Does your DH take his wedding ring off to go to bed? Do most people?

[HRHWickedwaterwitch]

Dp, who will become my dh on Friday [excited emoticon!], wants to know. He doesn't wear any jewellery atm and thinks it'll feel strange wearing his wedding ring to bed and that he might want to take it off to sleep. I think it shouldn't be taken off except to clean and that he'll forget to put it back on again, end up not wearing it blah blah.

He does want to wear one but he also wants to know what mumsnetters think. So, tell me, what do you think and what does your dh do? TIA!

Mine doesn't. I'd kill him

Both me an dh never take them off.

Have a lovely day

DHs ring doesn't come off unless he is painting, likewise for me.

Neither me or Dh take our rings off to go to bed.

DH only wears his wedding ring - no other jewellery - and he wears it permanently. he did think it felt strange to start with though.

I never take mine off except when I scrape the grime from inder it

DH takes it off to sleep, wash the dishes, do the garden, change the babies etc etc he often forgets to wear it to work but says he feels lost without it on... it doesn't really bother me unless he goes out out without it on... cos I think women'll hit on him! (They strangely never do though lol)

oh poo at my typing

I take all my rings off to sleep. DH keeps his wedding ring on all the time.

One (rather gruesome) thought, a bloke at work had an accident and ripped his finger off due to wearing his wedding ring (they managed to sew it back on). So in some jobs, you aren't allowed to wear rings for this reason.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. How exciting. My dh didnt wear any jewellery but before getting married, but does wear his wedding ring and no he doesnt take it off at night, the same as i dont take mine off. Good luck for Friday!

My dh took his off almost immediately after the ceremony (sp?) and never put it back on again. I haven't worn mine for about 14 years, but I used to wear it all the time including in the shower for fear of losing it (I'm quite forgetful and careless). I used to get dermatitis under the ring though, probably from soap, which was quite uncomfortable.

dh doesn't but I used to for years - -until my fingers got fatter and it's a bit of a struggle now, so I don't.

ps dh doesn't take his watch off either, but I do

Nope - neither dh or I ever take ours off (actually, thinking about I have a couple of times when I've been for a massage and they require all jewelry to be off.)

Firstly, congratulations on your forthcoming marriage!

Secondly, my dh has never taking his wedding ring off. I have take mine off before bed as otherwise my fingers swell up in the night and I'm afraid of having to go to A&E in the small hours to have my engagement and wedding rings cut off. They used to be a bit too loose but now my fingers alter a lot and they go from being too loose, to being a perfect fit, to being too tight - all within a few days! Hth.

DH keeps his on... he does take it off to wash his hands/face though (proper face washing, not just washing after a wee iyswim) - he has HUGE knuckles, and had to get a ring that would go over them, but then it spins on his finger, and he is scared of it falling off.

He says it has taken a while to get used to it (married in May), and yes, he has forgotten to put it back on a few times, but things are improving - before he wouldn't notice he wasn't wearing it, and now he realises that something is missing.

I haven't found it on the bathroom shelf for a while, so I guess he's got it sussed now

So from my DH to yours... it takes a while to get used to, but you do eventually.

Nope. DH never takes his off. I did this week b/c at 37 weeks along my hands are too swollen to wear mine - but I wear it on a chain round my neck.

My DH wears no other jewellery and never takes his wedding ring off. He is actually rather sentimental about it which I find really sweet.

Mine never come off. DH doesn?t have a ring as he dislikes male jewellery. As my dad never wore any jewellery, am used to this and doesn?t bother me.Surprising how many people find it odd and suspicious that he does though! I think it would bother me if he had one but took it off a lot, rather illogical I know

DH doesn't wear a wedding ring. I take mine off sometimes (or forget to put it back on, more to the point!) but always wear it during the day/to go out, etc.

My hands swell easily, so mine are quite often on a chain round my neck. Thinking of which... DH wants me to get him a strong manly chain so that he can keep his safe if he does take it off.

Got teased somewhat by the drag queen on my hen night - he/she grabbed my hand when I said it was me getting married, and then gave me a pile of abuse for not wearing my engagement ring

My dh never wears his to bed (neither do I- even after 5 1/2 years it's still 'there' at night lol) Mind you, he doesn't wear it every day, can't wear it when he's working away but he always does when he goes 'out' out. Doesn't bother me really, there are more important things to be worrying about than whether my dh is wearing his ring (and also I on't think anybody else would be tempted, ring or no ring!) (only joking, dh)

same thoughts as me Fireworks my dad never wore a ring cos he hates mens jewellrey and my dp has a manual job where he couldnt wear a ring, doesnt bother me at all but probs only cos thats how ive lways known it with my dad, id always wear mine thou just like my mam has!!

My Dh never wore any jewellery before we were married in May, he said that it felt a bit odd to begin with but now it's just part of him, it's the same for me as well as I never wore any before I got my engagement ring. However DH does take his off every night and pops it with his wallet and his watch on the dresser in our room, he never forgets to put it back on.

Good luck for Friday hope it goes really well

My dh never wore jewellery before we were married and was convinced he'd be driven mad by a ring but after a week or so of fiddling with the ring he's worn it every day without fail. He doesn't wear it at night (but nor do I wear any jewellery in bed - it would drive me mad) but he is very good about finding it the next morning (even if I've moved it) I think once you get used to having a ring (whether you're a man or a woman) you feel like something's missing (like when you forget your watch) so he'd unlikely not to wear it just because he doesn't wear it in bed.
