Reasons to not wear a wedding ring even though

you are married:

What are some reason you ladies, or some men, have about not wearing their wedding rings?

I found out that one of the men I work with has been married for close to, if not more than 30 years. He has kids and talks freely about them. I have not heard him mention anything about his wife. I doubt he's a cheater because he is big into church.

Any ideas?
 
If they work in a profession where they operate heavy machinery, maybe?
I know some couples don't wear rings but, personally, that's a big deal. You need to wear your ring.
 
My Dad doesn't wear a ring simply because he hates jewellry. Doesn't wear a watch, chain, nothing and never has.
 
I didn't realize until this year that my grandfather never wore his ring.... been married 50+ years but y'all don't wanna hear that reason :look:

A lot of men hate jewelry. My FIL wears no jewelry whatsoever and they celebrated 40 years this past weekend. DH says he never has. He doesn't even have a watch.
 
I've been terrible with jewelry my whole life, I lost my original wedding ring. I recently bought a pair of stud earrings and wore them nonstop for a few months, took them out and lost them.

The only time I have consistently worn it was during pregnancy

LOL! Yeah, I figured that'd be the case for some.
I feel like for some women the wedding ring is seen as a challenge!! Women can be just as ruthless too... I bet a lot of them knew that grandaddy was married. :nono:
 
don't like to feel anything on my skin. Very conscious of whatever it is ...chain, bracelet. Only jewelry i wear consistently is earrings.
 
I dont wear mine unless DH and I r going out or will be around ppl we dont know well. My eczema is horrible and the ring makes it worse. I am like LeftRightRepeat - only earrings, nothing on hands ankles neck wrists etc. it starts to rash my skin aftr a while.

I do hav DHs name tattooed across my ring finger, in case anybody is really lookg.
 
A few months ago I developed an allergy to my ring. Never had that problem before. So now I wear it only occasionally - I used to wear it all the time. Folks who cheat, will do so with ring on or off. :-( But I do hope the ring being on serves as a reminder of their vow.

Yeah I think that's sessy!:yep:

I'd love to meet a guy I'm completely and utterly in love with to the point where I know it wouldn't be a huge mistake to get his name tatted on my ring finger!

I bet you did. :lol:
 
My band is too big.

I don't where my rings to job interviews.

Sometimes I simply forget to put them on after taking them off at night.t
 
A lot of people in the military don't wear rings. A lot of them have rings tattooed on their fingers though.
 
I forget to put it on in the morning a lot of the time. I'm requesting a flat band for Christmas to alleviate this problem.

My parents never wore their bands. My mother gained weight and never got it adjusted, pops was… well… I won't speak ill of the deceased. :-/
 
My exhusband was not big on jewelry. I wanted to get him this fantastic wedding band $$$$. He was like nah, he picked out this simple/plain gold band to wear all of $50, I think. Yuck, but he wore it as long as we were married even though he hated jewerly.
 
A lot of men who work with machinery won't wear them because they can lose their finger if it gets caught on something.

I stopped wearing mine because of weight gain. I started wearing it again after I lost weight. I took it off again this July because I was afraid of losing it at camp and I forgot to put it back on. I really need to put it in again because I'm pregnant and starting to show :look:

My husband ALWAYS wears his, so sometimes I feel some kind if way when we're in public and I've forgotten to wear mine.
 
I wore mine for many many years errday. Then I got preggo and started LOSING weight. ANd kept on losing weight and the ring would just fall off. Never got it resized. It was a sign. The marriage ended :look:
 
My husband hasn't been wearing his because he lost weight and it keeps sliding off. He wears it when we go out together though. It also randomly started giving him some kind of rash, but it wasn't immediate, so I'm not sure if it's an allergy. It's two tone, yellow and white gold, so maybe he's allergic to the white gold? In either case, I think a ring guard should fix both problems. He has another ring (yellow gold) that I bought him when we first started dating, and he's been wearing it consistently for the last six years with no problems.
 
I stopped wearing my diamond and now I only wear my wedding band. As time went on my taste changed and I just didn't want to wear a rock anymore. I like the simplicity of my band and it is more functional for me.

I know some correctional officers that don't wear it because the less the inmates know about them the better.
 
I used to wear my ring everyday. Now, most times I won't wear my ring unless I'm dressed up. My husband is the same, but sometimes we forget. We remind each other before going out if we remember. If we are in the car already and one of us notices that the other forgot, we'll jokingly say, "I see you're not married today". I really don't think about it like I used to when it was new. I still love it but repeatedly taking it off to wash my hands and to apply lotion several times a day makes wearing it all of the time seem like a chore. Also in the winter, my hands get smaller so I always have to be careful that it doesn't fly off.



ETA: My dad wears his all of the time. I know that step mom wouldn't even go for him not wearing it, lol.

I don't recall my grandfather ever wearing one. Not to cheat though, lol. My grandmother wore hers all of the time. It was just a simple gold band.

I never knew my parents wearing their rings. They have it in a jewelry box in their bedroom.

I don't know why. I asked why once when I was younger and my father shrugged and my mother said that she doesn't have a point to prove.

My mother wears jewelry and ironically wears my grandfather's wedding band on her right hand (my paternal grandfather gave it to her after his wife died). My father wears no jewelry except a chain on random special occasions.

eta: I will wear my ring and would prefer that my future husband wear his.

eta: Ironically my mother and I were speaking about my grandfather's wedding ring this morning and she said that she believes that a guard was put on it (blessed by a priest) that's why he gave it to her.
