Do you ever take your wedding band off?

.."person on the town without their wedding ring.." I know! Yuck! - my wedding ring shrunk so I don't wear it.. and we never did get hubby one (always something else needing the money). We really need to go and get ourselves some wedding rings!

I take mine off everyday. I love jewelry but just can not sleep in it. I cause me to have a weird claustrophobic feeling. I wear it everyday and then take it off at night when I change into comfortable clothes. My spouse is the same way. Wears it everyday and takes it off every night.

I have to take my wedding band off for my job also, Jer331558. I actually am on my second wedding band, still my first marriage though. My first band bent into an awkward shape and was cutting into my fingers. Seems that holding a bat while playing softball as much as I did when I first was married bent it out of shape. My wife bought me a new one as a gift and I wore it without removing it ever for more than 15 years until I started a job about a year ago that requires I have it off. She never takes hers off. I put it back on when I leave work.

I wore my band from when we got married until September 2005, I never took it off. I have reasons that I took it off but they are too long a story to go into!! When I took my ring off I did not put it back on until 2007 when I had a new ring, it is a bit of a worry though as the new ring has not been blessed in anyway so it really is not a proper ring to me until it has had some sort of blessing or something.

For a long time, my husband didnt wear his. It was really thin and one day it got caught in a tool at work and almost took his finger off. He was scared to wear it after that. But after a while, I got tired of that and now he has one that is so thick he cant hardly hold his hand up to wave!! hehe :)

Well if I was Married... I would have a fit if they had took it off for a night out. But i do know that there are alot fo jobs that require men to take it off while on the clock. Never heard of any were women have to take em off, unless of course she is doing a man's job :) So if it was for a night out, ohhh boy, lots of trouble. For work, well money pays the bills and if he has to take it off 8 hrs a day to pay bills, I have an extra pocket I could hold it in. [the ring, not the money] lol

Jer, mine only comes off for cleaning, or the rare time in the the hospital. My husband can not wear his due to the machines and tools he uses but trust me the collar and leash about his neck lets everyone know he is very married! Those have served me well now many many years :))))))

I understand everything your saying. I do take mine off but that is to do my daughter's hair and myhair but only when I wash it. Her hair is always getting tangled in it. Plus I'm scared to take it off any other time because I might lose it or forget to put it back one. But for the most part is because I treasure this ring before the man upstair and my husband, so if I didn't want to wear it I should've said YES to him.

Hi Sweetie......I would not have a problem with this at all. As I have stated in the past........Rings are Basically Ornaments , but they do serve as stop signs to outsiders. I know where my Lover's heart is ; therefore , if he doesn't want to wear his ring....So be it! I just had an experience the other day though ( having said this ) where I suddenly noticed that I hadn't put my ring on....and for some reason I became panicked. But I thought to my self....why am I panicked over this. I know my lover and he knows Me. Why am I Fretting over such a trifiling thing. It's funny how we get caught up in the little-stuff!

It's not a problem for me, anyway, that is only a jewelry but matters most for me is our feelings and love for each other. I also don't wear it a lot even if I am just inside the house because I work a lot like cleaning,gardening and I don't want it to be scratched.LOL!My husband's work also makes him refuse to wear it. Only during occasion outside like parties,eating out,that he will ask his band!LOL

Though I am not married.....if I had a spouse I wouldn't want them to wear it if it were dangerous.....but wear it any other time. Since it's the symbol of eternal love.

My husband doesn't wear his ring at work. He can't wear it because he works in the operating room.But as soon as he gets home. My husband puts it back on.And if he never wore it I would still trust him.

I felt terrible and not valued. My husband never wore his wedding ring when we were married and I should have told him more often how I felt. He's remarried now and woe to him if he takes it off!! If it's a health risk on the job, take it off during working hours. Otherwise, I think it should be worn out of love and respect for your spouse. Sure, it's just a symbol but it's very important to the one who loves you.

I take mine off all the time. Wear it when I travel or when I go out with my husband or friends. But when I am just about during the day I hardly ever wear it.

It's understandable when people have jobs that make it dangerous for them to wear rings. I don't have such a job, so I don't have to worry, The only time I take my wedding ring off is when I am going to go into the pool. I put it back on right after I get out.

i take it off as soon as i get home from work/being out because i have arthritis in my fingers and wearing most rings really hurt my fingers. sometimes if we go out again at night (to run to the store etc) i forget to put it back on! lol

My ex nearly got his hand tore or when his ring got caught on a piece of equipment, so he quit wearing it through the week while at work, some take it off when they go out so that other women don't know they are married,, they are sneaks and should not be married at all, if this is the way they feel. As for me my hands and fingers swell now to the point it is hard for me to wear mine, but I do make sure I got them on if we going out somewhere. It shows unity in the marriage. i think it shows you are married and proud of it, that you are no longer looking for someone. But I would rather my hubby had his hand than wear the band. If he just didn't like to wear it, some don't I guess it all depends on how they feel about wearing it , and the reason behind it.

Only when my hands swell bad or to clean them.

I did wear a wedding band when my husband was alive. Some years after he passed away i took it off and put it away so that i wouldn't lose it.

I'm new to Mylot and this is my first posting. I take off my wedding band before I apply hair cream to my hair. Don't want all that greasy stuff on my ring. I know hubby takes it off when he feels he'll be in a position where he might lose it, eg. when taking part in certain sports, in very cold weather when the band feels loose on his finger. He always tells me when he's about to take it off. Otherwise, we're both happy to display the band on our fingers.
