Does your DH wear a wedding ring?

[SkiBunnyFlummy]

If you have a DH of course.

Do you mind if he does or not.

We are getting married this summer and my DF (? hee hee ) doesn't fancy wearing one as he already wears a signet ring (currently lost actually) and his dad doesn't wear one.

I'm not sure if I care or not. In some respects I think it might make him think twice before he stepped outside our marriage vows. Or it might put single chicks off - but then some singlies target married men don't they.

I'm not paranoid but he is a good looking bloke. well primarily he is a bloke so there is bound to be some temptation during a marriage.

Mine does. If I have to wear a symbol that basically represents ownership by someone else I don't see why he shouldn't as well!

Yes!

dh has a ring which he wore on our wedding day but not since as he doesn't like to wear jewellery. I wear mine all the time. Mine is kind of squashed and scratched and odd looking because I always forget to take it off before I work out and it gets wrecked on the chin up bar. Dh's ring is just as it left the shop. I should get it resized and pinch it.

My DH wears his but I don't wear any of my rings. I work with children and am constantly washing my hands or doing activities that make the ring rub my palm and therefore get very dry chapped hands if I wear my rings. I also don't wear any other jewelry except a thin chain around my neck.

DH and I have exactly matching rings, plain gold bands. I love it on him - think it looks fantastic. He wears his literally all the time - I take mine off in the shower and at night (have pretty dry skin and like to be able to take it off when I put hand cream on).

DH wears his at weekends, college and on holiday. Ohh and if we go out in the evening. He doesn't wear it to work and he saw a colleague loose their finger when it got caught

My dh wears a wedding ring. I'm glad he does - it looks lovely on him. It was a very special moment at the wedding ceremony exchanging rings. I remember I couldn't get his ring on properly as his finger had swelled up. It gave me the giggles and it still makes me smile when I watch the wedding video back.

dh wears his all the time, i think it looks sexy on a man...funny how many of us think this isnt it!!

DH wears a wedding ring all the time too. I like it, as does he. It is the only jewelery he wears.

DH and I have been married 3 years today and his ring has never left his finger once, I on the other hand sometimes get dry skin under my ring so I leave it off for a few days

I'm really surprised that anyone feels they 'have' to wear a 'symbol of ownership'! I certainly didn't feel I 'had' to wear a wedding ring (or an engagement ring) and if I thought of either of them as 'symbols of ownership' or that I 'had' to wear them, I wouldn't.
I wear rings because I am a laydee and like laydees things.

DH originally didn't want one as he said he didn't do jewelry. I said it wasn't jewelry, and he had to have one, but he didn't have to wear one. He said it was stupid to have one and not wear it, but he hated gold. Ah, I said, then why don't we have something else? So we have titanium wedding bands. If he didn't hate gold I would never have known how much comfier titanium is.

He know keeps it on also for the symbolism -- he did have somebody he was talking to who suddenly noticed the ring and veered off, and he decided he didn't want to hang out with people who were only interested in chatting if he was single.

I love seeing that my DH wears a band to show his love of me...

Anyone else find the "wedding ring twist in the face" a fantastic maneovre to get rid of unwanted attention...

my DH usually wears his. since DS I usually don't (would be bound to lose it taking it on and off for the usual glam babycare duties). and it's definitely not through any intention of straying/attracting blokes!

they are usually found in my bathroom - Mummyto Steven... wha ha - I am one of you now...

He did have one but wore it briefly because it was dangerous to wear to work operating machinery. Doesn't bother me in the least. I don't wear mine anymore because I've gone off gold and wear a silver band instead (not rich enough for platinum!). I don't think it matters whether you wear a ring or not, personal choice. To some it's everything, to me it means little. We are still married - that means much more!

I'm not married but honestly can't imagine DP wearing jewellery of any kind so if we ever did get it together to saunter down the aisle, reckon he wouldn't....

...but he does look married. Oh yes, I know just what Cod means

Yes he does. He never wore any jewellery before we were married as he never really liked the idea of it - I didn't pester him though - it was his own choice to get one.
I don't really think I'd mind either way - I think its nicer as part of the wedding ceremony to exchange rings though - somehow seems more 'equal'
