Does your DH wear his wedding ring?

If not, does it bother you? If you aren't married, would it bother you if he didn't?

Re: Does your DH wear his wedding ring?

  • Yes he does and yes it would bother me if he didn't.

  • Yes, H wears his all the time.

    We look really young, people around here are judgypants, and I do not enjoy looking like a teen mom. That's part of the reason.

  • I'd say he wears it 50/50. It doesn't bother me that he forgets to put it on, but it does bother me that he leaves it random places. I keep fishing it out of the dog's mouth. I don't worry for a second that he's either cheating or trying to hide the fact that he's married.

  • Yes, DH wears his ring. I keep telling him to get it sized because he lost it like 2 months after we got married. We thought it was gone for good, but I found it at the begin if of the summer in one if our folding canvas chairs. It wouldn't bother ne if he didn't wear it to work (he works on telephones and gets into tight spaces with his hands), but if he was going out and purposely left it at home, I would be upset. I don't need him to wear a ring to know that he's my husband. I wear my rings all the time, but only because I love to wear them.

    I never wear mine, I find it super uncomfortable.

    I don't need my husband to wear a ring just to know that we are married but I expect it to be worn so everyone else knows he is. Just a little reciprocity. I'd be getting more than a side eye from him if I didn't wear my rings just because.

  • DH wears his constantly, however last week he took it off to play golf and lost it. It may be somewhere in the house but maybe he put it in his pocket. He is always losing things.

    Anyway, he is not wearing a ring now and it sort of bothers me. Maybe we will have to buy a cheap replacement while we are looking for the real one.

  • No.  It used to bother me but that's a battle I choose not to fight.  Our rings don't make the marriage.  If he wants to cheat on me he will.....ring or no ring.  He knows there are stiff consequences for any misdeeds.

  • Yes he always wears it.  He is the one who gets on my case if I accidentally forget it once in a while.  

    My dad has never worn his ring and over the years he has been hit on many times.  Of course he always tells my mom and laughs it off, but IMO I think he should just wear it.

  • We both wear our pretty much constantly.

  • He gave me a hard time about it when we first got married, and tried to tell me he couldn't wear it at work because it might snag on something and put his life in jeopardy. (He's a cop).

    Needless I pitched a fit and its like a second skin to him now. 

    Mine is another story. Since baby they are tighter then they had been pre-baby and sometimes I take them off.

  • Sometimes he forgets to wear it but it doesn't bother me.

  • Yep he wears it all the time.  I actually didn't expect him to because he does a lot of manual labor, and I know that sometimes rings + his work = no finger.  Plus he didn't think he'd get used to it.  But 2 days after we got married he said he was used to it and hasn't taken it off since.

  • DH wears his about 10% of the time.  We live in a small town and everyone knows we're married.  We have a lawncare company so he's on a mower or weedeating all day long and gets really dirty.  It doesn't bother me in the slightest bit that he doesn't wear it.  He did also lose it about 8 months ago and he went probably 4 or 5 months without a replacement.  I bought him a replacement for our anniversary.  I think it's cute when he does wear it b/c it means he made a point to go and put it on.

    This exactly. I am 22 and DH is 23. I feel like people judge me enough since we are so young, i don't want them to think i am unmarried.  I actually had an old lady approach me once and say something along the lines of "a baby with a baby"

    This.  Though I forget to wear mine at least once a week.  I take it off to sleep and sometimes just forget in the craziness of the morning.

  • DH never wears his. It does not bother me. I used to not wear mine because I was riding my horses all the time and it would get caught in their mane. I wear it more now to avoid the side eye of having a baby and no ring.

  • DH is an electrician and does not wear his ring 90% of the time and it does not bother me at all. He only ever really wears it if I ask (usually when we are going out for a special occassion). I wear my rings about 80% of the time. When it's hot and my fingers swell, I take them off...other than that, they are usually on...DH could care less if I wear them or not.

  • We both do not wear our rings in our house, but we never leave home without them. It would totally bother me if he did not. If someone goes to leave without it we always ask, "are you married to me" it is our reminder.

  • Yeah he does, all the time. He's really sentimental about it too:).

