Would it bother you if your significant other doesn't wear a wedding ring?

When we were still together under one roof, there were times when I leave the house with no wedding ring on my finger. I would then realize it when I am on a cab halfway to my workplace. My day is spoiled! I love proclaiming to the world that I am married and I am proud of it! Now that its been 9 months that I am thousands of miles away from her, I always make it a point to have that symbol of unity and marriage on my finger wherever I go. It reminds me of her that often. I only put on my ring when I leave the house for work or for some errand. The moment I arrive home from work, I remove it and place it in our jewelry box. I dont use it when I take a bath nor cook. It makes me do chores accessibly with accuracy. We're close to 4 years married now and our wedding rings look exactly the way it looked when we inserted it onto each other's fingers as vows were declared. Its shape, color, and shine are still preserved just the way our love for each other is preserved every single day of our lives and until tomorrows come... =)

It would depend entirely on why.

nope because i am the one that often forgets to put mine on. my ring doesnt fit very well due to arthritis and i always take them off at night. fortunately, my hubby doesnt care.

Oh yes bby! It would bother me. My father didn´t use to wear it. And my parents are now divorced. I´ve always worn my wedding ring. I am brunnette, and I have a white mark in myfinger where the sun hasn´t reached my skin for 13 years. Hehe. I take it off all nights. And I put it on, every morning. I feel as if I ware hand nak..ed when I don´t have it on. Sometimes, at least 12 times in the last 6 months. I wake up at night, looking for my ring. I get up on dreams. And I wake up my huby looking for my ring. Hehe. He is so used that I wake him up at midnight because I was having nightmares, because I couldn´t feel my ring on my finger. Hahaha. My huby always ware his ring too. =) Blessings!... Dainy

Yes, it would bother me a lot if my husband didn't wear his wedding ring. He actually lost it for a while when he went on a fishing trip with one of his friends, and we thought it was gone for good. He had taken it off for one reason or another, and then he couldn't find it. He got it back 3 or 4 months later, but I was bothered by him not having it on the entire time it was missing. I think that he was too because ever since he has had it back, he on;y takes it off to clean it. I think that the wedding ring is a symbol to the world that a man or woman is married and in a committed relationship. I feel that those spouses who choose not to wear their ring for no other reason than they do not want to are almost suggesting to others that they are single. Not all people are this way, but in my experience, the majority of married people who refuse to wear their ring do not hold to their marriage vows when given the opportunity to stray from them. As I said, it is my experience that this applies to the majority of those who do not wear their wedding ring.

I would be bothered why he didnt wear the ring. To me the ring is the resemblence of my heart wrap around his fingers. It should be the most important thing that he should take care and treasures. That ring can also stop unwanted women to approach him and safe him from ruin his marriage.

When I was married, my husband did not wear is ring. It didn't bother me. He was a construction worker and on the side he was always working on cars. He wasn't the type to wear jewlery anyway but it was actually dangerous for him to wear it with the equipment he often used. It really boils down to trust. If a person is going to cheat that ring or lack of it isn't going to cause a person to cheat or not cheat.

It would bother me, yes. Alot of men do not wear rings because they do jobs that it either gets in their way, or it could get caught on things and be dangerous. I think rings are nice and signify eternal love but they shouldn't be a shackle or a sign. If two people don't trust one another and expect the other to wear a ring because they are property of the other then something is wrong. They should wear the ring because they want to and they are proud of the union.

If there is a reason behind why they dont want to wear the ring (other and just because they dont want to) then it may not bother me (if they cant wear jewlery for example). If they just dont want to wear it, then I would question WHY not. Most people will wear a ring when they are married though, so I dont really see what the issue it as to why they wouldnt.

I thought it shouldnt matter but there was a time when I was so angry at my husband that I didnt wear our wedding ring. He got angry about it and with his reaction, I thought that wearing it was such something and I should not forget it. But I guess my husband and I need to repair our wedding rings cause our fingers are bigger now that 2 years ago. lol

If he will give me ONE good reason why he wont wear it.

hi, yes of course,it will totally bother me when my significant other dont wear his wedding or engagement ring, because it will be the root cause of suspicion to both of them.for me it will mean that he hide it to prove that he is still single...

I think it would absolutely bother me. I think it's a show of respect for your spouse and you are saying that you are happy being married. I mean, if there is a reason you can't wear your ring (I know some people that can't because of their job), thats one thing. If you just aren't wearing it because you don't want to, that's a totally different thing.

I think it all comes down to trust. If I trusted him then I wouldn't care if he wore the ring or not. If I didn't trust him then I still wouldn't care about his wearing a ring, it's the lack of trust that would be the problem. Rings don't keep people from cheating after all. Some people even look for married people to have affairs with.

When I was young (ever so many eons ago), I insisted my husband wear his ring. It was important to me. Then I realized how much of a hassle it was to me to wear mine, since I worked on machines. He's a mechanic and it was even more dangerous for him to wear his. We still have our rings. But our fingers have grown so thick, they'd have to be resized. What's the point? He's married, with or without the ring. And I trust him. (I've also made it clear if he cheats on me there won't be any second chances. Not to mention what else I'll do to him. ) But those comments were years ago, back when I still had trust issues. After all he's put up with being married to me, the man deserves a medal.

Some men can not stand to wear rings of any kind. I am one of them. I do not wear rings. If people think I'm single, does it really matter. Nothing is going to happen. If women refused to wear a ring, I'm OK with that too. Rings have never been the glue that keeps people together.
