Just curious... thanks for your time!

1) If you are married or in a committed relationship, do you wear a wedding ring? If you are not married, would you wear one if you got married?
Not married but would consider it though I am not a fan of jewelry and working with animals does not lend itself to it

2) If you are married, does your spouse wear a wedding ring?

3) Would you mind if your spouse quit wearing it?

4) Would your spouse care if you stopped wearing your wedding ring?

I am married. I do wear my wedding ring. It's not a traditional ring, it's an opal.

I didn't wear my wedding ring when I was working because I was a pet groomer and getting opals wet is a no no.

My husband wears his wedding band most of the time, he is a mechanic so he doesn't wear it at work.

I think it would bother me if he stopped wearing it, every time I see him wearing it, it reminds me of his love and commitment to me and it warms my heart.

We arent married yet we are engaged and i do wear my engagemnet ring everyday, i dont take it off. We have discussed what wedding rings we will get because I wear gold jewellery and Blaine wears silver

2) If you are married, does your spouse wear a wedding ring?
N/A atm

3) Would you mind if your spouse quit wearing it?
he wouldnt dare not wear it

4) Would your spouse care if you stopped wearing your wedding ring?
Yeah he would its a sign of commitment to one another

1) If you are married or in a committed relationship, do you wear a wedding ring? If you are not married, would you wear one if you got married?

I do! In fact, it's an heirloom that was passed to my mother, and then to me. If we have a daughter, I will offer her the band for her to get married with (and DH will have to get me a new one).

2) If you are married, does your spouse wear a wedding ring?

Yes he does.

3) Would you mind if your spouse quit wearing it?

Of course. It's a symbol of our love and the vows we made. If he stopped wearing it, I would question why. Then again, if he worked in a job where it would be dangerous for him to wear it during work, I would be OK with him not wearing it then, as long as he put it back on afterward (like my father does).

4) Would your spouse care if you stopped wearing your wedding ring?

Yes he would. I've only had to remove the ring once and I was actually pretty upset about it. I had to remove it to have a bone density test done, and since I'm right-handed, they needed to test my left hand.

1) If you are married or in a committed relationship, do you wear a wedding ring? If you are not married, would you wear one if you got married?

I'm married and do not wear a wedding ring. I don't wear any jewelry.

2) If you are married, does your spouse wear a wedding ring?

Yes, he does.

3) Would you mind if your spouse quit wearing it?

Nope

4) Would your spouse care if you stopped wearing your wedding ring?

Nope

We've been married for 18 years and don't have to prove our love to each other or others. He wears his because he likes to and I don't wear mine because I don't like to.

i would wear one [i actually have a wedding ring/engagement ring set that was my grandmother's that i plan to use if there's ever a need] & i would want my spouse to wear one. whether i would get angry if he removed it would depend on why.

I wear my wedding and engagement rings, but not usually around the house if I am cleaning or when I am sleeping. My diamond used to put holes in the bed sheets when I was sleeping, but I am not sure how that happened.

2) If you are married, does your spouse wear a wedding ring?
Yes

3) Would you mind if your spouse quit wearing it?
Yes.

4) Would your spouse care if you stopped wearing your wedding ring?
Probably.

We both wear rings. I don't particularly care and I don't think he'd notice if I didn't wear mine.

I only take my rings of in situations where the rings could slid off or get nasty (washing hair/pets, handling dough, cleaning with bleach since bleach on silver is a bad idea). He takes his off at work because he's not allowed to wear anything like that on the floor and he takes it off when washing his hands/showering.

DH never wears jewelry, so he told me up front before I bought his wedding ring that he would probably only wear it at the wedding (he's been true to his word, almost 6 years later!). It never bothered me. I keep it in the safe deposit box.

As much as I love jewelry, I seldom wear either my engagement or wedding rings. With 9 cats, I'm always cleaning up messes, litter boxes, etc., hence I wash my hands a LOT. A ring only gets in the way. I can't wear my engagement ring, anyway. Two years ago, I had to cut the ring off my finger. When I had it sized, the clerk insisted the measured size was correct; I thought it best to have the ring on the large side. I was right. My one joint has become larger (I think through use--tools, etc.). The part where the ring goes is the same size, though. One day, when DH was away for the weekend, I put it on. When I went to remove it that night, it was STUCK. NOTHING helped--not even Windex (which always did). I can't sleep with rings on--my fingers swell. 2 1/2 hours later, at 2:30 AM, I decided to cut the band. No way was I going to the ER in a blizzard, and I couldn't sleep with it on--which would mean a certain trip to the ER during the next few hours.

I don't need a ring to tell me I'm married. To DH & I, it's only an object. Anyway, as I always joke, I know I MUST be married--there's a lot of extra laundry to wash every week!

Exactly this for me as well. My ring is an heirloom, but from DH's side.

