Does Your Husband Wear a Wedding Ring?

Updated on March 18, 2013
J.K. asks from Overland Park, KS
70 answers

My husband does not. It started out when we were first married, because of his job with machinery. And he just got in the habit of not wearing it because of that, and 22 years later, he is still not wearing it, except for special occasions when we dress up. It doesn't really bother me much, but got me to thinking if other women's husbands wear a ring, and if not, does it bother you? Oh, and if you are wondering, he is not having an affair or hiding anything from me. I am with him all the time.

What can I do next?

My husband bought me a $10,000 engagement ring. He had it custom made and really put a lot of thought into it. He bought himself a $50 wedding ring. It broke within a week of us being married. Fell off in the shower, hit the porcelain and into pieces it went. He never got a new one. Doesn't bother me at all. He doesn't care and wearing one irritates him. I love wearing mine!

Seriously, he does wear his. But we are on our 4th wedding band for him in 10 years. The other three are 1. at the bottom of a lake 2. in a Kmart store in eastern NC 3. At the bottom of the ocean. If he loses this one, he doesn't get another.

Mine is the same way.

I dont fault him, I dont where mine either.

We got pregnant 1 month after we got married. Once I was about 3 months in, I had to stop wearing it.

With kids I never felt like putting it back on. It is somewhere in my house now.

My husband sold his so that we had the cash.

We both want to get bands tattooed on our ring finger. For us that would be our best bet of always wearing them:)

I have had men try to hit on me and then get really rude when I turn them down because I am married. They always want to know where my ring is. I laugh at them so hard.

Yes. He wears his wedding ring. it is his second one - as his first one fell off his finger in the surf on our honeymoon!

Do I wear a wedding ring? Yeah - when I feel like it. I don't need a ring to tell me I'm married or available and I know my husband doesn't need one...he sees it as his "seal of approval" - the W. he loves approved enough of him to marry him...but really? he doesn't need to wear a ring to say "I'm taken".

answers from Redding on

When I was married, my husband always wore his ring. It had diamonds in it and was very attractive (not to other women, wink wink).

I had a beautiful set of rings, 2-1/2 carats. A lot of the time, I just wore a plain band because I was always baking, canning, sewing, gardening....
I wore my rings at less casual times. My rings are size 4 so I don't imagine anyone else being able to wear them, but I'm saving them for my son. Someday he'll be married and he might want to use the diamonds to have something made for his wife.

I know many men who don't wear a ring for safety reasons. It doesn't bother their wives. They'd rather have a husband with all of his fingers.

I"m glad so many don't! Mine doesn't bc his fingers are completely tapered so it just falls off. No knuckle really that will keep it on. He offered to tatoo a band on though which I thought was very sweet. My dad didn't really wear one either. Said it bugged him. I now take my rings off at my desk a lot. For some reason they've started bugging me too. So I understand now how they bother people. I kind of wish my husband could wear one though. I figure people think he doesn't bc he wants to cheat :)

And like my husband said, while it is representative of our marriage, it is still just a piece of jewelry. *shrugs* Doesn't bother me! :)

Yep. All day everyday.

*I'M* the one who doesn't wear one regularly. I have beautiful engagement and wedding rings, but I'm somewhat allergic to them. If I wear them too long, I get a rash, so I only wear them if we're going out or on special occasions and only for a few hours at a time.

One of these days, I'll have the stones reset into a platinum ring. You know, when we have no more debt of any kind and some extra cash laying around...in other words, never.

No, and I don't either.

For him it started because of his job. They actually can not wear them. When not at work he would put it on, but over the years that was just a pain and he quit wearing one.

Sorda the same with me, only I hate when they get wet and got tired of always having to dry them so over time I just took them off and stopped wearing them. Then I lost mine, they're in this house somewhere, just haven't figured out wear.

It doesn't matter to either of us.

