears his but I don't wear mine.

It makes utterly no difference.
