I wear one, my husband, however, does not "wear" a conventional ring, he decided, on his own by the way, to get his "tatooed", after we were married about 10 years. He nearly lost his ring finger once & doesn't wear jewelery of any kind. I was really touched when he came home one day with the tattoo. We both firmly believe marraige is forever. I did ask him once what he would do if we ever split, he just shrugged & said he'd always be married in his heart to me!

Actually, he's finally starting to improve...thank GOD! He took a really bad spill on some ice a couple of weeks ago, sprained his ankle VERY badly. He's been on crutches for the last 2 weeks & is finally starting to hobble around the house with a cane.
Do you have ANY idea how whiny men are when they are hurt or sick????
The next project is the bar Mackman...I'll be sure to post pictures...last I heard the plan was the shape of the Pontiac "V" on the older model hood ornament...Will be sure to keep you posted!

Been married to my HS GF 26 years in May. The first few years when I was young and naive I did not wear it because I was too cool for that. About 12-13 years ago I started thinking it was disrespectful to not wear it and have had it on ever since.

No. I stopped after the 3rd I lost.
I don't wear watches or chains either. Keep losing those as well.
When I'm asked about why I don't, I simply state "my wife married me. I wasn't wearing one then, so she should accept me as I was."
Truth is, after buying the third one herself, she decided simply to accept that I lose things, and she should buy the gold rings and chains for herself.
She seems to like that ideal.

SInce losing alot of weight I have stopped wearing mine. I feel lost without it. When I finally hit my weight loss goal I will have it resized so I can wear it again. But in reality you really don't have to wear a ring to be married.

Before my wife and I split up I stopped wearing my third different wedding ring after about the 13th year of marriage! I got tired of having a mangled up piece of metal that cut off the circulation to my finger. The first one I had got smashed when I dropped a transmission from a dodge caravan on it. When I went to the ER to get the finger stitched up the doc was afraid of trying to cut off the ring so I had to do it a few weeks later when that finger was twice as fat as all the others!
It's just safer to not have ANY jewelry when you work on sh*t as much as I do. Did I mention my last job was a Plumber? That stuff gets in and on everything!

I was working next to another guy (back in the NAVY) when he lost his finger because of his wedding ring. So, for me, it depends what I'm working with whether I wear mine or not. Back when I pulled flats, I did not wear one. Now, pulling reefers, I generally don't do things that might cost me my finger, so I'm fine wearing one.
Before I started driving, when I worked with electricity, that little gold band is one of the very best conductors there is. Ring touching ground, and the finger touches a live circuit, and you can lose your finger just that quick. I would not wear mine at all, back then.

Nah, women have a very good ability to figure out who is wearing a wedding band due to actually being married and who isn't!!!
