Does it seem strange for a married man to not wear his wedding band anymore?

well i guess if he just stopped wearing it out of the blue and didnt say why then maybe but me and my hubby dont wear our rings because we trust each other and we had more problems with people hitting on us or trying to break us up when we wore them!! it all just comes down to trust and communication.. if he were to explain why he stopped then i wouldnt think anything about it.. if i just notice it has disappeared one day and he wont say why then i would prob be puzzled or bugged

Some women seem to be attracted to married men so having a ring or not might not make a difference if he was straying. A lot of men used not to wear a wedding band but to me it looks suspicious, I would be looking out for other signs. These days with all the diseases you don't want hubby coming home with some incurable virus or bacteria.

My hubby used to wear his ring. Then after awhile, he quit wearing it. When asked about it, he said he received a bad shock at work and it traveled through his ring. It scared him since he is aware there are nerves that go from that hand directly to the heart. He was an electrical technician at the time. He worked with high levels of electricity all the time. So I let it go. Later, his job changed to where he was no longer working so closely with the electricity but he did not put his ring back on. Now I started to get suspicious. Long story short, yep, he was not being faithful. I don't think he started out with the intention to wander but he did leave himself open to things that could have been avoided.

It does seem very strange - my husband always wears his ring even though he also has a dangerous job. If he took it off now people would still know that he was married - he has a perma-line there!

I know a lot of men who don't wear their ring because its a hazard when they do their job. They simply eventually forgot to put it back on, lol. Others never liked wearing jewelry including the wedding band. Sometime in the 60s I think it was, it was popular to have rather wide wedding bands for men. When they fell out of fashion because they were just too big, more men simply took them off. Personally, I wouldn't read too much into it. I took my wedding ring off for an extended period of time each time I was pregnant. I just didn't want to suddenly have my fingers swell up and not get it off anymore. That didn't mean I was about to cheat on my husband, lol. There are lots of legitimate reasons to take off the wedding band, even permanently, while still happily married. Then of course guys will also do it to cheat on their wives. Most women check a guy's hand first to see whether there is a ring or the telltale sign of a white strip or indentation of the skin where the ring used to be. Yes, if there is no such indication, a guy is more likely to be approached by women. Unless of course he isn't that attractive, lol.

if my husbands not wearing it then he wont be my husband. men are men, and only take it off for one reason.

My husband lost his ring a few years back and we never replaced it. I don't think anything of the sort when he doesn't wear one at work. I still wear mine and from time to time have taken it off when it's gotten too tight (from putting on weight). I trust him.

It just depends on who they are, like my husband, he doesn't wear his wedding rings because he's not the type that wears jewelry, he won't even wear a watch. His job is another reason he don't wear them, he's a mechanic. It doesn't bother me that he don't wear them, I trust him, he said its not like he has women chasing after him all the time, and he works with all men...lol.

I think it depends upon the situation. If the reason is legit for not wearing the ring, like what you said, because of the job he does which might not good to have a ring, that;s a valid reason of not wearing it. But if he just don't wear it with no other reason than that? it might be a signal of other things going on. But I am not with the reason that when a person don't wear the wedding ring, he/she is cheating? that is all depends..

If he used to wear a ring and then all of a sudden stopped, I may get suspicious if he didn't have a reason for the change. I've noticed that nowadays it seems a lot of men don't wear a ring, so you really can't use that as a indicator as to whether he is married or not. And it also seems that a lot of people these days don't hold the same level of respect for the union of marriage. So they don't really care if you are or not, if you will entertain them.

There's a good chance you're right. However, if it is dangerous to wear in his line of work, then he shouldn't wear it. I know when my first hubby quit wearing his, I always found out that he was having an affair. I have a friend who doesn't wear his & it's because he can't wear it at work & fears losing it putting it on & taking it off daily. He adores his wife. However, in your case...since he used to wear it & has just recently quit, I'd bet on the affair!!!

Yes, if the man had been wearing the ring for a long time then suddenly puts it aside, then the wife must check on him. He might be doing something strange and cheating on his wife. Some men pretend to be single even if they are married. And by not wearing that band women will think the man is still available. There are men who flirt even if they are married.

It does not seem strange now a days for a man not to wear his wedding band. They may not wear them due to a job that they are involved in. Women takes much more pride in her marriage than a man does simply because she loves the thought of being married first off and secondly she loves to show case her ring to her friends. Men may or may not be cheating, but if so that is something they will have to deal with on judgment day.

If it's dangerous because of his job, he should certainly stop wearing it at work. It does seem strange to me that he would stop wearing it after wearing it at first, but that's a good reason! There probably is the danger of other people seeing them as available, though.

Im from a very old school of thinking, if a married man isnt wearing a ring there is a good reason for him doing that, usually its because he doesnt want everyone to know he is married.

I can understand if it's work related such as carpentry or electrian type of work because the person is working with their hands and don't want to get their ring caught on something or they could lose their finger however, once work is done and they wash their hands, the wedding band goes back on. If the ring isn't on his finger by the time he gets home then there would be hell to pay. However, I wouldn't mention removing it to my hubby until he says something and then take the conversation from there. There are cases though that a man will take his ring off so he'll look "single" and able to flirt and accept flirts back and yes that is a form of cheating which I would not tolerate.

After my dad and mom got married and I mean the day after my dad took the band off. And honestly I don't blame him. He is a heavy duty mechanic and they really shouldn't be wearing rings while they are working like that. As well he never did put it back on after as he is not a person to wear jewelry either. My mom doesn't say anything about and she knows that he comes home to her every night so there is no problem whatsoever.

The job that he is working is really not suitable to wear any jewellery. The wedding band is a symbol of marriage but marriage should not be built on the basis of a symbol (ie wedding band). However, some people remove it when their spouse is not around. From my friends perspective, man are who are in search for a one-night-stand affair may not want to wear their wedding band as they drop hints to their potential targets that they are already married man and may blow their chance. Some develop a sense of guilt if they wear their wedding band and fool around. There are a few men who prefer wearing wedding band during their hunt as some women preferred married men. It is a very subjective topic and couples should develop trust and respect for their spouse. Unless they have been caught redhanded, they do not deserve an accusation.

i think that is odd and if my husband did it, i'd be suspicious. i can see if his safety at work is at stake but why not put it back on after work? the ring doesn't make the marriage but it is a symbol of the love and commitment. i wouldn't be happy if it were my husband.

I definitely think that it is not okay for men not to wear their bands. They are a symbol to their weareres of their undying love for their spouse. By a man taking off his wedding ring, he is denouncing his marriage to the public. It is seen as a bad thing for women not to ear their rings, there shouldnt be a double standard
