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!

DH has a wedding ring but doesn't wear it. He's a musician and it rattles on his instrument. 😂

I was really surprised and pleased when my fiancé said he wanted a wedding ring. Bastard cheated anyway.

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.

I’ve never worn one had a bad experience and had to have a ring cut of
wearing a ring panics me can’t stop fiddling with it which in turn makes finger swell then I have to take it off

also strongly advised not to wear ring at work due to the potential of getting it caught and ether de gloving or ripping finger off ( which has happened)

My husband wore his ring for about a month but didn’t like the feeling of it, we had it re-sized a little bit but it was still annoying him. Roll forward nearly 30 years and our daughter had it melted down to make her own wedding ring.

DH has never worn his in 20 years. A few years ago we had it turned into a different fancy ring for me 😂

Love this!!

When I was a child 50 years ago, I remember that men typically didn't wear them that much. My partner doesn't wear hers because she's allergic to it and we haven't quite got round to an upgrade for both of us.

This is ok. My dad never wore a ring as he doesn’t like jewellery. Best father ever. And parents still married

feelinglight · 28/07/2024 22:46

My DH and I don't wear our rings often just on special occasions. He's a builder and just isn't used to jewellery and I get swollen fingers so hate rings.

cunningartificer · 28/07/2024 22:55

When we got married my husband said he thought we should have only one ring; big LOTR fan! It made me laugh but I didn't think he was planning to cheat (also less common in those days for men to wear wedding rings as standard). He didn't mind who wore it, so I do.

angieboo1 · 28/07/2024 22:56

We’ve been married 20 years, and neither of us have worn one for well over 10 years. No less married.

MilkyWayAtoms · 28/07/2024 22:57

Neither of us wear or even have rings. Doesn't affect the legal document in any way.

JellicleCat · 28/07/2024 22:58

Dh has never had a wedding ring - won't wear any jewellery, even a watch, as he doesn't like the feel.
I haven't worn my wedding ring for about five years as its too tight.
We've been married for 30 years.

mitogoshi · 28/07/2024 22:59

My soon to be dh doesn't want to wear one, he finds rings uncomfortable and doesn't wear any jewellery except a watch. He is getting one for special occasion wear. Men having them is fairly new and still optional in the marriage ceremony

Raveonette · 28/07/2024 23:02

Happily married 14 years. Rarely wear my rings as I don't like the feel of them. No biggie.

Nicebloomers · 28/07/2024 23:04

I told my husband I wouldn’t marry him if he wouldn’t wear one after he protested. I’m not usually an ultimatums kind of person but it was really important to me. He didn’t have or wear one for his first marriage. He acquiesced on the proviso it wasn’t an expensive ring and that if he really hated the feel of wearing it then he wouldn’t wear it full time. He has a plain titanium band and now can’t imagine taking it off.

maras2 · 28/07/2024 23:07

We've been married for 49 years.
Neither of us have ever worn a ring.

LaughingCat · 28/07/2024 23:11

Neither my DH nor I have rings…awkward things. Never crossed our minds to have them. So no, I wouldn’t mind at all!

Polarnight · 28/07/2024 23:12

Yes absolutely

Ahhhhhbisto · 28/07/2024 23:15

My DH had his tattooed on (manual labour job) and I was really suprised that he was that bothered tbh. Totally his choice and I would have married him anyway!

SallyWD · 28/07/2024 23:15

My dad has never worn a wedding ring. He just dislikes jewellery. He wouldn't care if my mum didn't either. He is the last person in the world to be a player. My DH wears a ring but I genuinely wouldn't mind if he didn't.

Noseybookworm · 28/07/2024 23:15

Yes. I don't wear my engagement or wedding rings and I've been married 34 years. I just find jewellery uncomfortable and never wear any. I don't really see what difference it makes?

Parker231 · 29/07/2024 07:32

I didn’t want an engagement ring and neither DH or I have wedding rings - neither of us liked them. Still been married 30 years. Rings don’t signify level of commitment.

Ohfuckwhatdoidonow · 29/07/2024 07:36

It didn't bother me that.my ex didn't wear one, but that was because he didn't like the feel and there was a risk of catching it at work. I was certain he wasn't trying to make it appear he wasn't marrief
