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!

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.

Oh please. Don't be so naive

You realise rings aren’t welded on? If someone is going to cheat they can easily slip it off!

StoatofDisarray · 28/07/2024 17:37

Yes. Neither of us wear wedding/engagement rings because we don't like stuff on our fingers.

Thatsfrenchforstopahorse · 28/07/2024 17:39

Absolutely. My DH wore his ring for the photos and I hated it. It didn’t look like his hands. That’s the one and only time it was ever worn thank goodness.

RosesAndHellebores · 28/07/2024 17:40

DH didn't have one and it has never been an issue.

DS who got married two years ago has one and a quarter of the way through the 21st Century, I think it would have been odd if he didn't have one.

Yes. I bought my hubs a ring but he never wears it. He works hard and not in a situation where silicone is ok. On weekends he's working with wood and stuff at home. Never wears it. I'm equally guilty of not wearing mine

Growlybear83 · 28/07/2024 17:46

Yes. My husband has never worn a wedding ring. He had never worn any kind of jewellery apart from a watch.

DeltaAlphaDelta79 · 28/07/2024 17:49

I dont wear jewellery of any kind and I have short, sausage fingers that are made even more odd looking by a ring. I never bought one, and never intend to wear one. I doesn't mean I want to cheat!

SnapdragonToadflax · 28/07/2024 17:50

Yes of course? My dad doesn't wear a wedding ring, they've been married 45 years.

MillshakePickle · 28/07/2024 17:54

I never wear either of my rings. No clue where they are even.

My friends dh wore his ring religiously. Except when he was at a hotel shagging the ow.
HTH

as long as it works both ways (I wear mine sometimes when I remember\find it). For what it is worth Prince William doesn't, neither did prince Philip. K Charles has a signet ring.

Thudercatsrule · 28/07/2024 18:02

Been married 25yrs and DH has never worn his ring - doesnt bother me at all.

TubeScreamer · 28/07/2024 18:11

I don’t wear mine (aggravates eczema) and dh didn’t have one,

polkadotpixie · 28/07/2024 18:11

Neither me nor DH wear our wedding rings. He doesn't want to lose a finger at work and I have sensory issues and they mither me, it doesn't make a difference to us

Ponderingwindow · 28/07/2024 18:14

Neither DH nor i’s rings fit after we had been married for a bit. I had to take mine off when I got pregnant. His was around the same time, but I honestly don’t remember the exact timing. We keep meaning to go get them sized. The child is 15 yo and they are still in a drawer.

i swear one of these days we will get around to doing it.

Watchkeys · 28/07/2024 18:18

I think that if 'whether they'll wear a ring or not' is enough to question their commitment, I wouldn't be marrying them anyway.

lemonyellows · 28/07/2024 18:20

Would it bother him if you didn't wear one?

mirrorlife · 28/07/2024 18:22

My husband doesn’t wear a ring and didn’t have one for the ceremony. We’ve been happily married over 20 years. It’s neither here nor there, I’m struggling to see what the issue can possibly be.

PerfectTravelTote · 28/07/2024 18:23

It wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

CurlewKate · 28/07/2024 18:27

If I was married I would expect him to wear one if I did, I think. But a guilty crush of mine is an actor who recently died aged 80 after 6 marriages- and he always, but always wore a wedding ring. So there's that.

Bananalanacake · 28/07/2024 18:28

We got married in Germany and went for the non ring ceremony, not compulsory to have one so we didn't bother, more money to spend on home improvements. Though I don't know if this is possible in the UK.

RabbitsRock · 28/07/2024 18:28

DH wears his but I don’t really take notice. I can’t wear my wedding, engagement & eternity rings as they’re too small but I’ve lost 2.5 stone & intend to lose more so they should soon fit again.

ClaraLaraBow · 28/07/2024 18:48

On its own, not enough to be a red flag, but if he also presents himself as single on social media then, no, don't marry him

ShoehornSheryl · 28/07/2024 18:48

My DH wears his wedding ring only if he goes into the office for work (rarely. As in once a month max) and if he goes out on a night out. Otherwise he doesn’t, because he finds it really uncomfortable. His dad has never worn a wedding ring.

it doesn’t really bother me.
