My ring is on my key ring. I don't care who's looking. I'm not straying.

we don't wear ours either. rings bug the shit out of me and i can't wear them at work anyway. Mona is allergic to metal jewelry so she doesn't either. I trust her, she trusts me. That is all that matters.

I've been happily married 7 years;
I don't wear a ring most of the time at work, and yes, it has caused some awkward moments here and there. Nothing a gentle response and friendly wink couldn't fix, though. :) It is nice to occasionally get a hit that way, I must admit. However, it's a line that will never be crossed. In social settings and on administrative-only days, I will wear my ring. My reasons? My ring fits correctly, but I find it affects my typing, and where I work I run a marathon on the keyboard everyday. Also, I really don't like reaching into computers with a nice conductor made of gold, as I occasionally work on hardware that has hotswappable components that must be hotswapped. My wife refuses to let me wear my ring on a necklace or my namebadge lanyard. :) |

My husband does not wear a wedding ring for the fact that he fixes computers for a living. I don't wear one most of the time,since I have incidents where it almost took my finger off. I do wear one in social situations,I have been married 20 years and it does not bother either one of us,and neither would stray.

I tried to wear one all the time for the wife -- it pleasured her
I can't stand it , I smashed it down on my finger - had to get it rounded out again. I caught it on a shopping cart handle as I gave it a mighty heave into the return slot, and bruised my finger bad. During various times in my life when working with my hands -- they will swell slightly and the ring was tight -- uncomfortable finally wife said "she understood" haven't had it on in years --------- but still have it. |

I would wear my wedding band, but I've gained some weight, and it fits too tight on my finger.

Wife wears hers, I don't wear mine except if we are going out to dinner or something like that. Can't work with it on, not worth losing a finger over and I have friends who have.

Same here, working aviation for 20 years, no rings or watches. But I just started wearing my ring again recently. If you look for a ring on my wifes left hand you won't find one either. That's because it's on her right hand! She's German and over there in Europe they wear their wedding rings on the right hand! |

I almost lost my finger because of a wedding band injury. A little bit of conective tissue saved it from falling off. I will never wear one again because of that, not to mention they are uncomfortable.

Ever work around electric powered items with a ring? It can hurt. Been married over 30 years and have not worn the ring since my wedding day. If my wife cares she has gotten over it. It resides in my safety deposit box (with her engagement ring) and she can send me to my maker with it.
The only jewerly I ever wore daily was dog tags. Still got them, have not worn them since March 26, 1970. Yeah, I also wear cheap digital watches with countdown features for sailboat racing (the starts require perfect timing). |

My dear wife plenty of prettys for her fingers & I don't need a ring to remind me I'm hopelessly helplessly happily married to a wonderful lady (quote shamelessly stolen from M*A*S*H*) |

Bingo! Same here. Thought I'm not married, so I don't "have" to wear one anyway. If I were though, I probably wouldn't wear it. i'm not a jewelry person. Necklaces, rings, watches, etc. It all bugs the shit out of me. |

Some of our client facilities expressly prohibit the wearing of any jewelry because of safety reasons. Recently while working at Certainteed in Kansas City, KS I had to have the nurse yank my ring off. Its easier most of the time not to wear it since being a contractor you have to follow the plant's rules first. Many facilities I work at have gone to jewelry bans because some idiot stuck his hand in a machine, got the ring caught, and lost his finger.
I've got fat joints on my fingers so getting the ring on and off is a big pain. I usually keep it on my key ring or somewhere else on my person. Same with my watch which is also a no-no to wear in some plants. |

I guess for me the "it's uncomfortable" excuse is kind of lame. You can't be uncomfortable for a week or two while you get used to it?
I don't wear a watch or any other jewelry either, but if I was married you can bet your bippy that I'd be wearing the ring and so would she. |

My wife's brother doesn't wear his, because he works with horses all day, everyday. Not a good situation for any type of jewelry.
I work with my hands, and tools, alot. Not a good situation for rings or jewelry. Plus, evryday I work with firearms....don't need any extra dings there. That being said, I DO wear mine everyday. It's just sometime sa big PITA. |

Why on earth would someone get married and not wear a wedding ring? If you work somewhere dangerous & take it off rather than lose a finger that's one thing, but when out sitting at a bar you had sure better get a ring on that finger. Who put you in charge?? Husband dosen't even have a ring, he claims they are "gay", and my 3 yr old son demanded I remove mine about a year ago because when he sneak attacks me, he usually gets scratched. Haven't worn it since. I had to remove all my jewelry for him, yet I trudge forward. |

I have a stub for a ring finger on my left hand. It's called tissue evulsion and involves the stripping of the skin from the bone. Wedding band got caught on some metal shelving when I was falling I grabbed for support. The ring got caught and stripped the skin from the bone. Plastic surgeon who saved what was left said it is a common injury and occures often from garage door handles. Wedding band nice reminder of vows but can't count to a full ten, just 9 and 1/3rd!

I don't wear mine. There are plenty of stories like Voodoo's...a local cop fell out of a tree stand last year and snagged his ring on a branch on the way down...TORE HIS FINGER COMPLETELY OFF. I hate rings anyway, so.... it's unsafe, and uncomfortable. Fuck it. My wife doesn't care. She wears hers... |

Why does someone have to wear a wedding band because it annoys you while you're out on the prowl? Don't like it? Go for the really ugly chicks, they're usually single.