1) If you are married or in a committed relationship, do you wear a wedding ring? If you are not married, would you wear one if you got married?
I don't wear my ring. I found out the hard way that my body does not like me wearing jewelry daily, no matter the quality of gold.

It's 24K gold with a .75K marquis center stone & smaller stones coming off it in a swirl. Gorgeous. Too bad I can only wear it on special occasions.

2) If you are married, does your spouse wear a wedding ring?
Not anymore. He had a nice band with about .75K of round cut stones in it. He always put it in the same place - inside his watch band behind the keyboard of his computer. One day he lost it. It just wasn't there. We figured a kitty was playing with it and bapped it behind the desk or something...but when we cleaned out the room completely when we moved and it wasn't there... We rarely had maintenance people there when we weren't, but it would have only taken a second to pocket the ring.

That's the only thing that makes sense.

3) Would you mind if your spouse quit wearing it?
Obviously not.

We want to replace it, but haven't done it yet so it must not be that important to either of us.

4) Would your spouse care if you stopped wearing your wedding ring?
Obviously not.

I think we both wish I could, but you can't do anything about body chemistry.

I am married for 31 years, my rings don't fit me anymore


Dh can't wear his ring at work, He is a mechanic.
It doesn't bother either of us that we don't wear our rings.

When I was married I rarely wore my ring, and if I ever married again it would likely be the same. I don't like wearing jewellery and a wedding ring is no exception.

My ex husband wore his ring most of the time, but I wouldn't have cared if he didn't. He never bothered me about mine either.

Dana and I are not married but we have both exchanged "I love you." rings to symbolize our love and commitment to each other. They are worn all the time except to shower and do dishes and oh yes, he always lets me know if I forget to put it back on.

1) If you are married or in a committed relationship, do you wear a wedding ring?
Yes

2) If you are married, does your spouse wear a wedding ring?
Yes.

3) Would you mind if your spouse quit wearing it?
My husband has arthritis which swells and shrinks his hands. He is worried that it will fall off somedays so somedays I wear his for him. But it would bother me if he didn't want to wear it, but he does want to wear it.

4) Would your spouse care if you stopped wearing your wedding ring?

I actually HAD to stop wearing my wedding ring for a while. It got stuck on my finger and made my finger swell up so I had to get a new one. He said, "Why do you need a new one? People know we're married!" But then now he's happy I wear one. So I'm not so sure. LOL

1) If you are married or in a committed relationship, do you wear a wedding ring? If you are not married, would you wear one if you got married? I wear two - my own on my left ring finger, and my mom's or my grandmother's on my right.


2) If you are married, does your spouse wear a wedding ring? He had to have his cut off a few years ago, and never got it repaired.

3) Would you mind if your spouse quit wearing it? No. Since he's always messing around with tools, it's probably safer to leave it off.

4) Would your spouse care if you stopped wearing your wedding ring? No. There have been times when I've left it off for days or weeks for various reasons (injury, allergy), and he didn't care one way or the other.

Hope you don't mind if I share a story here, it's sort of on topic.

A few years ago I developed a terrible crush on this man. He wasn't anything special to look at, but the chemistry hit me in the face every time I saw him. I'm not much for the flirting so I pined from afar for a long time.

During the summer (I worked in education then) since I wasn't seeing him every day I felt braver, and finally found a way to meet up with him casually and asked him if he was married (he did not wear a ring)

I was a different kind of crushed when he told me he is. That did break the ice a little though, so when the school year started we did talk now and then. One day his wife showed up as were were chatting. The next day he showed up with his wedding ring on, and for the remaining years I knew him, that ring was always on

DH and I will be celebrating 40 years of marriage in 2011. Because we both worked in manufacturing plants (and DH still does), we couldn't wear jewelry of any kind. I had to wear my hair in a pony tail and keep it away from my face....we couldn't even wear watches. It was simply too dangerous.

Many, many years ago (back in the 70s), I put a drill bit through my ring finger. The bit went between my engagement ring and my wedding band; I was able to get the rings off before the finger started to swell, but both rings are rather oblong-shaped now. To this day, there's a lump on that finger and it's difficult to put any kind of ring on and have it fit properly.

So we don't wear our rings. And it doesn't bother us at all. I don't need to wear a ring to show my committent and love for my husband. Nor does he. And I don't expect him to do so. We're there....and that's what's important.

I am married, and I wear my engagement and wedding rings daily, except when I shower or do dishes.

My husband does not always wear his wedding ring. He has high blood pressure, and his hands swell a lot, so he takes it off often.

YES I mind... it makes me sad. I know it doesn't mean anything, he is still committed to his relationship, and I know he isn't trying to go out and pretend he is single or anything, i just would like him to wear it as a symbol of our marriage.

I dont think he would care if I stopped wearing mine. We know we are married and committed to each other, ring or no ring.
