My fiance lives in USA while I live in another country...I always see him on the webcamera not wearing his engagement ring, our relationship is serious, and we want to marry soon...
But it's very disturbing seeing him not wearing it...when I ask him about it, he always gives excuses...he also says that girls there like to get married or engaged guys....but actually I don't believe that.....by the way I started taking it off too, because i feel silly to wear it while he doesn't...I was very comitted to it before.....and I hate that....I really don't want that to stay like this....so what to do?

Well, I see that in the US, engagement ring is not of that importance. But in my country, which he is originally from, it means alot, just as important as the wedding ring :-) , but i didn't know that some girls are attracted to engaged guys there...Thanks for your answers

Sorry, but I've never heard of a guy wearing an engagement ring. Many American men don't wear jewelry at all, that could be why. It's kind of macho not to be into the bling. If it were a wedding band I could understand, but this seems weird.

His excuse for not wearing the engagement ring seems vague and indicates his heart is not in the right place regarding his engagement to you. As there is nothing you can do to ensure he is always wearing his ring, especially being that you both live so far apart, you have only a few options, you either accept the fact that he may not be wearing the ring, or you think about the real issue, and that is, he is not putting much value into the engagement. Best to address these issues now than to marry him and see problems later.

Promise jewelry at the instant are not comparable to engagement jewelry. A promise ring is a ring promising to stay real to one yet another. there continues to be no promise of marrying with a promise ring. An engagement ring is a ring that symbolized that the two human beings comply with get married and plan a marriage interior the close to destiny

A relationship is not about the ring. Are you getting a feeling that he's not as "into" you as he once was? My husband doesn't wear his wedding band - both because of his work (he works with electronics) and because he's uncomfortable wearing jewelry. It doesn't matter to me - what matters is his conduct as a husband, and so far he's been the best husband I could wish for. I could care less if he chose to never put this ring on again.
My ex always wore his ring, and he still left me for another woman. A ring is just a piece of metal. If you're doubting his commitment, it has to be because of something else; do you have a gut feeling that something's wrong?

Anyway, my husband doesn't even wear wedding ring. He's an electrician and they highly suggest that anyone in that field does not wear rings. It bothered me at first, but I can't do much about it.

Its sort of true...some women in the US like men that are considered "taken". It's weird, it's like they think, "well, if he's got a girlfriend then he must be ok". Where as the single guys, some may wonder what is wrong with him since he's single and avoid him.
Its funny, it works the same with guys....when I was married...I got hit on all the time! Now that I'm single again...they seem to avoid me like the plague. Hardly ever get asked out anymore.
We all want the un attainable I guess.

Most guys in the US don't wear engagement rings. Maybe he doesn't like to stick out, or be unusual.
Also, I've noticed, that yes girls do prefer talking to married / engaged guys. For some reson they seem to be more attracted to them.

Men don't wear engagement rings in the USA. Women are lucky if they get them to wear their wedding bands. And really, you're in another country, if he was going to cheat, he'd cheat with or without the ring on his finger. Gotta love the USA!!!

Well what he said is true up to a point.
There are women that prefer married/engaged men.
But I think for the most part he's just making lame excuses.
