This is for the men and ladies.......?

Question

Ladies....how would it make you feel if your husband doesn't like to wear his wedding band and men why don't some of you dislike wearing it? My husband and I have been married for 8months, he has never been a flashy person meaning that he has never worn jewlery, he is also a pro-boxer so he is training and at the gym alot, and that is his excuse for not wearing his ring. I know a ring does not make a marriage but its just something that I would like for him to do (wear his ring). We love each other very much and there isn't any real trust issues between us but I would just like for him to wear his ring more. Am I wrong for that??

Answer 1

For women this is an issue, but I would say let it go. It is a symbol, not what his true feelings are. He has obvious reasons why he does not want to wear it. For a good example, my Pastor doesn't wear his wedding ring, he is also a carpenter by trade and refuses to wear because of work. He doesn't love his wife any less and never misses a moment to let everyone know how much he loves her. A ring is not going to keep women away, and if anything women in search of a married man and they are out there, will be looking for the ring. My husband never wore a wedding ring, (he is deceased) it is not that big of an issue, some men do not wear jewelry. Pick your battles and this should not be one of them. Don't ruin a good thing over something so insignificant. So try not to allow it to bother you. God bless*

Answer 2

Yes you are. Because all the ring does is tell other women that he is married, and with some women it doesn't matter rather he is married or not. Also you already stated that he don't (and never have) worn jewelry and when he's training a ring would just get in the way.
Two suggestions he may agree to:
1) Have him put the wedding ring on his key chain that way it is always with him.
2) You both can get a tattoo of a wedding ring on your fingers. That's not jewelry and he won't have to worry about losing the ring.

Answer 3

Sometimes it's not practical for him to wear his. If he's doing construction work around the house, he takes it off because if it got caught on the machines he uses he could lose his finger. But he does wear it once he's done with the home improvements, or we're out and about together. I would be hurt if he didn't wear it when he could. I take off my diamond ring if I'm doing yard work or making hamburgers, so it doesn't get caked with dirt or grease, otherwise its always on. It's not a matter of trust for me either, it just makes me happy to see it on his finger. When it's not there it makes me a little sad. May seem corny to some, but it's how I feel. My husband isn't flashy either. His wedding band is the only piece of jewelry he owns, but to me, a wedding band isn't just jewelry worn to look pretty, it's special.
I would ask him if he could at least wear it when he's home and not training, and when you two are out and about. There's no reason not to then.

Answer 4

I would also be unhappy if my husband did not want to wear his wedding ring. The only time he stopped wearing it was as l found out later he was cheating on me. He now never leaves the house without it . We also love each other very much and the trust is coming back, it just makes me more comfortable to know he wears it as a symbol of our marriage and love. I also never leave the house without my wedding ring.

Answer 5

Lady, get over it. I've been married for 13 years and I've always worn my ring. My wife does not wear hers - she's afraid of being robbed. A ring does not make a marriage. If he's going to cheat he will do so regardless of whether he's wearing his ring or not. Just trust each other and get on with more important things in life.

Answer 6

Don't stress over the little things in life!!!!! My husband never wore his wedding band during the last 25yrs of our marriage, and a lot of guys who physically work with their hands won't or can't wear a ring of any sort because it will cause further injury on the job. (ie. he is a machinist and the ring gets caught in a moving part of the machine and his finger gets torn off, it's not worth the risk)
In your case where he is a boxer, that ring can cause additional breakage of his finger with each punch. What price tag do you put on your/his body parts over wearing a ring which is only a symbol of love....it's not worth it. True love is there wheather or not a ring is worn!!!!!

Answer 7

If my husband doesn't wear his wedding band, I'd be a bit upset, because the ring symbolizes love, commitment and marriage. There's a reason why when people get married, they also have ring vows, you say the ring vows while you put it on the finger, it's a promise. And you're not wrong for that.

Answer 8

I've had an office job for 25 years. But when I come home I take off my ring when I go to bed.

If I work outside, on cars, etc., I take it off.

When I was young my cousin almost lost his finger when his ring got caught on a nail as he fell off a roof.

In auto mechanics we were taught to not wear any jewelry when working on cars, but since I never went fully into that field, I still use the same lessons about it.

You said he isn't flashy and didn't say anything about him flirting with other women... So consider yourself lucky at that and learn to trust him a bit more.

Answer 9

I Work construction And Never wore My Ring at Work. The Reason is that i seen A guy almost loose his finger a piece of wood broke and jammed between ring and his Finger. My Wife totaly understood this but afterwork i would wear it Untill I Went swimming with it on now it's a the bottom of a farm Pond.

Answer 10

The wedding ring is a symbol of eternity. It is circular representing that there is no end, noe beginning and no separation. You wear the ring on your left hand because it signifies being closest to your heart. Yes, he should wear his ring if only when he goes out with you or when he goes out for a recreational evening or if he's at home.
