Why do you have to keep it on if that is that case?

No unless for medical reasons; surgery etc. It's a symbol just as much as the wedding band is. It should hold as much meaning for the person wearing it.

I take my ring off whenever I feel I can easily : loose it or cause damage to it. I also take it off when I am doing dishes (put it in jewelry box) or my pants if washing hands. Don't want it to go down the drain nor do I want the chemicals to damage my ring. There is chemicals (expecially bleach) that will cause damage to jewelry if exposed or used too long over periods of time doing so.
I ride my horses and I also do adventerous stuff that I know if it comes off, I would be a needle in a huge hay stack (sky dividing, swiming in ocean or even pools where people won't be honest if find it).
I just had it re-sized since I lost it twice in one week. so, it will take a lot to take it off now. However, that chance still is something I nor my fiance likes. He has no problem with me taken it if off when needed. I flaunt it enough that he knows it is nothing to take personally anyways.
My fiance 100% agree's with my choices. He actually encourages me and even asked if I felt it would be better it be in a safe spot. The ring is a sign of him and I want to extend into the next level.
Why risk damaging it or loosing it if means that much? That is the way we think of it. Plus, why loose something he is paid all that money for that he saved up to get me? It would be very heart breaking. In Iraq, he lost a ring that I gave him to go with him and he said it felt like someone punched him in the stomach. The ring was like a mood ring that cost 3 bucks. But it meant everything to him. So, sometimes we need to protect it and our fingers can be the worst exposure at times.
I take it off at night cuz the way I sleep, it causes my finger to ache and swell the point I am in pain. But I put it on as I wake up in morning.

It's wise to keep your engagement ring on whenever you are out in public unless you want the single men to hit on you. Don't confuse them if you are already committed. If you are engaged and not committed, then take off your ring and I can assure you your engagement will be ended quickly.
Your ring is the second thing the guys are looking at. What's the first?

I don't see a problem with taking it off if you have a legitimate reason for taking it off...example: washing dishes, showers, bed time, etc!! I don't think you should take it off just for the heck of it like going out and stuff like that! Unless you don't want people to know that you are engaged! But, if it's a legitimate reason...go ahead, it's okay!! Hope that helps...

What nonsense, I always take my rings off when I am making pastry ! The tradition of engagement rings is that they be sold before the wedding to enable the couple to buy things for their home. Marriage is not about superstition but about deep love and commitment.

I take mine off when I take a shower because it is jagged edges (marquis cut) and will scratch me if I didn't. Also I plan on not wearing it at work/clincals for the time being because it involves me putting on and removing rubber gloves constantly (work and clinicals for nursing school at a hospital) and the gloves will snag on it a lot or rip it. Plus more than one nurse I work with has actually lost theres because it came off when they took their gloves off. I don't want to have to dig through a hospital trash can for my diamond.
WHen I get married though (and have a wedding band) I will wear it ALL the time.

the idea is to show other people that you are spoken for.......I would worry if a chick took it off too much, but depending on her job she may not be allowed to wear rings often. The other thing is you really should take all your jewelry off at night, and when you do things like wash dishes, gardening etc.......I only took mine off for concrete work!

i think of that she grew to become into in simple terms extremely excited approximately getting the ring (because of the fact she's a jeweler, and she or he sells rings greater often than buys them). in all probability she in simple terms felt enable down that she wasn't going to get her ring, and she or he's feeling sulky. i'm no professional, yet you ought to in all probability confront her and notice what's up. Be delicate, and don't in user-friendly terms come out and say, "Did you in user-friendly terms wanna get married because of the ring?" Play it cool, and who's familiar with? you're able to be able to easily get married with the aid of the tip of the 365 days! the ring would not make an engagement or a marriage, love and a undeniable bond does. anybody is tight on money presently, yet anybody continues to be gonna get married, high priced ring or no longer. Oh, and in case you nevertheless experience undesirable regarding the ring, attempt to discover one that's quite close in visual allure, yet is a little greater inexpensive. (yet do no longer purchase it if she says she grew to become into in user-friendly terms in it for the ring, or in case you have no longer have been given adequate money) Congrats, dude, and stable luck!

I take it off to shower, go swimming, washing dishes, or any other time my hands will get wet. I don't want it to slip off in the water and possibly get lost down a drain or something.
I wear it for sentimental reasons. I love my husband, he picked it out for me, he gave it to me, and he proposed to me with this ring. It's a reminder of that love, plus it's really pretty ;-)
I don't "have" to wear it, I want to.

After you are married the engagement ring becomes part of the set, that is why they are sold together. I never take either of mine off. If the comittment ceremony and vows mean anything to you, you'd never want to take them off.
