Married, but look, she doesn't have rings on

I understand you and your husband not wearing rings. Its not a big deal really. Marriage is in the heart not the jewerly anyway. Its not like you two are removing the rings to appear single. I have jewery set that have necklace, earrings and rings. I do not mind wearing the rings when im going to church, movies, dinner, etc. But once i get home i have to take that ring off. Even though i may wear the necklace and earrings till im getting ready for bed. Also when i go wash my hands the ring has to come off. I dont feel washing your hands with a ring on your hands can not get totally clean. I just hate shaking hands with a person who has rings on every finger. I feel like they have dirty hands. I just think they are washing their hands with all the rings still on their hands and therefore their hands can not get clean.

Hi bluemoonpavilion, Congratulations and best wishes on your recent marriage. I know it is up to you and your husband not to wear your wedding ring, but where I live and the people I know, not wearing your rings means that you are available to approach with romantic interests. If all of your friends and associates and others who may be interested, now or in the future, know that you and your husband are committed to each other, rings or no rings, then there shouldn't be any problem not wearing them. I can't imagine having to say, "I am married," to every guy that approached with "friendly" intentions because they don't see a ring on my finger, which is a meaning without words. The ring is suppose to represent a symbol of eternal love, bond unbreakable. We all know with or without wearing the rings, it is up to the couple to make it work. With or without, be happy.

How great! My friends and family always think I am strange because I don't like wearing rings, watches or any jewellery at all. If I go out, sometime I have to wear my watch but I can't wait to get home and take it off! Lately I have stopped wearing it because I realized that I can check the time with my cellphone! My wife wears a wedding ring, but she knows me only too well and doesn't try to persuade me to wear one.. _Derek

I used to think that wearing our wedding ring is a big deal. It makes me feel more closer to my husband until he lost his. Well, I guess I am a sentimental fool. Now, I don't wear my wedding ring, too. And, I don't think I'll ever wear one again....My husband doesn't even bother to ask why I no longer wear the ring and I did not bother to ask him, too, if he already found his ring...

I dont think its really necessary to wear a ring i mean its up to your own personal choice at the end of the day and what your partner feels, i think you have every right to decide what you feel like doing and people allways talk they just need just a reason to talk about and entertain themself with ...

I wear mine all day, everyday, at home and away. I work in an office, so no need to remove them for work. I only take them off when I am doing heavy cleaning or gardening, so they dont get damaged, and then I put them back on when I've finished. My wife also wears her wedding ring 24/7. Our rings are important to us of course, because they are a symbol of our love and commitment to each other. In my first marriage, my ex-wife and I ran a workshop together so it was a messy manual labour job and I would take my rings off and put in my purse everyday when I got to the workshop. I lost my first engagement ring, when it fellfrom my purse as I was walking along and putting my jewellery back on after work and I couldnt find it. I was devastated at the time. I got an insurance replacement bigger and better than the original even,but it wasnt the same, because it wasnt the engagement ring with which we married with.Few years after our divorce, my home was burgled and my entire jewellery collection was stolen, along with the insurance replacement ring and my original wedding ring.And yeah I was upset about that too.

I also do not like wearing wedding rings and I wore it only once on my wedding day and thereafter gifted it to my better half..........lol! And we are happily married.

I used to wear my wedding ring all the time, but for the last year or so, I have not worn it, because it has started making my finger swell up for some reason, so I took it off. I have tried to put it back on a few times, and it is OK for a day or two, then my finger swells up again. I don't know if I need to have it re-sized, or if there is some other underlying issue, but for right now, I am not wearing my wedding ring...

I don't think wearing rings is important in a relationship. If your husband is fine with you not wearing the ring, then it is fine. But, it is always nice to wear the ring if you are fine with it. I am proud to wear my wedding ring and tell the public that I am married to a wonderful man. But, personal preferences matters. It is good that you are not forced to wear that.

I have never been one to wear jewellry of any type. I wore my engagement ring and wedding band, then had to stop wearing them for a while, (because the things shrank!) and then, when they grew bigger again, I wore them for a few years, then the stupid things shrank again, and they haven't gone back to the right size since!!! I keep them in case they decide to have a growth spurt. Ahem, yes, didn't yoou KNOW that rings don't stay the same size Earrings hurt my ears, necklaces irritate my skin and well, I just don't think of putting them on unless its a special occasion! It hasn't affected our marriage though. Hubby's quite content that I don't care for baubles. (maybe THAT's the secret!) 26 years next month

We are the same, I hardly wear jewelry and accessories, I am thinking when I get married, how will I able to wear that wedding ring for lifetime without getting rid of it. As matrimony is concern, wedding ring is the sign that the person is married already, they say the taking the ring off is a no no. If you take it off, means that you are separated or something like that. I tried to buy a cheap silver for me and my bf, I try to wear it all the time but one day I misplaced it, but my bf still wears the ring I gave till now. I think whether you like or not, you should wear the wedding ring as a sign of respect.

Hi bmp,sorry if I initial your name:) Anyways, just like you, me and my hubby got married too but both of us sometimes wear our ring,sometimes not,we only wear our most of the time we remember to wear haha. Yea and there are some of our frieds that would say "aren't you guys married?,where's the ring?" haha and we just say oh at home and they sometimes start thinking that our married is going to end anytime soon but no, material dont symbolize of love and marriage but couple does, couple with strong attachment and feeling to each other.

why not using your wedding rings? i think it's like some information to person all around us, if we got formal married.rings, for me means everything.for me this is make me to more believe each other, and i appreciated my husband.nothing wrong for using wedding rings. but different person different style and different reason why not using wedding rings.

It's the commitment that's important, not the ring. I, like you, do not wear any jewelry except a watch. I have been married almost 15 years and do not feel that I need to get a ring to show people I'm married.

I don't really think wearing the ring is important, it depends on the situation. I don't wear mine, as I'm not allowed to within my work places. Most managers are extremely funny about wearing rings, especially around the types of machines I can come in contact with. It's not really an issue for me, it would however upset me if my wife stopped wearing hers as I spend £300 on it. Mine was only a cheap ring and I'm not saying it's about money, it's not but I never really liked wearing rings before I got married. Hence why mine cost £10 and my wife's cost considerably more.

you know what I used to think the same that wearing wedding ring is imporant because it's a sign I pledge myself to someone, not to show off but somehow I hardly wear the ring hence nobody knows I am married unless I said so and now I don't think wearing it is important anymore I feel that as long as I keep my pledge and stay loyal, that's what matters

I don't see anything wrong with it. Lack of a ring does not mean you are available anyway. It is what is in your hearts that matters more than anything. The rings are just a material symbol and nothing more.

I don't think that wearing a wedding ring is that important, however my ex-wife thought it was important for me to wear it even at work. I worked making forklift batteries, the ring arked out on the battery and nearly blew my finger off. It had enough current through the ring that it melted. I also thought wearing the ring all the time isn't comfortable.

well, it all depends... like in your case, you don't have to... the love symbolized by the ring is more important than the ring itself... also, the commitment...

I don't care if someone like you don't have any ring yet your already married. For me rings are just a sign that you are with someone and I don't think it's on the law that couples have to wear it forever. My mom and dad are married for almost 30 years and they are not wearing their rings anymore, so I guess it's not important that you have to wear it all the time as long as there is no hidden agenda like not wearing it because you are illegally seeing someone else. The thing that matter is your happiness, just try to ignore what other people says. Stay happy and in love.