We both don't. We got married when we were really young and just bought the cheapest rings that were real gold. Mine eventually broke, his eventually got too small. Even though we had planned on getting some new ones eventually, it hasn't happened so far. It's just not on top of our priority list. Fortunately, the wedding ring and if one wears it or not doesn't have anything to do with the health of a marriage. We'll be celebrating our 20th anniversary this summer.

answers from Houston on

My husband has worn his wedding band every single day since we got married. The exception was a medical procedure he underwent a few months back. He was quite annoyed when the hospital insisted he remove his ring. He struggled to wiggle it off and then he kept rubbing his finger until he was able to put it back on. I find it endearing since I don't mind if he wears it or not. It means a lot to me he does wear it but I wouldn't throw a hissy fit if he didn't. People, especially men, can be funny about how jewelry feels. I wear my rings when I leave the house but I take them off when I get home. There have been times I wish my husband would take his ring off so it won't be damaged while he works.

As an aside my grandfather wore his ring for decades. It had to be cut off during a medical procedure and he was very upset. I believe some people take the symbolism of their wedding rings to heart which is a wonderful thing. For me this falls under the heading ‘what works for your marriage/family’.

My first husband never wore his and it drove me crazy. Ok, not really crazy, but it did make me a bit sad.

My current husband wears his all the time. I never see him without it! Kind of cute.

But for me? I rarely wear mine! IF I remember before going out for a date night, I slip it on. But most of the time, even on special occasions, I remember it as we are pulling out of the driveway and don't bother to get it. I love jewelry, and I don't mind some other rings but somehow this one started to bother me about 2 years into marriage (married 11.5 so far). It fits, it's lovely, I always know where it is but it's not on my finger. I fiddle with it way too much and end up slipping it into a pocket or bag and fear I will lose it so it just stays home. I probably wear it only about 2% of the time.

My husband wears his ring more than I wear mine. I have super sensitive skin and when any water gets & stays under the ring i end up with chapped and painful sores. In the winter I wear a tiny sliver of a silver band around my finger becuase the smaller the ring the less water and get caught up and sit against my skin. I almost always take it off at home and if I'm running in the morning I can forget to slip it back on. He wears his almost all the time - and if my skin were not so easily irritaited I'd keep mine on all the time too.

But we are secure with each other - we've been through too much together to bother starting all over with someone else!

He does, unless he has an injury or is doing something that might hurt the ring.

It doesn't bother me. I think it bothered him more when he broke his hand and couldn't wear it. He takes pride in being a husband.

When I took off my ring when I was pregnant, it didn't mean I hated him. I just didn't want it to get stuck. I put it on a chain and when his ring wouldn't fit, I wore that one, too. I have a friend who can't wear a ring, either, as he is allergic to most metals. While I prefer DH wear his ring, a ring won't keep someone from straying so it boils down to his comfort and our trust in each other.

FWIW, my in-laws have been married 56 years and FIL doesn't wear a ring. Similar reasons to your DH.

answers from Chicago on

Nope. He originally stopped because it irritated him with his hands sweating and such. I don't really wear mine either--though that's mostly because it does not fit. I do wear a silver ring that looks like a fancy engagement ring or bridal ring. It does not bother me that he does not wear it. The only time we ever had to say anything is when someone mentioned to me (husband was maybe 10 feet away) that my "partner" must not like to marry white girls and can have his cake and kids and eat it too. She was already making me mad and I was very happy to tell her we were married more than 15 yrs at the time.

Actually, I do not recall ever seeing my parents wear wedding rings. Hmm. I think my dad kept his on his keyring.

Mine doesn't wear his because of work. Like yours, he wears his when we go out and on some weekends (again, only when we are going out). Although yesterday, he wore it to run errands.

I could care less. I knew he wouldn't wear it going in to the marriage due to work but it really doesn't matter at all. As long as I have my rings that's all I care about.

It's funny, I do think ladies at work flirt with him because he's such a great guy - but I don't think he sees it and it certainly doesn't phase him. And it doesn't make me jealous. I find it flattering that anyone would flirt with my husband. He's a catch!

About 99% of the time. But it's a little loose, so he does take it off if he's going swimming, working out and when he's doing something gross with his hands - like mixing ground beef.

