I can't stand having a ring on my finger, it's always pinching my finger and pressing against the bones on the fingers next to the ring. It's really annoying. I've tried to convince my wife of this but she doesn't care if it hurts me. She gets pissed when I don't wear the ring.

I never have.

Posted: 8/15/2007 5:26:59 PM EDT

[#2]

I rarely do. Mostly because of the work I do.

I dont wear mine, wife doesnt wear hers. were just not ring people.

I did for 2 days then gave it up. I hate all jewelry.

I'm not married, but my buddy doesn't wear his because it creates a hazard (he really doesn't want his finger torn off)at his job. He does wear it on a necklace, though.

I don't wear mine. Not even sure where it is.

Nope-job related.

I was a Diemaker, and now a Pipefitter. Back when I was an apprentice, they showed us horrific films of what happens to a hand wearing a ring when it gets caught in moving machinery,or when it gets caught as you jump down from somewhere.

. So no, I don't wear one. Never have.

I haven't worn mine in 15 of our 22 years together.

My wife wears mine on her thumb

Same here. Just doesn't fir us. We had rings when we got married but did not wear it much. Now not at all. Just sits in her jewelery box.

[#12]

I don't, because for some reason my finger got fat. I need to get it resized.

Posted: 8/15/2007 5:33:51 PM EDT

[#13]

My father never has. I never will get married, so I don't have to worry about it!

Posted: 8/15/2007 5:34:53 PM EDT

[#14]

I own one, but I don't wear it.

Posted: 8/15/2007 5:35:01 PM EDT

Just when I go out on dates

p.s. I'm kidding, I'm not even married

Married 13 years, never wear mine except when we go out to dinner or to social functions. Job related reasons mainly. I suspect if I was a desk jockey, I'd wear it.

Posted: 8/15/2007 5:35:36 PM EDT

[#17]

I do, 24/7.

Posted: 8/15/2007 5:36:44 PM EDT

[#18]

I never wear mine, in fact I don't even know where it is.

I hate rings, watches, and anything of that type.

Posted: 8/15/2007 5:37:40 PM EDT

[#19]

I hate wearing rings. Been married 10 years, probably had the ring on my finger a total of 5 minutes.

Posted: 8/15/2007 5:39:49 PM EDT

[#20]

I can't stand rings...

Posted: 8/15/2007 5:40:03 PM EDT

[#21]

Getting married in October, and I don't intend to. It's a good way to get zapped or lose a finger in my line of work.

Posted: 8/15/2007 5:40:16 PM EDT

havent worn my ring for almost 13 years now, same reasons as you, also my job doesnt allow it.

Machinist here hence no ring

My grandpa wore his for a while (we live on a farm)
he shorted it across the poles on a starter while working on a pickup. it got pretty damn hot and his finger was so swollen, we had to cut it off. similar thing happened to my dad. My mom smashed hers in a door, had to cut it off too.
I'm not married yet, and I don't plan on wearing one.

Nope.
Not comfortable and also a hazard at work.
Wife wears hers.

Posted: 8/15/2007 5:48:47 PM EDT

[#28]

Nope. Don't want my girlfriend to know I'm married.

Bad practice around high voltage,but the wifey wears hers.

No jewelry for the kid in 27yr's of marriage.

35yr's in industry with 18 of those on USAF flightlines and still a member of "The 10 Finger Club"...

neither my wife nor I wear rings

(I don't wear any jewelry, for that matter)

Ditto....

I work around electronic & plenty of exposed power terminals.

My wife is okay with it. I don't need a ring to remind me I married a wonderful woman.

[#33]

I don't wear mine either. Out of the 20 years we have been married, I have probably worn it a total of 1 year. I just do not like jewelry. I wear a watch and that is it.
Good Luck with the wife.

That would be us also. Didn't do the big wedding thing. Didn't spend a ton of money on the honeymoon. Since all our "friends" and family were taking bets that we wouldn't last six months, we didn't think a party for them was appropriate. Our 6th anniversary was Monday.

Posted: 8/15/2007 5:55:03 PM EDT

I never take mine off.

Not married, but I get to tell the wedding ring horror stories I know.

The Principle at my Alma Mater was playing B-ball after school with some other teaches, went for a slam dunk his ring snagged on one of the net hooks and ripped his finger off. He no longer wears his ring on his finger.

A guy I know a bit was working on his golf cart and he got his hand in the wrong spot and the battery arced and burnt his ring finger. He no longer wears his ring on his finger, but he does have a ring shaped scar.

My wife does, but I don't do to occupation. Been that way for the last 29 years.

I lost mine in the dirt while brushing off my back after changing a starter in my Chevy. My Dad poured concrete in the spot where I lost it before I could get back over there and find it. Haven't wore one since!

I wear mine if we're out on a date or special event, otherwise it's too dang uncomfortable. My wife doesn't complain about it much, especially after seeing the pic of the guy that got degloved!

Posted: 8/15/2007 5:59:34 PM EDT

[#40]

I'm not married (yet), but I already made it clear I don't intend to wear mine 95% of the time. I'm a Tool/Diemaker, and I would like to keep the skin and muscle tissue on all my fingers.

Posted: 8/15/2007 5:59:41 PM EDT

[#41]

I didn't for quite a while, but it means a lot to my wife... so, I do.

Im a welder, No I do not wear one.

i'm not married but my dad i don't think was ever worn one and he and my mom have been married 27 year i'm pretty sure he doesn't ever have one any more but with the work we do no way could he were one

Posted: 8/15/2007 6:10:57 PM EDT

[#44]

Married 14 years, haven't worn it since we got home from the honeymoon. My parents have been married 43 years and my dad's never worn his either.

I would post this pic, but I guess I'll just post the link to avoid offending any delicate sensibilities:

I never do/have--for the reasons you cite. My wife knows I know I'm married. I don't even have a wedding ring from her. NOT an issue.

Posted: 8/15/2007 6:48:24 PM EDT

[#46]

Nope, don't wear it. I feel like my skin gets all sweaty and gross under it. I don't wear a watch, either.

Posted: 8/15/2007 6:49:17 PM EDT

[#47]

Only when we get dressed up to go out.

Posted: 8/15/2007 6:54:00 PM EDT

[#48]

Wore it for about a year - but I was constantly taking it off when I worked out, did yard work, worked on the car, etc, etc. I just took it off and left it off for good. Just take it off, she'll get over it.

Posted: 8/15/2007 6:55:24 PM EDT

Only wear it about 20% of the time and can't stand it when I do. I have noticed lately ALOT of married people I know (men &women) don't wear them. Are wedding rings out of fashion?

Work doesn't allow it.