    This is exactly what DH told me (he's a cop too). Funny how they have the same excuse Smile I agreed that he didn't have to wear it & it doesn't bother me in the least. Like he told me, if he was going to cheat on me, he would do so, ring or no ring. Every once in a blue moon he'll surprise me & wear it for a special occasion. But I don't feel like it takes away from our marriage that he doesn't wear it. Plus I figure some ladies like to hit on married men specifically, so someone could flirt with him because he had a ring on.

  • He wears it probably 70% of the time.  He takes it off when he has to do practically anything (mow the lawn, help clean, change a diaper, work on the car) and leaves it in random places.  I'm surprised I haven't found the dog trying to eat it, once I found it behind a vase on the floor in front of our fireplace, really?  Lol.  It does bother me sometimes but not because I think he is trying to look single, more because he has no regard sometimes for taking care of things that are valuable.  He's kind of a bull in a china shop and breaks everything.  I don't have any concern that he is out with someone or trying to attract someone else, just as I'm sure he didn't when I didn't wear my rings while I was pg.

  • Yes, he wears it all the time. I think it would bother me if he didn't wear it. I also always wear mine, I felt sooo naked towards the end of my pregnancy when I was too swollen to wear it.

  • I'd say about 50/50.  He works with his hands a lot at work so sometimes he doesn't wear it then, but if we're going out, he always wears it. He takes it off at home and is always misplacing it, which is irritating.  Its ended up down furnace vents, lost in the depths of his recliner, etc.  I wear mine until it gives me a rash and then I have to take it off until the rash clears.  OT, but it's done that ever since I got my BFP.

  • DH wears his all the time, I don't think I have ever seen him with it off. He has a serious tan line from it too.

    It would bother me if he didn't wear it, and I think it would bother him if I didn't wear mine.

  • I'm not married but no it wouldn't bother me. He isn't allowed to wear jewelry on the job and I hate wearing rings, so I probably wouldn't wear mine either.

  • When he remembers to put it on. Neither of us sleep with our rings on, so it's a matter of him remembering to put it on before he leaves. It doesn't bother me. Our rings are not the symbol of our love or commitment to each other.

    The majority of the time, no. It's too dangerous for work and most of the rest of the time out of habit he doesn't wear it. I wear mine to work, but they come off the instant I come home.

    We know perfectly well that we are married and don't need a ring to remind us of that.

     

    I already respondend, but this is exactly how I feel. I always take mine off as soon as I get home and I rarely wear it during the weekend.

  • DH does not wear his.  Because of his job, he would constantly be taking it off and putting it on.  He will wear it if I ask him to, like for church.  It used to bother me, but I got over it.  In the scope of things it's just not that important to me.

  • Yes, he wears it most of the time, he takes if off at work because it would be dangerous but has it on a caribeaner (sp?) and puts it right back on. It would bother me if he didn't wear it outside of work.

  • Yes, and it would bother me if he didn't.  Guys should be proud to be married and wear the ring!

  • He wears it all of the time because he has huge knuckles and can't remove it. :)  I take mine off at home and sometimes forget to put it back on.  Honestly, it wouldn't bother me if he didn't wear it.  A ring is not going to keep someone from cheating if they are going to.

  • We don't even have rings.  We didn't do ring exchange at our ceremony.  No reason really but it doesn't bother us.  I do get that jealous feeling when I see my friends get engaged with nice rings but I get over it real quick.  I told him I want one at some point but I can't wear jewelery on the job really so I am in no rush.

  • Nope, doesnt wear one. He can't for work, and he usually forgets on the weekends.

    Doesn't bother me. I don't get why it would bother others. A piece of metal doesn't make a marriage, and I've always heard from guy friends/my DH that guys with a ring on get hit on more than those without one. Girls are skanky, and if he wants to cheat he'll do it whether he wears a ring or not.

    Luckily I don't need my DH to wear a piece of metal to know he's committed.

  • I wear mine all of the time. I don't even take it off to sleep or anything.  DH doesn't even have a ring.  When we had our wedding, we both knew he didn't want to wear one, but we bought a cheapie for the ceremony.  It doesn't bother me at all.  Like others have said, the ring doesn't make the marriage.

  • Yes, he wears it. It would bother me if he never wore it (maybe more so because his cost more than mine!!) but I don't get upset if he doesn't always wear it, especially with the work he does.