If there was a reason he wasn't wearing it, like work safety, then it wouldn't bother me.....but if it was just because he didn't 'feel like it', then I think it might. Yes, it's just a ring, but it's also a symbol of our commitment to each other. It would have *nothing* to do with me thinking he's hiding an affair. I know him, I trust him.

When my husband was a police officer, he did not wear it to work for the reasons described by others below. I didn't wear mine while I was pregnant with sausage fingers. Other than that, rings are pretty non-negotiable for me. My maternal grandparents and one set of aunt/uncle are jewelers so wedding rings carry a lot of significance in our family. His not wearing a ring to me would be like my not taking his name would have been to him. Neither lessen the fact that you are married or the depth of your commitment, they are just symbols of the union that both of us feel are important.
And yes, I did suggest not taking his name and he did suggest not wearing a ring, but we share a last name and he wears his ring :)

answers from Cleveland on

My DH never took his off from the day we got married in 1993 until New Year's Day this year. He cleaned out a storage room in our basement and a couple hours later realized that his ring was gone. Thankfully he found the ring in the basement. He started running a couple years ago and lost weight. That combined with the cold has made his fingers really skinny. He doesn't think he wants to get the ring resized (don't really have the money right now) so he hasn't worn it since New Year's.

I don't wear my wedding ring because it is too small. After I had my first dd, I had to have it resized because it was too small. Years later after I had my second dd, it was too small again. I don't want it resized again. I am hoping I can just lose the weight instead. I am slowly losing weight so maybe in a year I can start wearing my ring again.

Nope. He played semi-pro volleyball in his younger days and broke/dislocated his ring finger several times. Now that he's older it swells so about half the time he can't get it on, the other half it falls off, lol. He does wear it on his right hand quite a bit. Either way it doesn't bother me.

He used to, but his work makes his fingers swell and it would get painfully tight. We took it in to be resized to make it larger, but they messed up the sizing and wouldn't fix it without charging again. We just gave up. (That jeweler went out of business, btw.)

Yes, unless he is just hanging out at home, golfing or doing something else where it would bother him. We actually started with a titanium band so he could get used to wearing it (and it's so lightweight) and then switched to white gold since I know the hazards of wearing titanium. It doesn't bother me if he doesn't wear it. I have no reason to.

Mine doesn't due to the nature of his job, but it's never bothered me. He keeps it on a nice watch he has, so when we dress up, it's there on his watch. Nice thoughtful way to do it. Oh, and he has very short fingers between knuckle and hand, so it looks weird anyway! Ha!

We both wear ours except when we sometimes forget. We both take them off at night when we sleep. I actually forgot this morning since I was interrupted by one of my kids when I was getting ready this morning. We've been married for 13 years.

My husband has to remove his for work, but he wears it most other times. I don't wear one at all, have not for years. The commitment is in our hearts, not on our hands.

My husband doesn't wear it at work. It is often in his pockets.
He is working around machinery that can "catch" on his ring and rip his finger off and working with chemicals that can damage the ring.
It doesn't bother me at all. Everyone at work knows who we are, knows our kids, and I guess I just don't really think about it.

Funny thing, My husband did wear it for the first few years, not at work but the rest of the time, I think. After about 5 years he had an accident that severed his left pinky and ring fingers. He obviously hasn't worn it since. My son told him he should get my name tattooed on what is left of that finger. Haha.
Either way, It probably would have bothered me early on in our marriage, but not anymore (20+ years).

No, he does not wear it. Actually he had to have it cut off his finger when his finger swelled up after he started wearing it. So, he doesn't even have one anymore and I didn't wear mine because it was too small and then our house was broken into last year and it was stolen. So neither one of us has a wedding ring anymore. Maybe we will get new ones if we make it to our 20th wedding anniversary or something.

sort of. He is in facilities and it bugs him when he works. And there are certain things (electric) that he shouldn't do with it on for safety reasons. So he would wear it when we went out but he has gained some weight and broken his finger so it does not fit and is not size-able. Now he wears it on a chain on his neck. Not that it proves to other people that he is married because it is under his shirt. I do not wear my wedding set but a ring he got me later. Part of me wonders if I should sell it because if it is not getting worn...what does it matter.
