I don't even realize it's on; it, or its predecessor has been on my finger for 17 years, except for 2 minutes to have the first one cleaned at the jewelers, and a minute here and there for the jeweler to make it round again. I wore the first one out and my wife replaced it with a heavier, thicker band. That one has never been off.
 
i wore it on the wedding day and during the honeymoon. don't even know where it is now. already told her i wouldn't wear it before we got married. don't know why some people think it's such a big deal. i don't care if she wears it either, but i think girls like that kinda stuff. not sure.

plus i've seen too many pics of people getting their finger skinned to the bone from wearing rings and getting it caught on something. ouch.
 
I never wear rings or watches. I am really hard on my hands and tend to destroy anything like that. Fortunately, my wife is willing to wear enough jewelry for both of us.🙂
 
I don't wear a ring. Males in my family do not wear rings.

Although I am college educated, I come from a family of machinist and no males wear rings. They are a hazard as they are grabbed by rotating wheels when working on them.

Since I work with the public, I explain this to them when asked.

BTW, the jewelery thing, only a watch and a $150.00 pen.
 
My father doesn't wear his. He is a mechanic for Washington Metro and isn't allowed to wear one while at work. ...something about the 750 volt power sources with essentially unlimited current supply. They have had cases of people coming in contact with power sources and having it just melt the ring around their fingers. Dad only wears his when they're going out someplace nice where he has to dress up, etc...
 
I wear mine most of time but take it off to play sports. lift weights, or when I'm doing mechanical work, etc.

I don't really like wearing it but it is important to my wife...my dad doesn't wear his wedding ring ever.

I don't wear any other jewelry of any kind...not even a watch.
 
I don't wear mine because it's a hazard for work. I work with my hands all day and it would get in the way and could potentially cause me harm. My wife knows this so she understands.

She doesn't wear her ring either. She's afraid her rock might scratch my daughter. She has a big rock. 😉
 
At first my ring irritated my finger, so I'd take it off from time to time. Now it's almost always on.
 
I wear mine most of the time, but not if I'm working in the yard or in my shop. Too many blisters or other possible problems. :beer:
 
Another one here who doesn't like to wear jewelry. I wear it occasionally, but not often any more. The only thing I like about wearing it is that I have a toy to play with (top etc.), since it doesn't stay on during the day either.

And you've made no attempt whatsoever to replace it in the past decade? Homeowner's insurance? 😕

OK I may be coming to terms with those who don't wear them daily but still guard/treasure them... but do wedding rings really mean that little to people nowadays?
 
Happily married, but I don't wear my ring. It was a $50 silver ring that I could care less about. If my wife didn't wear hers, I wouldn't even notice.

Our relationship is bigger then jewelry.
 
Been married 9.5 years. Didn't wear it at first because I can't stand wearing jewelry. Wore it for about 6 years, but lost it last year while teaching my twin sons how to skip stones at the lake. It slid off my finger and went skipping along with the stone in deep muddy water 🙁. My wife and I both agree that gold has gone up too much to replace it now; we have more important things to spend money on with the fourth child on the way.
 
Going on 12 years married and I rarely wear my ring. Last time was the night we celebrated our 10th anniversary. Other than that, I might put it on once every other year or so for some seemingly special occasion. The wife wears hers more than I do, but not on a daily basis. She doesn't care whether I wear mine or not and I prefer not to wear any jewelry, watches, etc.
 
I don't usually wear mine while I'm on a computer. There's something that bothers me about the feeling of wearing a ring on just one finger while typing, it's like it throws my hands out of balance. Laugh if you want, but it just feels awkward to me. Having spent most of my career as a computer programmer, that meant I usually didn't wear my ring at work.

That and anybody who works around any type of machinery should avoid rings, if they intend on keeping their fingers.

Or at least have the skin ripped off the bone. I've seen some horrible "degloving" pictures. Horrible@
 
I wear mine like 90% of the time...but i've almost lost my finger a couple times from it. I wouldn't wear it at all, but the wife would be sad.
