Yea tru, tru. I was thinking girls wearing fake wedding rings in places where there's lots guys so she would have good reason to say no. While dudes wearing rings for their own reasons. And other type who just do it cuz they wanna.tranquility922 wrote: ↑ What's meant by that? Lol you're either married or you're not. Let's not try to over think things.
Do you choose not to wear your wedding ring?

I'm sure some spouses may say it's OK but it sure is disrespectful and insensitive.
One has to wonder how many other areas in the relationship the non wearer is uncaring about or assumes is OK.

Brides wear gowns at wedding too, does any of them still wearing it after their wedding day?
You just picked a very bad example.
One mentioned as well, a lot girls/guys wear a ring (although not wedding ring) even they are not married or engaged. People shouldn't judge a person is marred or not by looking at the fingers.

I actually find rings kind of cumbersome and feel that they get in the way. So what is an alternative to tattooing my finger if/when I want to get married but don't want to wear a ring regularly? A ring on a necklace already means something else--a promise ring. I just prefer naked hands.
I hate to be crude, but what would someone who doesn't have any fingers do?

Brides wear their wedding dress once is because that is the TRADITION. Other ppl don't wear bridal dresses to regular occasions, which is why it is impossible to find a big selection of white dresses at the mall. Married ppl wear wedding rings on their ring finger because that is the tradition. A bride wearing her dress once is not the same as a guy wearing his wedding ring only on his wedding day.MP3_SKY wrote: ↑ Brides wear gowns at wedding too, does any of them still wearing it after their wedding day?

Yup, it's a bit symbolic. If they can't even do a little thing like that, they should've continued just dating or being common law. What's the point of getting into all that 'hassle'/formality/legality of marriage (esp in this day and age, when ppl don't care as much about children out of wedlock, etc) and then turn around not being bothered w/ probably one of the smallest 'efforts' required? It's quite silly imo.
Hard work, inheritance, interest on interest accumulating, and stock and real estate speculation. It's all good.

Some guys can't handle wearing ties or suits, or short hair cuts.

The only time I wear mine is when I go to work or go out. When I'm at home I take it off. My wife does the same thing. One of the reasons she does not wear it is to prevent scratching our toddler accidentally with her band/engagement combo.

I used to wear mine but I hate jewelry so I don't anymore. My wife doesn't care - she is easy going.

I don't wear my wedding band, simply because I don't like wearing jewelry (except for watches). The only time I wore it was for the wedding ceremony. My wife is aware and okay with it!

ok, seriously. I'm intrigued. Why not? It can't be age, because I know really reeally old farts who use a cellphone.
Was this something you chose to do yourself? Avoiding something..someone? Out of necessity? Just for kicks? Cellphone isn't only to be 'reachable'., it's our extension to the internet right? I'm very impressed & fascinated.
[/quote]Maybe an example will help...
Was looking up a dude I knew and last talked to back in the 1990s. There is almost no info on the guy on the internet. Saw some video/pics of him, and checked his ring finger to see if he was married or not. No ring. What does that tell me? Absolutely nothing, 'cuz married ppl like u who don't wear a ring on their ring finger screw things up for ppl who want to know!
What is even the pt of using rings at the wedding?
lol., forgive me, I think you're just jaded, this is why. Beck's, just keep your shoegame up, you'll find someone soon enough.
Okay peeps, I'm loving this thread. Full disclosure here. Both my s/o and myself have our same rings since we got married a few years ago....ok.let's just say our eldest is finished Elementary..MORE than a few. Our first few days afterwards (we were staying with her brother & his fam, abroad). She took it off. haha. Boy it kinda miffed me. Thankfully her bro's wife jacked her up for that LOL. Well, needless to say we've both kept our rings on since then.
I really find it peculiar why you'd get married but not wear a wedding ring - unless ring avulsions are common in your line of work, or .... unless - you want to keep your options open.
Perhaps someone can explain to me, what is the common-law folk etiquette on 'wedding' rings? Do they have a similar etiquette? Or not. Hence the expression 'put a ring on it'.
For those of you who've said you don't wear your ring and your wives are 'okay' with it, can I ask how many of them have your pool boy/postman/mechanics cell programmed in their speed dial? (runs and hides, while grabbing the popcorn bag)

After having my third kid, my nickel allergy came on x10. My original ring has perforations in it and it left a mild lacy-looking burn around my finger. My hubby bought me a platinum ring, same result. So, no ring.

^^ I don't use a cellphone because it is not free. Tons of ppl use them probably 'cuz it doesn't cost them anything. The others r complaining about Bell/Rogers/Telus.
^ How about wearing a 24k ring?

When I was married I never took it off. It didn't bother me to sleep in it. My parents (they were married 60 years before my dad died) always wore theirs too. If I were taking it off I guarantee I would lose it or forget it.markopas wrote: ↑ Different cultures and religions vary on this as their core value.
I wear mine, take it off before I go to bed and back on when I wake up once I get ready for work (wife is the same way).
Going to the gym we would usually leave them at home, just something about lifting weights with jewellery impedes your ability to hold the bar correctly.

I find it odd that such a seemingly mundane topic has attracted such strong opinions. It's a piece of jewelry on on a finger, and that has no meaning on its own. The only meaning to a wedding band is whatever you (and you alone, although you'd probably want to discuss with your SO) want it to be.
If wearing the wedding band gave magical powers of loyalty to their SO then sure I'd understand wanting to wear it all the time, but it doesn't. People are going to do what they want to do.
All that being said, I'm not married yet, but I've discussed this with my SO and we're probably getting tattoos (line of work, forgetfulness, and because tattoos).
