I quit wearing mine for safety reasons long ago. However, I have been in a career shift recently and told my wife I want my ring resized and the damaged diamonds replaced as a Christmas gift.

No, don't wear it.
I think its in my desk here,somewhere.

The only time I take it off is when I'm making hamburger patties.

Why are you asking us? Didn't you TELL your wife what her opinion is?

Who's in charge over there?

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:45:34 PM EDT

[#6]

Most of the time. I don't wear it to bed, shower or to work on cars or metal work. Also I would take it off when I was stationed on an aircraft carrier and out to sea.

I wear mine unless I'm doing something that risks damage to the ring or injury to my finger. I also take off any jewelry when I go hunting-maybe it's overkill but I don't want any more shiny metal on or near me than necessary.

no, don't like to wear jewelry

no, safety reasons

sometimes

I did wear it for a few years, even though I don't like to wear jewelry, and I also do not like to wear it for safety reasons and for that same reason I often would have to take it off at work.

Only when I go out with the Mrs.

I don't wear one while working my joibs. Almost pulled my finger off once.

It's your aftershave.

Nobody wanted to tell you. I got the short straw. Sorry man.

But seriously, a wedding ring can be used appropriately in a wide variety of social situations.

Cops call me SIR now!

I'd rather loose my finger than take off this ring.

(I do not work heavy equip; that would be TOTALY different)

Posted: 9/13/2010 8:22:53 PM EDT

[#13]

Yes. I absolutely hated the thing at first, as it was the first piece of jewelry I'd ever worn. Now, its grown on me to the point I don't know its there.

Posted: 9/13/2010 8:23:12 PM EDT

[#14]

Not a wedding ring but when I was engaged I wore it all the time unless I did something that might damage it. Yes, I had a mangagment ring, got a problem with that?

Posted: 9/13/2010 8:24:38 PM EDT

[#15]

I'm all three "No" choices. I didn't wear it at work, because I work with machinery, I would put it on on the weekends. One day I was dressing a deer and forgot to take it off, it was all bloody and crusting up so I put it in my vest pocket. I don't know where it is now.

Posted: 9/13/2010 8:25:51 PM EDT

[#16]

Yup. I take it off at home. It was my grandfather's wedding ring

[#17]

I wear a cock ring. Does that count?

Pics anyone?

Posted: 9/13/2010 8:46:16 PM EDT

[#18]

Yes

I only take it off when I clean my guns or putting my hands inside a computer.

Posted: 9/13/2010 8:46:28 PM EDT

[#19]

No option for "I got 99 problems but a bitch wife ain't one".

If/when it comes to that I plan to wear it 24/7/365. My Fightin' Texas Aggie class ring never leaves my right hand except for airport security and the motocross track.

Gold conducts so no, out for dinner with the wife or something yeah.

Posted: 9/13/2010 8:51:44 PM EDT

[#22]

Almost always.

I beat up a couple pretty bad and now have a tungsten carbide beast.

It looks like the day I got it over a year later.

I do take it off to mix hamburger meat.

I had surgery on my left hand about a year ago....ring has not fit since.

Posted: 9/13/2010 9:00:55 PM EDT

[#24]

nope I do machining.. and like to keep my fingers..

Posted: 9/13/2010 9:01:48 PM EDT

[#25]

When I was married I wore it 24/7. SO I voted yes.

Posted: 9/13/2010 9:03:25 PM EDT

[#26]

Yes.
In the Trades it is dangerous to wear rings. One can loose a finger if the ring snags on something. I've seen plenty of guys missing a finger.
My marriage and everything else that ring signifies is worth more than a finger.

Posted: 9/13/2010 9:05:15 PM EDT

[#27]

no, no jewelry for me. Maybe on special occasions.

Posted: 9/13/2010 9:09:45 PM EDT

[#28]

Voted safety reasons and don't wear jewelry. Would my wife like me to? Yes. Another thing is my knuckles are quite a bit bigger than where the ring sits, so if I ever do want to take it off, I have a fight on my hand. I don't even know where it is anymore. I guarantee my wife does though.

