He won’t wear a wedding ring? Says he loves you but finds the feeling of a ring on his finger uncomfortable.

Really interested to get people's opinion on this!

Yes, I wouldn't wear a wedding ring either.
I've tried to wear rings and the feeling on my fingers is just really weird.

TomatoSandwiches · 28/07/2024 16:32

I rarely wear my wedding or engagement rings, it wouldn't bother me.

Servalan · 28/07/2024 16:32

When I was married I couldn't wear my wedding ring as it gave me eczema.

rubyslippers · 28/07/2024 16:34

Seriously?!
why would this bother you if he didn’t?
married twenty years - DH not worn his ring in forever
I don’t wear my engagement ring but a wedding ring as I’m not keen on the feel of two rings together
it’s really common

thursdaymurderclub · 28/07/2024 16:34

yes... i dont even wear mine now anyways.. i dont need a piece of metal to prove anything to me.

my SIL doesnt wear one either.. they have far more important things to spend their money on than tokens... a ring doesnt do anything... actions does things

Dh had never worn any jewellery and bought a wedding ring when I bought mine. He wanted a ring to put on as part of the ceremony and did wear it afterwards.

He said although it felt strange it was also a constant reminder of a lovely day and being happily married. He takes it off at night but puts it back on religiously after his shower. It has been 25 years.

A wedding ring in itself does not mean a man will not cheat.

MonsteraMama · 28/07/2024 16:34

Yeah, I don't tend to wear my rings either, I find rings very uncomfortable and annoying. Doesn't bother my husband, and it wouldn't bother me if he didn't want to wear his.

UltramarineViolet · 28/07/2024 16:35

Yes I would assuming there's no associated back story

MissScarletInTheBallroom · 28/07/2024 16:35

This wouldn't bother me. I don't much like wearing rings either, always take them off to go to sleep, frequently don't wear them for days if I'm not going anywhere.

MotherOfVizslas · 28/07/2024 16:35

My husband doesn't wear one...doesn't make him any less married!

FruitLoop83 · 28/07/2024 16:36

IMO not wearing a wedding rain could be a sign that your partner wants to cheat.

Im surprised by all of the above responses. I think it’s weird not to wear your wedding ring.

If someone wants to cheat, a ring is not going to stop him.

Some men say they get more interest from other women when they are wearing a wedding ring!

FuzzyStripes · 28/07/2024 16:37

Yes, I almost never wear my engagement and wedding rings. If anything, I wear one of my eternity rings but usually nothing at all. It doesn’t make me any less married or have any correlation to how much I love my husband.

A wedding ring can be taken off!

Liv999 · 28/07/2024 16:38

Yes, my DH never wears his as he's a carpenter and would destroy it at work

Precipice · 28/07/2024 16:39

They do say so, but to be honest, I wonder if it's men taking women feeling more comfortable and acting more open with them (because they see the sign of the man being married as a sign that the man is less likely to act inappropriately towards them or try to pick them up) as a sign of 'interest'.

Not only have I never worn a wedding ring, I've never owned a wedding ring, and neither has DH. We are nonetheless happily married,

It's hilarious to me that you think jewellery is some kind of chastity belt.

Indianajet · 28/07/2024 16:40

My husband didn't wear a ring - we were married 49 years until his death. I actually lost my original ring but wear my mum's now.

Killerqueenie · 28/07/2024 16:40

My husband doesn't wear his ring but mainly because it's dangerous for his job and could cause him to lose a finger. He does wear it if we go out though.

BobbyBiscuits · 28/07/2024 16:43

My dad didn't wear one. He would never have worn jewellery as he had really severe eczema so it would irritate his skin. Also in those days it wasn't as common for men to always wear one.
It wouldn't bother me tbh.
If he wears other rings or jewellery I'd probably find it a bit weird. But if not then I'd say it's fine.

When you get married, you are meant to be the ring! Like a couple entwined eternally. That's what it represents, so if you love eachother and want to be together forever then who needs an actual piece of jewellery?!

ConsuelaHammock · 28/07/2024 16:46

My husband doesn’t wear his wedding ring. He’s a farmer so likely to loose his finger wearing it daily. He will wear it occasionally but more often than not it sits in its box in a drawer.

greengreyblue · 28/07/2024 16:49

To ask this, you must have some doubts about him. It’s not the ring, it’s your trust in him.

nameynamenamename · 28/07/2024 16:53

I have no opinion either way and no backstory 🤷🏻‍♀️ was genuinely interested to see people’s opinions!

Lighteningstrikes · 28/07/2024 16:54

Not ideal, but it wouldn't stop me marrying someone.

Lot's of men don't wear them because of the work they do to avoid injury/losing their finger etc.

greengreyblue · 28/07/2024 16:54

But nobody else’s opinion mattters but yours.
