Men With Wedding Rings

[jake-the-peg]

Seems a surprising long sequence of PMs don't wear a wedding ring

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-25320428

I never have and I know my father never did so it doesn't seem that odd to me but I get the feeling I may be in the minority these days ( seems like a convention that started around WWII )

Do you or does your husband?

How would you feel about your husband/wife not wearing one?

[China Doll]

I'm not married but if I was then I would wear a wedding ring, I like the idea of it very much. I would like if it I was married if my husband wore a wedding ring too in an ideal world but I think a lot of men are just not keen and don't wear any jewellery.

I only wear my wedding and engagement rings when I'm going out, I don't want to damage them pottering around the house or farm.

Mr P has never had a wedding ring. He wouldn't wear one so there was no point in getting one in the first place.

I have no problem with him not wearing one, it's personal choice.

If a married person wants to cheat, a band round their finger won't stop them.

Yes, Mr Boo wears one, in fact we have matching ones. It never entered our heads when getting married for him not to.

[giveup]

We both have them (matching ones,he bought mine and I bought his) and I also wear my engagement ring all the time.

// Do you or does your husband? //

I don't wear one, simply because I can't stand the feeling of anything on my hands. I've never worn a watch for the same reason.

// How would you feel about your husband/wife not wearing one? //

I wouldn't mind.

cuffs & chains work best ;)

ludwig, now I am retired, i never wear a watch and have put my wedding ring away (now widowed) Like you I am not keen on wearing things on my hands, i do wear rings and bracelets but take them off as soon as I get home!

[LazyGun]

I don't wear mine, in part because of a habit grown out of health and safety considerations at work, but also because I do not like wearing any kind of jewellry or accessory. Not all that keen on wearing a watch, come to that.

And I have been married on several occasions now, so just think of potential for comedic confusion/outraged other half if I was to wear the wrong one ;) Mind, some of them are unlikely to fit now...

My wedding ring caused an irritation on my finger so I only wore it occasionally. Because of this irritation I usually wore my engagement ring on its own & later on in my marriage I wore my eternity ring on its own as they were both lovely rings. I never wore any of the rings together. My husband had a wedding ring but gave up wearing it because I did not wear mine.
My marriage is now over and the wedding rings were melted down and made into a pendant relevant to my children that my daughter wears.

My ex husband refused to have a wedding ring, said he hated jewellery and no-one would ever get him to wear one. He is now remarried and guess what? Yes he has a ring, how do you think that makes me feel?

[jamesnan]

Both my husband and I wear wedding rings, I have never taken mine off in almost 52 years. I also wear my mum's narrow wedding ring, which I had after she died, my diamond engagement ring, and a ruby wishbone shaped eternity ring. I would be devastated if I had to take them off and not wear them again.
My cousin never wears a wedding ring, only borrowed one to get married with, so both sides of the coin.
I am proud of being married for so long, and feel very happy to display that fact.

[askyourgran]

Mr Ask never had a wedding ring. Neither did my dad or F in law.

[Baldric]

It's the only bit of jewellery I do wear, made to order and matches OH's.

[Zacs-Master]

Ditto Sqads first answer.

[sacha.86]

From what I know the wearing of a wedding ring is from a pagen custom.
Aperently a vain runs from the ring finger to the heart. The ring was placed on the ring finger with the beliefe that it would keep the couple connected and that if it was taken off the marriage would fall apart - hence people getting stressed every time they saw their partner without their ring on.

[Maydup]

My father always wore his wedding ring, never took it off. Same for my husband and I, we never take ours off for any reason.