I stopped wearing mine because someone here posted a thread about ring degloving. Wouldn't you know it a few weeks later I got hung up on a fence checking a buildings perimeter on an alarm call. After clearing the building and bleeding all over I went to the hospital. I required 7 stitches but thanks to Arfcom I still have my finger!

Posted: 9/13/2010 9:30:04 PM EDT

I did when I was married. Divorced, not so much, but then again, I've never like wearing rings.

Always, every day. Made a groove in my finger over the years. It's an 8mm titanium. Large ring.

Wouldn't have any fingers left or possibly hands/arms if i wore wedding ring.

Wife really bitches about it but i have showed her what can happen then she gets all lovey dovey.

Posted: 9/13/2010 9:42:04 PM EDT

[#33]

Yes, I do not work with machinery, so my risk of that type of injury is low.

The only jewelry I wear is a watch, wedding band, and my college ring.

Posted: 9/13/2010 9:47:51 PM EDT

[#34]

Dad does not wear his either.

He ended up getting burnt really bad working near a battery when the wrench touched the positive terminal.

Posted: 9/13/2010 9:49:43 PM EDT

[#35]

No, I worked on machinery up until a couple of years ago. I wore it a couple of times since I got my desk job but I don't care for jewelry..

Posted: 9/13/2010 9:49:49 PM EDT

[#36]

Yes, unless working on the cars.

I did upgrade to a titanium wedding band a few years back.

Posted: 9/13/2010 9:51:40 PM EDT

Not married, but voted no due to shock hazard at work

Posted: 9/13/2010 9:52:12 PM EDT

I'm single.

Of course I wear a wedding ring (when out)

Posted: 9/13/2010 10:03:16 PM EDT

[#39]

I can't take mine off anymore. I hated the feel of a ring. Always bugged me. Plus I lost 3 because I'd take it off and forget I took it off. So now I have it tattooed. So it doesn't bother me or the missus.

Posted: 9/13/2010 10:05:37 PM EDT

I wear mine almost always. I take it off when I sleep, Cook or work on cars.

I was in a rush once leaving a hotel got 40 miles down the road before Iremembered! 80 extra miles on that day.

Sunday I went with out it. I ran to the grocery store for a few items. got hit on by the cashier, didn't think about it till I got home and started cooking!

Yes, I cook Sunday nights for my family.

Posted: 9/13/2010 10:05:55 PM EDT

[#41]

No. I absolutely hate wearing any kind of ring.

Posted: 9/13/2010 10:16:13 PM EDT

[#42]

All day, every day, unless I've got good reason to remove it (generally, if I have to go out to the flight line, no jewelry allowed out there).

Posted: 9/13/2010 10:36:39 PM EDT

[#43]

I used to work in an electrically hazardous environment and there was a constant chance of getting my ring caught on fittings and hardware so I'd take it off when I got to work and put it on after work.

Now, it's on 24/7. I love this ring and all that it symbolizes. I'm proud to wear it and I'm proud to hold my wife's hand wearing the ring. Of course, she has a matched ring.

Posted: 9/13/2010 10:40:27 PM EDT

[#44]

I used to work as a mechanic so I didn't wear it at work and I got in the habit of not wearing it. Now I am sad to say that it does not fit me anymore and I am too lazy to get it re-sized.

But, as my wife likes to say, I know who I belong to.

Commercial jet mech by trade. Seen a few fingers skinned by wearing a ring. I don't wear mine while working.

Posted: 9/14/2010 2:27:05 AM EDT

Had to have mine cut off so I got a tatoo of my wifes name on my ring finger and wear the repaired ring around my neck

Posted: 9/14/2010 2:35:29 AM EDT

[#47]

I wore it 24/7, until I started collecting a paycheck turning wrenches and my hand got caught in a warm engine because of the ring. I quit wearing a watch about the same time.
