Been together for 17 1/2 years. Proud to be married and wear our rings. We took the opportunity to get married when it was legal and now proudly wear them. So much so that the only time they are off is when we shower.

Love of my life and I am proud to be married. Looking forward to the day when we are married in the eyes of the Fed.

Close minded azzholzs.

Yes, we wear them when not working. My other half works in freight management and I am on a ranch. In both cases a ring can cause you to lose a finger under the right circumstances. When there is no danger the ring is on my finger.

Giggles, this may not be your experience, but it has been mine and I'll share it with you. When the women I know are getting married, the rings are a huge deal. "We got engaged, look at my ring!" "You're engaged??? Let me see your ring!" "Oh, my God, look at your ring!" "He went to Jared." "Your ring is so beautiful!" "I picked out my own ring because Mark would never be able to choose the right one." "An engagement ring should cost two months' salary."

If we're talking "generally," women LOVE the rings. I'm sure every couple is different and no one rule is always true, but come on. The rings are not currently a medieval torture device used to subjugate and disempower women and brand them as the property of men. They're a tradition that the majority of women are FAR more interested in and excited about than their fiances and husbands.

I personally believe that something like 80% of men could take or leave the custom with no strong feelings either way if the ladies were completely neutral on it, and something like 95% of women would be at least disappointed to not have one.

I take mine off to wash my hands or if I'm doing a dirty job and have no gloves (I can never remember where I left the gloves!)

My husband takes his off to wash his hands and when his allergies flare up because his fingers swell. If he did dirty jobs, I'm sure he'd take it off then too, but he doesn't.

He hates jewellery, not just his own, but anyone's. He wears it because he wants to wear it as a symbol of our marriage.

Well, I do wish married men would wear their rings. I hate wasting a good flirt on a married man! :tongue:

Seriously though, I once dated a man for almost a month before finding out he was married. And I do NOT do married men. I know rings come off, but a man who habitually wears his tends to have indentations or tan lines that are noticeable.

I take my ring off at night when I sleep, when I'm working on the car or doing anything that could destroy it. I also like to take it off when I take a shower and cook.
Other than that it stays on;)

Always. It only comes off when I'm lifting weights because the knurling on the bar can scratch it up too much. In that case, I put it back on between sets so I don't lose it at the gym.

I knew a woman whose first husband kept his on his key chain. Whenever she found her second husband's laying loose, she'd take and put it on his key chain. He got the message.

We have been married for 27 years now. I wear mine during the day, but as soon as I get home from work, I take everything out of my pants pockets, take my watch off, and take my ring off as well. I do the same thing whether I am at home, or if I am traveling on business.

The first time married yes. But had to remove it for work during the day anyway. Far to dangerous to wear rings on your fingers in construction. Can become snagged on anything at anytime.

"Your ring is so beautiful!" "I picked out my own ring because Mark would never be able to choose the right one." "An engagement ring should cost two months' salary."

:biggrin1: I bought into the investment grade diamond idea and had it set in an heirloom quality setting. I have always told my wife that if she gets tired of her engagement ring and decides not to wear it anymore that we should sell it and buy a car with the money. That's what I get for getting the best I could nearly afford after I was already "grown up" and had a salaried job.

Like one poster said (I started typing this before I noted who it was) about hating the feel of metal on his skin -- I'm that way with certain metals but not others. I can't wear yellow gold for example. It's too "hot" and it makes me uncomfortable. My mom was the same way and always said it was because yellow gold is a "solar" metal. Copper is the same way. We needed "lunar" metals like silver, platinum, and white gold. Sounds wacky but at least psychosomatically I can tell a difference.

The point of this psychotic rambling (no doubt brought on having just spent the last hour wrenching under a tractor and breathing fuel fumes) is that if wearing a ring is important to you, you may try a different type of precious metal.
