Do you take your ring off?

I do take my ring off occasionally. However, I've never taken it off in anger with my hubby. Typically, it comes off when I'm gardening, when I apply lotion to myself, and sometimes before showering. I've scratched the bejesus out of myself with that thing! I will also take it off if I'm doing a type of cooking that involves hand-kneeding or hand-mixing.

I have to admit that occasionally, I will leave the house without it, having forgotten to put it back on. It is never intentional though. I love my ring and it has become an extension of my hand!

No, I never managed to get it off. Even during sugery they had to tape the ring in case of germs. Once, I tried to get it off and throw at my husband but I could not get it off. We ended up giggling. He would never fight or argue so my tantrums during the foirst year of masrriage just fizzled out. He was so quiet - full of fun but his temper was not arounsed easily.

I still wear both rings - even though I have been a widow for 9 years now.

The last time I took it off was to clean it.

Yes I've taken it off when I've been mad at him. And boy does that piss him off! But you know what... he's lost 2 rings so far (haven't bought #3 yet) & they don't allow them to wear it at work so I understand. But still hurts that he doesn't wear one on his off days.

The last time I took mine off was this morning when I put hand lotion on. I cannot stand putting lotion on when I'm wearing rings! I take mine off a lot, they come off when I do dishes, when I work in the yard and every night before bed. I made the mistake of wearing my engagement ring when I did yard work last year and I wore the finish off the bottom of it. I can't sleep with them on because my hair gets caught in the setting and ripped out! I try to remember to put them on whenever I leave the house but if it's a weekend and I'm running around between doing chores and errands it usually stays at home. Luckily I haven't got mad enough at him to leave it off on purpose but I am definitely not above doing that if I was angry enough!

I don't hardly take them off, the only time I'll take them off is like you when I'm messing with any kind of dough, or if I have to use my hands to mix something up like meatloaf or making hamburger patties, its gross to get that meat in your rings. I don't take them off when I get mad at my husband though. He does get onto me if I have them sitting by the sink he says thats a good way for them to fall down the drain..lol

When you say ring, do you mean wedding ring or engagement ring? Traditionally, where I come from the wedding ring is a plain band, the engagement ring is a diamond and some are lucky to have an eternity ring with stones around the band. A lot of ladies take the rings with stones off when doing heavy or messy work in case the stones get lost...getting them dirty is not a problem because they are easily cleaned. But the wedding band never comes off. It's a symbol you wear of your love and the vows you made to one another...to remove your ring was to break your vows of marriage.

I think standards and values have fallen by the wayside these days and wedding vows are meaningless. People lie and cheat to their spouse and think nothing of it as long as they don't get caught. In spite of the fact that you know your husband doesn't like it, you remove your ring when you fight, like a child throwing a tantrum or maybe as a warning or a threat...whatever your reason, and you DO have one even if you say you don't, to me that would mean you disrespect your vows or that your vows have ceased to have value.

If your husband wore a ring and he took his off...how would you feel?

Ha Ha! I think I have taken my ring off twice when my husband and I have gotten into a big fight. I was just so mad I didn't want to look down and see that band that was tied to the thing making me so angry. He got really mad both times when he realized I was not wearing it.

I think I have taken it off one or two other times just because it was irritating my skin. I am pregnant right now and my fingers are so swollen all the time. I don't think I could get it off if I tried right now. I hope the hubs doesn't piss me off! Haha!

Hi katsmeow...I constantly take my ring off - I take it off when I wash dishes, when I shower, when I go to sleep. I know there are some people who think that you should never take your ring off because you'll only lose it - but thankfully that hasn't happened to me yet. I've never taken it off out of anger though. I think that would hurt him more than anything and I just couldn't do that.

I don't normally take it off to do the dishes or bathe the kids, though I have taken off one of my rings (I wear both my engagement ring and wedding ring together) while I was working some years ago. As the job I had was a real messy one I only wore my wedding ring, as it is a simple gold band. I didn't want to chance loosing my engagement ring as it is a diamond solitaire. Not only that, but it's actually the ring I got married with so it has a lot of sentimental value to me.

I've also taken my rings off a couple of times when I was mad at my husband. I haven't done that in years. I did take it off last night to make a point though. My husband hasn't been wearing his ring for a few months now because his fingers have swelled up and his ring doesn't fit. Which wouldn't normally bother me, but he's started teasing me about the women coming on to him. So I took mine off to make a point. He didn't like it one bit. Big surprise!

I never wear my ring and so is my husband. I'd love to wear it but since my husband don't wear it, I don't too.
He doesn't want to see the soft scratches on his ring, while he have to do lots of messy works. Besides, our wedding rings have diamonds on it.
So, we decided to wear it on special occasions like parties, etc. Somewhere we don't do messy works.
