Anyone else having a hard time wearing rings due to swelling? It's heating up here on the easy coast and I wasn't expecting to have this problem until later.

My rings usually get tight in the summer once it gets warmer, so I know it's going to happen. Some days I noticed if i'm not drinking as much, I notice my hands swelling.
I'm thinking one day soon the rings will need to be put away... I told DH, and he pointed to my belly and said, "it's okay....your belly is enough of an indication that you are taken"
Have you tried Windex? I used to work in a jewelry store and we never had a ring we couldn't budge with Windex.
Absolutely trying it today!! It reminds me of the father in My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Ha! Love that movie! I always thought of that when we told people we could get the ring off if they let us spray a little Windex. They usually thought we were joking!

Mine are still OK, but Canada had a long winter this year so it's only just warming up, I will probably take my engagement ring off soon as I take that on and off and I don't want it getting stuck, I won't take my wedding band off though, I didn't last time and it was fine, it's pretty loose in the winter anyway and I have never taken it off since the day we married, and unless it's cutting circulation I don't intend to start now.
It really bugs me that DH takes his off at all, how is it a symbol of everlasting love if you take it off?...I know I am very old fashioned in this view (DH says crazy LOL), but there it is.
Mine have been getting tight when I wake up in the morning. Last summer they got tight as well, sO know it'll be way worse this summer. I already have a few sets pinned on Pinterest that I'll be looking at buying once it starts to get warmer. All are CZ with white gold overlay. They're a little more expensive than a normal CZ/silver set ($80-$120 range) but I'm a jewelry snob so I don't want something that looks fake.

Apparently my right hand is swelling more than my left... I'm close to out-swelling my promise ring, but my celtic ring is larger, so that will be the last to go.
My left hand seems to be getting smaller, I had to put some tape on it for a while since my rings almost fell off
I too don't like it when DH doesn't wear his ring, but for his job he can't wear it due to it being a safety hazard. Also he has lost a ton of weight since we got married and his ring cant be resized. It used to bother me a lot more, but not so much that DH has my name tattooed on his finger so it's not like people don't know he's taken.
