Do you ever take your wedding ring off?

no, i think it is a cruel thing to do so.By removing your weddingring you are sayng, I don't love you anymore,

I wear my rings when I go out somewhere but not around the house because I am always putting my hands into something and I want to protect my rings. I don't wear them at night because my hands swell and it makes my arm hurt. I don't mind taking them off sometimes. The issue is not where my rings are but where my heart is. I always put them right into my jewelry box so I won't lose them when I take them off.

Hello there, I do take my wedding ring off occasionally for cleaning or the beach in summer. In your case, I don't see there is any problem. The way you act seems you look after your ring in a more serious way, which proof you care it and value it more. Taking off the ring doesn't mean the chance of losing will be higher.

Rarely it happens.Whenever I am tensed.

Yes, I do. Even now I am not wearing it. Why? Because it does not fit anymore. When I got pregnant, I gained weight a lot, so I had to take my wedding's ring off. Now, I still can't get back to my normal weight, that's why the ring still a bit to small for my finger at this time. Of course the ring have big meaning for me, but my feeling is more important than the ring, and my husband can understand about that.

You know that is such a touchy subject and I am not sure what the big deal is. I take my ring off when I do dishes and shower. I always set it on my dresser so it wont get lost. Taking your wedding ring off is not some omen and bad things will happen to you. Everyone is different and do things a certain way. There is nothing wrong with taking it off to do some chores. For me I am just trying to keep it in perfect shape. I don't want to lose a diamond or damage it in some other way or even get it dirty if i am cooking. It is hard to get little pieces of hamburger or little spices out from between the diamonds. So don't worry if you feel better to take it off when doing certain things like many women then you keep doing it. There is nothing wrong with it. Like you said its not like you are going out clubbing with friends you are just doing some household stuff.

I don't wear my wedding band all the time. I wear gloves when I am working to protect my hands from germs. My hands sweat and that causes moisture under the rings that I wear. This causes irritation. I now only wear my rings when we go out. That isn't often. I don't wear them when I am home. Rings do signify a marriage, it is in the way you present yourself that does. If you act married, you are married.

I don't take mine off...only because I am lazy. I don't think it's a big deal. My mother takes hers off all the time. We also have a chain (called the mangalsutra that married women wear) which is to be worn all the time. Well, I don't mind taking that off too...but it's really short and I don't want to be fiddling with the latch and breaking it. If it was longer, I would have taken it off. I think it's all in the mind and heart...and it might also signify to other people that you are married. But being careful and taking them off doesn't mean that you care any less for your spouse. Anyways, mine is a little tight and won't come off easily when making meatballs...lol. But it is difficult to clean it when I have it on almost all the time and put lotion or cook with it....kneading the dough is the hardest part. I ought to take it off then...and I think I will be from now on.

I take my wedding ring when I go to bed and when I take a bath. Now the reason is besides my fingers swell, is because before I married, I got pregnant, and gave the baby away. I tried to get pregnant after I married with no success, and figured that was because maybe I was one of those girls who once they got married lost all chances to getting pregnant again. I have heard of this happening and I guess the reason was that either no decent guy would marry them until all chances of them having a child were gone, or they had gotten a disease, or the guys that married them did not want children, and they assumed that the girl by giving away her baby, did not want children anyway. Anyway now it is because my finger swells although with my losing weight, I will have to keep the ring on and too he!! with that superstition!

Hello Sillychick :) I was able to wear my wedding ring until before I got pregnant with my first baby. After that, the ring doesn't fit my fingers anymore because I'm bigger now. But its not a big deal to me and my husband. He doesn't wear his wedding ring too because he really never got used to the feeling of wearing a ring. After 3 kids and 9 years of marriage, I know our relationship is stronger than other couples we know who never take their wedding rings off. I even know couples who had separated a few years after marriage, even if they never take their wedding rings off. Well, I'm sure that wedding rings are great symbol of love and commitment. But it takes more than a wedding ring to build a strong relationship. In our marriage, our wedding ring is not the one that binds us. Its our children. :)

I always wear my wedding ring in my right hand. And I put it in my left hand when I eat or when I have to knead something with hand or when I am oiling mine or my daughter's hair. Other wise I have never taken it off.

That's rediculous! I take mine off all the time to shower and put lotion on and sometimes to cook. They mean a lot to me but they are just symbols really. Besides that, they are going to lose a stone and ruin them if they keep showering with them and putting them under water. LOL, maybe they want new rings, who knows but if that's the case, how precious can they be to them if they are so willing to replace them so often? ;-P

No, I am married for only 8 months anyway. And my wedding band is kinda tight right now I am having a hard time taking it off and I dont want to take it off too because it is placed where I also have my solitaire diamond ring my hubby gifted me last Christmas and it's kinda loose so it serves as a barrier for the diamond ring. I also feel naked now when I remove my rings. So I dont take it off.

You know they are presious to you and more importantly the marriage is, I am a massage therapist, so my ring comes off every day I work, dont think the clients want to feel my ring in their neck.

If on the odd times I use hand cream I do take my rings off, what a mess it makes of a setting, but then they go back on. Unfortunately I do sometimes have to take my rings off and leave them off because I get bad swelling in my hands. Otherwise I do wear my rings. There's a big difference between taking your rings off for a logical reason and just taking them off in the hope to attract someone elses attention. Obviously your rings are very important to you and that is why you take them off to keep them looking good! If you do get food or hand cream stuck to the rings I have a tooth brush I use just for my rings and a dab of toothpaste works miracles.

I've only got the engagement ring so far, and it's never been further than the base of my knuckle, to clean around it. it's fine with soap, it's fine with creams (I work with skincare, so am in contact with these a lot) if it gets dull I wipe it with a soft cloth and it comes up shiny again. any kind of muck in it will wash right out again, no trouble. I never ever want to take my rings off.

there is superstition about taking them off I think. Sadly my gorgeous wedding band (we put all the money into a nice wedding band for us rather than an engagement ring) flew off my finger 15 years ago - I heard it bounce off the house siding and it rolled under the deck as far as I could tell. we crawled under and could not find it - we tore out the deck and used a metal detector with no luck :( then the base we lived at closed and we had to move. I left a message for whoever would eventually buy that house from the Army (after 6 mos of having it on the market the army bought it from us to sell) would send it our way. we have since moved a couple more times... I don't imagine I will ever receive my ring back.

my husband and i don't even have wedding rings, lol. we didn't want to waste the money on something we'd both inevitably lose...so i don't think there's anything wrong with what you do...

No wedding ring but I think that you are doing the right thing unless your husband would rather have salmonilla or something. Or a diamond in his meatball. LOL

I support you,madam.Although I have not married yet,I understood you entirely.My grandmother had this kind of wonder,when she was cooking or washing clothes,at firs,she really hesitate whether to take the wedding ring off or not,but at last she always made her decision to take it off,because it was absolutely convenient to do the housework without it.In my opinion,she is right.The love exists in the heart,not just in the outstandings.To love someone or not,it does not depend on taking the rings off.
