Does your H wear a wedding band/ ring? If he does, tell why you feel it's important that he does. If he doesn't, tell whether you care or not and why.

Jule'sMomInOR · #2 August 8th, 2011, 08:39 AM

He does. I would prefer that he does but if he had a good reason for not wearing it I'd be ok. My dad doesn't wear his because he's always working in his workshop and he claims it's easy to get it caught on something and potentially lose a finger.

DH also does, but it wouldn't bother me one way or the other. After we lost a bunch of weight he had to take his off for fear of losing it. That would crush me more than anything I think. It was an expensive ring. lol. He said he felt lost without it on. My dad never wore his, and my grandfather never wore his til he retired from the police force. For me it's just a symbol of something far more important. The ring itself isn't the thing that matters.

Sean NEVER takes his ring off, like never. I usually take my rings off when I'm at home and he always teases that I never have my on.

I've never put much thought into it or it's never been an issue --- It's always just kind of been in my head that "married people wear rings" and that's that.

I can understand when a husband has some type of job that requires a lot of manual labor or that his ring could get caught in something/damaged, I could understand not wearing the ring.

We jokingly "compete" to see who can get the best ring tan line on our finger, so I guess if we didn't wear our rings we'd have awesome tan lines?

Yes, he always wears it. He actually lost a lot of weight and took it off for a few days until we had it sized but it's been back on since and he said he felt empty with out it. I'd rather him wear it, but he likes wearing it too so no big deal. I feel empty if I take my rings off too, so I always wear mine too.

sfarrow3 · #6 August 8th, 2011, 09:03 AM

Yep, Hubby wears his. I like for him to wear his, but if he decided not to he better be explaining why (

or this may be the result!..haha j/k ). We also joke around if one of us is not wearing it (due to doing manual work, or something that required us to take our rings off). I would feel wierd if I didn't wear mines, just because it has become one with me!! haha

Daffodil · #7 August 8th, 2011, 09:17 AM

Mine only occasionally wears his. Most of the time he doesn't...he will wear it for special occasions (like if we are going out to dinner or a party) or on business trips. I can't remember his reasoning for business trips but he had one lol.

I don't mind...since I only wear my rings when I go out. I never wear them at home, and I don't wear it to work, because I don't want someone to steal it. I have occasionally and get tons of compliments, so that makes me feel good. Its not the biggest diamond (especially for LA) but its a gorgeous ring.

I know this is kinda off topic, but my husband is a manager for a convenient store and I was shocked at how many women hit on my husband or ask him out and he wears his ring most of the time. I mean really? When Im talking to women or men that is one of the things I notice. Am I crazy for being like that! lol

LOL Actually think people are MORE attracted to people who are married, its kinda the "all the good ones are taken or gay" attitude. Not that they should be asking out a married person!

Hmm, maybe that's why hubby where's his ring when he is on business trips

nevergivingup · #10 August 8th, 2011, 09:37 AM

Mine never wears his, but I don't wear mine either. His actually got ruined by him wearing it in his line of work (he's a mechanic) and we haven't been able to replace it. It doesn't bother me I know that it's not really safe to wear it in the shop so I'm okay with it. I don't wear mine because it doesn't fit anymore. I was 17 super thin, got sized wore it but I was pregnant at the time and gained ALOT of weight so now it doesn't fit. We plan on getting new rings and renewing our vows in 3 yrs for our 15 yr anniversary

I always look at rings to see if people are married. You also wouldnt believe how many times I've stopped by the station, and they happen to be giving a pub ed or tour to kids/teachers and I've seen teaches flirting with all the fire man. I think I'd probably be upset if dh didnt wear his. I think it just shows "Hey, Im taken, respect that".

sfarrow3 · #12 August 8th, 2011, 09:49 AM

^^^Girl alot of women love them some FIREFIGHTERS!!! LMAO!

Arei_720 · #13 August 8th, 2011, 09:56 AM

Yes, he does. I think he likes wearing it, and I like him to wear it because it's kind of like I marked my territory

Vincent'sMommy · #14 August 8th, 2011, 09:57 AM

My DH doesn't wear his. Actually, I think I'm wearing his but I'm not sure. They are identical (and plain). His was a little too big but he never liked wearing it anyway so we didn't bother to get it resized. Then when I lot a bunch of weight I wore his because mine was too big. I eventually got mind sized down, though. But I gained some more weight while pregnant so I think maybe I started wearing his again. It's sad that I'm not sure.

Anyway, it doesn't really bother me that he doesn't wear his. It's not like he can really go anywhere without me anyway and even if he did I'm not sure I would care much.

Daffodil · #15 August 8th, 2011, 10:00 AM

Maybe its me, but I don't care if people flirt with hubby, and I only care if they flirt with me if I don't think they are cute, haha. And like Shantel said, wearing a wedding ring doesn't stop that.

Is that strange?

#16 August 8th, 2011, 10:03 AM

DH and I both always wear ours. I don't think either of us have really though about not wearing them. I know that towards the end of my pregnancies I have had to take it off but I have a fake (cubic Zirconia) engagement ring and wedding ring that is a bigger size just for wearing at the end of my pregnancies. If DH stopped wearing his I'd want to now why just because he hasn't taken it off, other then to clean it, in 5years.

O/T my engagement ring is getting too big and I don't know what I'm going to do. I can't have it resized because I have channel set diamonds.

YEah no I don't think its strange to think that way one bit. I'm so use to people hitting on my husband at his job, that its just like whatever. I also know that DH would be CRAZY to leave a fine sista as myself (HAHAHA j/K). Its just a shock that women love married men!

sboricua · #18 August 8th, 2011, 11:17 AM

We both wear our rings. when he went to Iraq he took it with him and kept it on. He only takes it off when he puts gel in his hair. I take mine off when im washing dishes or putting lotion on. and yes I would be mad if he didnt wear his. he has no reason not to wear it. When we take them to get repolished he says his finger feels naked without it.
