I wouldn't get angry. It is just a symbol - weather it's worn or not you're still married. I really do prefer that it is worn all the time. It does depend in what sitation they're not wearing it though. My husband and I bought really cheap wedding rings and he has really sensitive skin - he had a reaction to the cheap metal and now he doesn't wear his and will wear one again when we get solid gold. It bothers me a little - I wish he was wearing it - but I trust him and know that it doesn't make that much of a difference either way because he wouldn't cheat on me. But if I say walked into a party or a bar and my husband was supposed to be wearing his ring and wasn't - yeah I'd get a little upset.

I have to agree with what most of the others have said. My dad never wore his wedding ring and my parents were married for 30 years. They didn't find out until after they got married that he was allergic to gold. My best friend's dad has gone through several rings in the 35+ years that he's been married. As a mechanic, he has damaged quite a few.
I love my wedding ring but would understand that a piece of jewelry isn't what makes my husband stay faithful. If you trust your spouse, then you have nothing to worry about. If you don't trust them, a ring won't make things better.
Good luck!

My man is an auto mechanic. I'd get angry if he wore it, and then lost his finger or hand.
When he goes out he knows he is married, and I am secure enough not to really worry about that. Besides, if someone is going to cheat, a ring wont stop them. Why worry about the ring when I can worry about the man!
But there if there is no reason not to wear it, then why not anyways?
He is so forgetful though, and lost his nice band before, I guess we've just gotten comfortable b/c I don't always wear mine either, I have health problems that mess with my water and ring size.

Nope. Why would I? A wedding ring is just a piece of metal. It may symbolize something that is special to us two, but that's all. It's not a leash, it's not our committment to each other. It's just an object. The people who I have known that have been the most firm about, "I'll never take off my wedding ring" were making the symbol the important thing, and it's just not. I've known people who left their rings on and cheated like hell on their partners. Whether my husband wears his wedding ring or not is not the standard for a committed marriage.

I think both men and women should wear their wedding rings. But, I can also understand men who has a profession that could be dangerous to wear a ring. For example mechanics. It would be only too easy to catch their ring on something and pull their finger off. I know this can happen. It happened to a friend of mine. I would suggest these men take their ring off during work then put it back on after work.

It is a sign of our commitment to each other and to others that we are married. My wife only takes her ring off when she is cooking and not even all the time.
I have only taken my ring off once since our wedding four years ago and that was because my wife wanted my ring cleaned. The cleaning did not do much and I have not had to worry about taking it off again.
I would be upset if my wife just was not interested in wearing her ring and she would notice mine missing right away. She would not understand why I would not be wearing my ring.
Take care,
Troy

I would be upset if my husband didn't wear his ring (what's I buy it for?). If we talked about before the wedding and it was something that either of us legitimately had reason for, then not wearing the ring would be OK. But since the ring is a symbol of love, I would expect him to wear it.

No, some people just don't like to wear rings. I'm a girl, and I don't like rings. They get in the way. And I work a lot with my hands, so it's just not practical.
Not a big deal. A ring isn't a marriage. It's the people.

Both my hubby and I had wedding rings when we got married. He now has a joint condition which means he cant wear his ring and my job makes it unsafe to wear one. So, neither of us wear a ring most of the time!
The only time when I feel odd about wearing it is when I am out on my own, meeting people who dont know me.
Its not disrespect from either of us, its just the way its happened.

I do not like it when he does not wear his ring, but other than for working on the car he tends to wear it anyways.
It is NOT a sign of insecurity [well not totally] but was married before and he would take his off ALL the time so it did not cramp his style............
Basically if a girl is gonna hit on him they will do so REGARDLESS if he wears a ring or not and for a certain level of female that is an extra bonus for him to be married.
