The wedding ring dispute!!!!

I myself do wear mine 24/7. On the other hand, I can see your point. As with a marriage license, it is a mear technicality. If you yourself and your husband know that you are married, isn't that all that matters?? Sure it is nice to let others know, but in most cases does that really stop another man from hitting on you?? No, he just figures it as a challange. Wearing the ring has no bearing on weather or not you cheat.

My husband searched high and low for my wedding rings, so I truly appreciate them however, I can not sleep with them and have to take them off. I keep them by the bed so I can put them on as soon as I wake up. My fingers have been swelling so badly lately that I can't wear them right now. I actually feel naked when I go out and do not have them on. It's like I've forgotten something. My husband doesn't get mad, he just asks where they are.

This is a hard one. I understand your point. However...the ring is a symbol that you are taken. I am sure your husband just wants other guys to know you are off limits...and that is why he is upset. I would take it as a compliment. He must really love you. I would just humour him and try to remember to put your rings back on the next morning. You should be proud to be married...and wear those rings with love and pride...

I have been married for 10 1/2 years, and neither me or my husband wear our rings now.....I dont wear mine because I lost a lot of weight and it falls right off, he because he gained a lot of weight and it doesn't fit. We haven't been financially able to replace the rings with the correct sizes yet either. This does make my husband mad.....before his got to small and mine too big!, he got mad because mine broke straight in half and he had to get me a new one.....he you are never supposed to take those off....he believes it breaks the unity between a man and a wife....this is his opinion, but I dont think so, I think it matters how you yourself honor your marriage. I think that wheter you wear a ring or not.....infidelity can and will happen reguardless, so the ring doesn't prevent it....it's a symbol of your love to someone else.....and even that tiny ring cant stop some heartless vixens who care nothing less about marriage and will do whatever it takes to ruin it!! I have both the rings together on a gold chain, with a charm between them, and I still never wear that.....I guess as far as Im concernced everyone who knows me, knows who I'm married to and knows that I love him....so wearing a ring doesnt really matter...

me and my husband don't take off our wedding rings because to us it is a sign of our love and our commitment to each other and by wearing our rings it shows that we are faithful to that.i know alot of married people who do not wear their rings i do not think it is right not to wear them but that is my opion.

I only wear my wedding band unless we're going out, then my diamond and emerald engagement ring comes out of the jewel case. My mother taught me this, because she lost her diamond engagement ring when down the sink it went while she was washing dishes only was married 6 months. I dont want to lose mine due to my fingers shrinking while in warm water either.

I was married to my late husband for 23 years and even though he is gone, after 3 years I still wear my wedding ring I don't wear it on my ring finger but I do wear it all the time. I will always wear it because he will always be a part of me.

Know we don't wear our rings. My husband can't because of the job he has so he carries it on his key ring. I can't because they are to small right now. I gained to much weight but as soon as I lose somemore I will probably start wearing them again.

For a number of years I was unable to wear my rings. I've had the bones removed from a number of my fingers and silastic put in to replace them. Before having the surgery on my ring finger I could not bear wearing my rings, especially not in the cooler weather, when they would twist. After surgery wasn't much better, until I met someone who had similar trouble and she gave me some advice. I had my two rings welded together to form one ring and can now wear them most of the time with relative comfort. Because I still have problems with my fingers, I don't wear my rings in the house, but they have become part of my "getting dressed" to go out.

well yeah..i wear coz its a sign also of your love and committment that you made to your husband/wife during your /our wedding ceremony...if you wont wear it..it may means you that your available and seeking one wedding ring serves as a symbol...

I don't have a wedding ring but somehow I could relate to this discussion. I do have some sort of engagement ring that my boyfriend gave me, a bond, something like that, I wear it everyday and I simply get used to wearing it and it doesn't bother me at all.

Hi Sunshinecup, I have been married to the same man for over 46yrs. I never take my rings off. I have worn out two sets and am on the 3rd. one. My rings are a great pleasure as the one now is quite expensive. The ring is a symbol of love and commitment. It just shows that you care about the person you married. Annette

I cannot wear my wedding rings at night because I get an allergic reaction to the metals in them. I wear them all the time during the day, but take them off at night and I don't have a problem. For me, I think they should be worn whenever possible, but I don't think it's a problem if you don't, unless there are are issues/questions of fidelity or other issues like that. Basically I think it's a personal preference.

I do... it's a symbol... it signifies so many things. I love looking at my fingure and knowing it was givin to me with complete love and commitment. I go crazy when I don't where mine. My husband is an electrician so he can't ware his to work... cause it's a great cunductor for electricity! But every Friday... it's back on his finger. And I love seeing him ware it!

I never take my wedding ring off I don't want as I love being married. I don't always wear my engagement or eternity rings for fear of damage to them outdoors, or sometimes thy catch on things.

I do wear my wedding rings everyday. I stopped wearing my engagement ring after I scratched my eye really bad at night. I woke up and couldnt open my eye. I also had many nights where I would wake up with cuts along my face and my body from the diamond setting. I decided that I wouldnt wear it anymore. I do occationally wear it but I do take it off at night. Now my wedding band I dont take off. We bought a beautiful set that has diamonds in the band.

I wear my rings when I go out in public. I take them off when I am in the house. I don't need a ring to show that I am married.

I wear my wedding ring during the day and take it off at night. I presonally prefer not to wear any jewellery while sleeping, it's comfortable that way. My hubby on the other hand rarely removes his ring and when he does he forgets to put it on the next morning..hehe! It's been only a year and two months since we got married, in the beginning I was very particular that he wore it at all times and I did too. But now things have changed and I don't mind. But I want him to wear it every day though, which he does, only for me:)

You might tell your husband that you don't like feeling branded like a head of cattle....lol. I wear rings all the time, none of them have been wedding rings and I am married. I feel that its no one's business what my marital sttus is unless I choose to tell them. Its a way of dealing with your privacy. YOu could try telling your husband that you think it has a negative affect on your dealings with merchants or in business because it weakens your negotiating power...which can, and often does, happen. Those are my ideas...the very first one was a joke, of course!

In this case it can vary, it depends on your religious beliefs and or relationship with your husband. I recently got engaged and I wear it all day long and take it off before going to bed, I put it next to my watch so I wont forget to slip it on especially if I wake up late. Being married we are there for our spouse at all times. I see it like this if the hubby doesnt like the fact that your not wearing it what your suppose to do is try harder. Wear the ring for 3 weeks straight without taking it off, at the end you might notice that you forgot it was even there. Cherish your ring it was given to you because your husband thinks the world of you.
