Why Do Some Men Don't Wear Their Wedding Ring?

I oftentimes see married men who don't have a wedding ring on any of their finger, it makes me wonder. Maybe they have grown that fat and the ring doesn't fit to the finger anymore (but there's the little finger, right?)?..mmhmm..or is it because they don't want to be known as married individuals? Well for me, maybe, just maybe they are unhappy with the relationship that is why they are not proud to wear that important symbol of marriage. What are your thoughts on this matter my dear mylotters?

hi mjm! well, there really are different reasons. when we got married, my husband would forget wearing his ring during the early weeks. he has not been wearing a ring ever since and suddenly found himself having to wear a ring. also, it didn't help that his ring was quite loose, so he was afraid of losing it. anyway, he is more of a regular wearer now that i am because i stay mostly at home and don't wear any jewelry, including my wedding ring. i guess some men have valid reasons, while others well, i guess they are just out to do some hanky panky. take care and God bless you! :D

I would say it could be for any one or more of those reasons. Some men cannot wear them any more and some men simply just hate jewelry. However, in some cases if you are concerned about why your man (if it is him) does this...you may need to ask him about it.

He don't like to let other women know that he is already married.. I think that is also one reason why they don't like to wear wedding ring.. Of course, when a girl know that man is already married she will not flirt anymore or making keep distance to the guy (unless those girl/women don't care whether the man is married or not).. Some guys still want to flirt even they are already married.. Maybe your right that they are not already happy with their wife or in the relationship or maybe he don't love anymore his wife, or they are already separated.. I don't know! There are so many reasons why they were not wearing their wedding ring and they only knew the real reason..

In a lot of places men do not have wedding rings to wear. They are more common in the USA than they are in the UK..

We Indians never thought of asking this question to anybody. We Hindus do not have any kind of marriage symbol for men, but for women its many, a chain called mangalsutra, toe ring, vermilion on the hair partition hahhaha . so many....none for the men.

I think they want to have a free image on the eyes of the people meaning they're still single and no commitment in that way they can attract more girls but that's my opinion.

Married men who won't wear their rings are always doing it to present themselves as available. Their excuses are all the same 1. finger got almost torn off due to ring. 2. don't like jewelry. If #1 was true, the man would take it off for work but wear it all the rest of the time (they don't). #2 is just plain lame. Get wise ladies, if your guy won't wear his ring, then he is either a cheater or seeking to become one. Even if he just likes the flirtation of appearing single, what does flirtation sometimes lead to? Yes, there is the rare man who does not fit into the above categories...but that would be about 1% of the men who refuse to wear their rings....

I think there are many reasons for this situation.One reason is the men don't love to wear the wedding ring,they don't have the habit of wearing rings.One reason is they want to find another women in daily life.

I think that men did not love their wife.Because we know that ring is a sign of marriage.And if they say that it's fit to the fingers,for me its not an acceptable reason,there is a little finger.or it's because they don't want to know that they are marriage.they want to pretend single.
