My husband has never wore his wedding ring and I always have. Sometimes I feel like he is embarrassed to wear it, and we have been married 4 years and this still bothers me. He claims it's because he does not like to wear jewelry, I think otherwise, and it really hurts me deep inside. What do you think the reason is, and before you say talk to him we have argued and talked our brains out about this and he still won't wear it

Okay not to sure about him not been faithful that hasn't crossed my mind, however my thing is if there was a problem with him wearing the wedding ring why go with me to pick it out and make me spend 800.00 bucks buying the dam thing, just to say I don't like jewelry, and for the ladies claiming they wouldn't care or it's not a big deal yeah right because I am pretty sure that if your spouse never wanted to wear his band a huge ? would pop up in your heads, so please stop fronting

I can understand if your husband has a job that might get his finger ripped off while wearing a ring, and if you have been marrried 30-40 years of course this is not something that matters to you but would it have mattered if he never wore it from day one and did not have an excuse (work)?

It would upset me for sure and i would wonder why he never wanted to wear it. He should not be embarrased to wear it at all. I understand why this hurts you so bad and you need to talk with him and tell him how this bothers you. Take your rings off and see how he feels.

You should also consider some other things like maybe there are really men out there who are not comfortable wearing jewelry. I might get upset if my husband didn't wear our wedding ring (good thing he does and is proud of it), but I won't make it an issue. Don't be bothered about it as long as you could see his faithfulness and loyalty to you. Is there any question in his faithfulness to you? If not, then there is no problem. In fact, ring is not a requirement to have a happy and successful marriage and it is not a measurement and not an assurance for a marriage to last forever. Don't push him to wear it. The more you will insist, the more he will resist it. Why not focus on some other things instead of fighting about it. Focus on things that would give assurance for your marriage.

I know your asking the ladies however, I have been married 23 years and have rarely worn my wedding ring. I nearly had my finger torn off while wearing it. I jumped out of a truck, the ring got caught and I kept going, not pretty. My wife doesn't make a big deal out of it and I really appreciate that. Perhaps you can consider why it is important to you that he wear it and work on your feelings. After all these years of marriage we have learned that the only people we can change is ourselves. God luck!

Neither my husband or I wear our rings. His broke and we just never got it repaired. We've been married long enough that I just don't think about it anymore.
Is trust an issue? Do you think he doesn't wear it for other reasons? He really should have told you before you were married that he didn't care to wear jewelry. But maybe he didn't know. I don't know what to tell you. Most couples could talk about this. This might just be one thing that you're going to have to give in to. It's a little thing really, don't let it create a wedge!

My dad never wears his wedding ring and my parents just celebrated their 40th anniversary. It's never been an issue. When my dad was younger, he saw a man have to rip his finger off to pull their hand out of an engine. The ring had gotten wedged.

my husband wore his wedding ring right p until we got back from our honeymoon and went aback to work. since then he neverhas worn it saying that since he hammers all day he;s afraid he will bend or break it if he hits his hand. i tried to cope with that by giving it to him as soon as he got home to put on. then several months later, he tells me it doesn't fit him and that why he won't out in on anymore. i tried slipping it on him while he was asleep, an lo and behold, it didn't fit! then like a year later during an argument, he says he doesn't like the style, so i got a "sub" ring for him to wear in a larger size, much plainer, and titanium so it was stronger. he still hardly ever wore it. i made a huge thing about it until i realized, the ring was only a symbol of his love for me. he WAS my love and showed it by going to work EVERY day, even when sick, to provide for me and our son. he paid the bills, bought the groceries, took me to the hospital when i was sick, dealt with my parents AND his, and so many other things that drowned out the fact that he didn't wear his ring. we've been together 5 years, and i hardly think abou tit anymore. it will always bug me a little, but i always can remember that he loves me anyway.

What did he tell you the reason was??? First of all does he like the ring? If he's not comfortable with the RING that might be part of it. The only other thing I can think of is that he doesn't want others (maybe another woman) thinking he's taken and he wants to look available. But I don't know your exact situation. You should tell us what his REASON is for not waering it, it would be easier to answer your question. But it would bother me too.

My dad has never worn a wedding ring and very seldom wears a watch. I do not wear mine if I am working out, working on my car, or just working around the house.
Don't worry about it to much, you may be reading to much into it.

my husband has not worn his ring in 36 years. and I dont care a ring does not make a husband. the reason is he caught it in a machine and almost riped his finger off... as for me I have not worn my ring for years on and off because of water gain.. And if anyone thinks wareing a ring will keep them fathfull your only fooling yourself. So dont let this bother you hun there are bigger and more importent things too fight about in a marrige . Let it go and live happy.

Take your ring off and see what he has to say. He might not like to wear it because it gets in the way when working and it has to do with safety.
