Who wears a wedding ring

I wore a ring for many, many years. Never took it off. Eventually I gained weight and circulation was impaired. I cut the ring off a few years ago and haven't gotten around to replacing it. My wife and I are almost always together so I don't see that it matters.
 
No. Wore one briefly after married but eventually took it off. Never liked the feeling. It has since been lost/stolen.
 
I did wear one, worked on aircraft and every morning would put into FOD PACK then put on when done. Finally lost it 🤬. Tried silicon, didn’t like…..

Have been thinking about a tattoo, DD and SIL have them, love it…

DW wears hers, 34 years loving each other.❤️❤️
 
Yep - wear it every day. Used to have to take it off for surgery and dropped it in the locker room so many times, always found it though.
 
90 degree off topic question:

Does anyone here pay attention to wedding bands on OTHER's hands? I rarely do. I NEVER look to see if someone is wearing a wedding band. IOW I never look to see if someone is married (or not.) I might notice a wedding band - especially if it is flashy enough (or an engagement "rock" if it's big enough) but I just don't "look" for it.

I was wondering if wearing one would make strange men leave me the heck alone. . .
 
I wear my ring every day. Several years ago I switched to a silicone ring. It is much more comfortable and safer.

I lost a bunch of weight. On a hike a few months ago, the ring slipped off somewhere. It felt so weird not having it on.

Another weird thing happened. I was working in the yard with my work gloves on. When I pulled my glove off, I had an extra wedding ring on. I have no idea where it came from. I went inside immediately to show my family. Still have not figured that one out. I wear the gloves all the time. The only time I lost a ring was on the hiking trip mentioned above. I did not have my work gloves on the hike.
 
We put ours on the day we got married. I can't remember the last time I took mine off.

Koolau, I don't pay any attention to it. I do recognize when people have them on at times though.

Better hang onto that glove. Could be like the goose that laid the golden egg.;)

Right. Since I'm not looking for a partner, I guess I don't pay attention. Never really did. Every once in while, a ring will just stand out.

We had a stunning young lady at w*rk who was single (divorced, actually.) Rumors abounded about her dating one of the department heads of another building. I never much paid attention to such rumors nor did I care. One day, she came in with the biggest diamond I ever saw in person. IIRC it was 4 carats. THAT I noticed. Of course, she took every opportunity to wave it around, so...:cool:

IIRC the marriage lasted about as many months as the carats in her diamond. What was truly sad was that the poor guy who had given her the ring was one of the really "good ones" (a highly competent person with friendly manner and good people skills. He always gave me full cooperation when I needed his assistance in performing my duties.) Shortly after the break-up, he left Megacorp and moved to another state.

Returning you now...
 
DH and I are leaving to go dancing in a few minutes. We take our rings off for dancing, don't want the ring to go flying off on the dance floor!

As a now single guy, that's one of the first things I notice.

No point in starting a conversation in my small community with what ends up being a married woman and be thought of as a coyote for "hitting on" a married lady.

Told my occasional companion to move her ring to a different finger if she didn't want to advertise herself as "taken". It isn't my ring BTW ;)
 
Well if you want to reject someone's advances it is good to have a reason that preserves their ego and a ring can be that excuse. . . even if it didn't fend them off initially.

The world has become much more violent since my younger days.

I very nearly left a big box store today when I saw a large irrational man cursing at high volume . . . I have no idea what upset him but it crossed my mind I hoped he didn't go out to the parking lot or go home and come back with a gun.

Any lady who has turned a man down has had at least once instance of being called nasty names at the very least.

I would imagine most here and most likely 100% of the Ladys wear a wedding ring. I worked in an industry where it was unsafe to wear ring, watches or any metal button shirt etc.

I personally never have toted one my entire married life. The first year or so I might have worn it on weekends or on special occasions. To this day I have not worn it or have I ever worn a watch.

Do most of you men wear one??

Like you, in the Oilfield jewelry was dangerous and I did not wear my ring at work.

Sadly, my fingers got too fat for my original simple gold wedding ring and we bought a new fancier one.

Then they both got stolen....have not got a new one yet. I might yet.
 
I worked in an industry (refining/chemicals) where wearing any type of jewelry was not a good idea. Wife and I have wedding rings but don't wear them. Quit wearing a watch in 2005 when I retired.
