Most couples wear wedding rings. Some men don't though, because of their jobs...or if they lose them they don't get a new one. I suppose, he just isn't into jewelry. If you think something fishy is going on...trust your instincts and do something about it.

ooh my best friend had an argument with her hubby over this last month.
He would only wear his ring when they were out together or at family occassions. He thought along the same lines as your husband that it was only a piece of metal and used the whole " don't you trust me" line on her when she asked if he wanted other women to think he was single etc.
She started not wearing hers when she went out, he didn't notice until she mentioned it to him. Then he got all jealous about it etc.! Maybe it will work for you?? Good luck either way!

We both do. The only time my husband ever took his off is when he was a machinist. It was a hazard to work with it. If it got caught in a machine, it could take his finger or worse with it. Now he's changed professions and he never takes it off. Neither of us need a piece of metal to remind us of our love for each other. Speaking for myself, I wear mine because I'm proud to be married and I want to show the world.

we both wear ours all the time.
i only take mine off when i do the cleaning or when in the shower cos i get that wierd white mark where the ring is (what is that??)...same with him...only takes it off when in the shower or when in bed cos u know hw ur fingers swell overnight (again whats that about??) and then he cant take it off in morning for a shower.
at the start he felt uncomfortable wearing it because he's not really a jewellry person...but now he's used to it and feels uncomfortable if he hasnt got it on. he's actually quite proud of our wedding rings...he was the one insisting that we get our names and wedding date engraved...ahhh bless...(but secretly i think that the date thing is so that he dont ever forget anniversary! lol)
anyway...its can be quite true that you dont need a piece of metal to prove/show your love for someone and that its about trust....but i believe with majority of people here in that a wedding ring signifies that you are married and why should you not want everyone to know that...we love the fact that people know we're married, we're both happy so why hide it. to me my engagement and wedding rings are like a part of him with me whenever he's not with me.
maybe he's just not comfortable wearing jewellery cos its more of a woman thing...i know many couples where the man doesnt wear a wedding ring...i guess it jus depends on the kind of man. dont worry about it too much hun. xx

I bought my hubby an engagement ring after he proposed and gave me mine and he wears that one on his right hand ring finger and his wedding band on his left hand ring finger. So he's married on both hands LOL. I wear my wedding band and engagement ring on my left hand ring finger. The only reason, I have ever heard of, why a man won't wear his wedding band is because he's trying to pretend he's still single to pick up chicks. I think the lame excuse of not needing metal to remind him of his love for you is crap. If he loved you that much and you asked him to wear his ring, don't you think he'd wear it to make you happy and feel more secure???

He needs to wear a ring sweet, so that the other sex dont think he is single... I dont know him but why does he feel that he doesn't have to wear a ring to remind himself of you. My husband has a wedding ring and he often tells me that he gets lost in thought thinking of me looking at his ring on his break at work. Is it a case that he feels you both cant afford it? I dont know... Only you know that. He could be truthful in what he says... only you know that my sweet. But why ask us? Think about what you really want, and talk to him about how you feel. Best of luck sweet xx Be happy x

we both wear them (going on 30th anniversary)
she also wears a diamond anniversary band that I bought her for our 20th, because I never got her an engagement ring
It took me a l-o-n-g time to get used to wearing a ring however, as I had never worn any jewelry except a watch. When first married I would play with it, take it off, spin it on tabletop, etc.
Yes, that bugged her.
Nowadays I wear it almost all the time, but do remove it when getting allergic reaction, usually spring allergies or if I eat too much seafood. Then my fingers swell and it is tight. She understands.

I have not removed my ring once in the seven years that I have been happily married. The ring is not there to remind him of his obligations and vows... it is supposed to be there as a symbol of the pride that he shows in being your husband. Unless he works some kind of blue-collar job where the ring could get lost or damaged, he is being a putz.

My husband and I both wear our wedding rings. When I was growing up my dad didn't wear his wedding ring because he worked in a factory.
