Do you always wear you engagment ring?

I am a teacher and one of the first things my now husband told me when he proposed that any time I didn't feel comfortable wearing my ring, especially at work, then DON'T. His concern was something happening to the ring. Him and I both know we love each other and are spending the rest of our lives together. Just because I don't wear my ring for a few hours, or whatever it may be, doesen't mean I'm breaking any promises I've made to him. I find myself taking my ring off a lot in the evenings/on the weekends. I never wear it when I'm cooking. Sometimes I take it off as soon as I get home and I'm getting into my pajamas. It just all depends.

I think it's very important to wear your engagement ring. It's a symbol, not only for you, but to the rest of the world that you're taken. To me, it's giving the impression that you're single if you don't wear it. I never took mine off, even when he gave me a ring I absolutely hated. I wore it anyway until he got me the one I wanted and I've pretty much never taken it off since we picked it up over a year ago and we've been married almost 5 months now.

I typically wear my engagement ring all day, but I will admit I don't sleep with it on or shower with it on. Whether I take it off or not, my fiancee knows that I am commited to him. He has always told me that if there is a time I don't want to wear my ring (because I feel it's safer not to, etc.) that I don't have to wear it. I am a teacher and he is always afraid that I will some how get it scratched up by one of my kiddos or get paint on it or something, lol. I do usually wear it though all day and all night until bed time. I just like the feeling of having it on my finger. Without it, I feel like I'm missing something! Which, technically - I am . haha

My fiance always check my hand if I wear my ring or not. He even calls me everytime he has time to check. He thinks I might lost it because of my forgetfulness which only occured when I was given gigantic antibiotics for my nose bleeding. That's why to make sure that I will not lose the ring I always wear it full time. But in cases I have to commute from work to home, I just turn the ring (the stones facing my palm) so that I could not attract attention. My engagement ring is quite eye catching they say.

I definitely do not wear my engagement ring. Before we were married, I got a couple rings from my hubby (though not hubby at the time, we've been together many, many years). Long story, but I lost the first ring he gave me . . . but I didn't care about that ring anyway - like I said, long story. Another ring he gave me had a stone in it . . . but after a couple years of wearing it 24/7, I discovered one night that the stone fell out of it. And of course at that point there was no sense trying to look for such a small stone - it could've fallen out anywhere. That one got me sad. I did wear my engagement ring for a while, but that fear of losing the stone got to me. And now with 2 little ones, I hardly wear any jewelry at all (I didn't want the stone prong to snag on something plus I didn't want the prong to accidentally scratch their skin). So now, I just wear the wedding band. It's just a straightforward band, so nothing to worry about. I guess it's as important as the person wearing the ring thinks so. The ring is a "symbol" and I don't consider myself to be so tied to material symbols . . . I know hubby and I happily married and that's all that counts.

I pretty much wear mine all the time, with only certain exceptions. One, when I'm doing something with water, such as dishes or taking a bath. The second is when my finger starts swelling, which it does occasionally, usually when I'm out in the sun and walking. Then I'll put it on my necklace so I don't lose it.

So far, i haven't forgot to put it on as i haven't really take it off my hands. I don't want to lost it that is why i never take it off. I am just afraid to lost it because sometimes i'm forgetful, so its better not to take it off my hand and besides i like to see it everyday because inspires me.

I don't take my wedding ring off. Why would you take it off? Sometimes my engagement ring comes off..but that is because I have to wear gloves at work and the setting causes holes in them.

Yes and no. Shortly after I got married I got a job working in a kennel. I didn't want to worry about getting my engagement ring all icky or possibly losing it so I'd make sure to take it off beforehand and not wear it to work. Once I quit the second kennel job that I had back in 96 I started wearing my engagement ring full time again. However, 16 years and 2 kids later it has gotten a little too small for my finger. So I'm not currently wearing it, or any ring for that matter. Though I am looking into getting something (maybe an anniversary ring?) as I feel a bit naked without a ring. LOL Happy mylotting!

mine's never been past my knuckle. I even feel weird about the idea of taking it off to put the wedding ring on. ultimately though, it's the promise that counts, not the symbol of the promise. all the same, the fact it's never left my finger is important to me symbolically.

I always keep my engagement ring on. Otherwise I feel naked without it, in a way. It doesn't feel right if I don't have it on. Besides, I love wearing it. I enjoy having it on, which is why I don't take it off.

I hardly take off my engagement ring, except when I'm going to bed. And that's because after washing my face and hands before going to bed, and putting on night cream, my finger becomes slippery, and I've almost lost it while sleeping. So I just take it off and put it in my jewelry box. But I never leave the house without it!

I keep mine on all the time. I actually almost lost it one time though because it was loose on my finger and luckily I found it in the washer.. so apparently I put it in my pants pocket. I know there are some jobs where you shouldn't wear it because its for your own safety, honestly your man spent money for you to wear it, so you should wear it as much as possible. Not everyone likes wearing rings or isn't much of a jewelry person but I love my ring so I never take it off.
