I don’t. Mу wedding bands constantly ɡеt іn mу way whеn I’m doing things around thе house (thе diamonds I ѕhουƖԁ ѕау ɡеt іn thе way) аnԁ I’ve even accidentally scratched mу kids wіth thе stones.
Sο I wear a plain, silver celtic twisted ring thаt mу husband gave mе whіƖе hе wаѕ іn Basic Training years ago. I wear thе diamond ring whеn wе ɡο tο church οr ɡο out somewhere special though. It doesn’t hυrt mу husband’s feelings аt аƖƖ thаt I don’t wear mу wedding rings everyday.
Hοw many οf уου hаνе уουr “alternative” ring thаt уου wear οn a daily basis οr ԁο уου јυѕt wear nο ring аt аƖƖ?
*Deans, I hаνе kind οf thе opposite problem. Mу rings аrе actually tοο bіɡ tοο rіɡht now аftеr having mу babies. I lost thе weight tοο quickly ѕο now mу size 7 rings аƖmοѕt fall οff! Thаt’s whу thеу аrе constantly getting іn mу way, lol.
Bυt mу celtic ring іѕ a perfect fit rіɡht now. I јυѕt don’t Ɩіkе leaving thаt finger open bесаυѕе I hаνе bееn hit οn whеn I ԁο. I want men tο know I’m taken

not when i sleep because i am afraid it is going to break because i have been married 11 years
I do the same basically – I have a small gold band my hubby picked up for me when I was pregnant because I couldn’t wear my diamond ring – since then I use the band when I’m working or around the house and don’t put the diamond on unless I’m going out or doing something special.
when at home i do not always wear it especially when cleaning, washing dishes, etc.
i do wear it to work on a daily basis.
I haven’t worn mine in 3 months. I lost one of the baguette diamonds on the side and if I wore it, I’d loose the other 3 on that side eventually. One more reason I’m waiting for my tax return, lol. I have a sapphire ring (birthstone) that I usually wear for now.
I mostly don’t wear a ring…we’ve been together for 10yrs…a ring is just a symbol..not gonna break us
I don’t have an alternative ring that I wear, but I don’t always wear my wedding and engagement bands if for some reason I have swollen fingers (like when i’m pregnant lol) or if i’m doing dishes or in the shower etc.
That is a really sweet alternative though!
I, unfortunately grew out of my rings when I was pregnant. They still don’t fit. I keep thinking of getting a band to replace it, but I really just want to lose the weight so I can wear them again. I don’t think it’s a big deal that I don’t wear it. My husband doesn’t wear his either. It would be dangerous in his line of work. Oh well. We know we’re married, so that’s all that really matters.
ETA: I’m so jealous right now. I still have quite a bit of weight to lose, and I’m too tired to think about adding this to my already full plate. Maybe when my son finally starts sleeping thru the night, I’ll have the motivation.
yes i wear my wedding ring all the time..other then when i get pregnant my fingers get real big and i dont want to keep gettin it sized…but other then that i think my husbands feelings would be hurt if i didnt..
I also don’t wear my rings when I’m at home. However, when I leave the house, even if it’s just to do errands, I will put on my rings. The engagement ring especially catches on things and gets in the way if I’m trying to do household chores. My husband knows that the rings are very special to me and that it’s not anything personal that I take them off at home.
Yes. Pretty much never leaves my finger.
I’m going to answer this question even though i’m not married. I do wear a ring that my bf gave me. It has small emeralds on it, and I do always wear it, all the time, except when i’m in the shower! …. Like i’ve said before the only thing missing is a piece of paper saying we are married!
Our wedding bands are very simple. I have no diamond (my engagement ring was diamond but I don’t wear that anymore). The ONLY time I take it off is when I take a shower, give the boys baths and wash dishes. As soon as those things are done, I put it back on. It fits, but its a little loose and I dont want to risk it falling off in water. My husbands needs sized (when we bought them, his was too big and I never took it back to exchange it) so he doesn’t wear his ATM. Plus he works with his hands so it might get ruined if he would wear it all the time.
I wear mine all the time.
For many years I just had a plain white- gold band, so nothing to scratch. A few years ago I upgraded (same husband, better ring!) to a band with inset stones (diamonds and sapphires). With this one too, the stones are below the surface, so they don’t scratch anything. I’ve only ever taken it off when I had surgery and had to remove all jewelry.
I used to wear my engagement ring, but it no longer fits me and I’ve never gotten around to getting it resized.
I go sans rings, mainly because I haven’t been able to wear my original set since Hannah was born & the replacement set always seems to be getting in the way (just like you said). He doesn’t mind, because he doesn’t wear his either (when he used to be a chef, he couldn’t because of sanitation reasons, since leaving the restaurant business he can’t because he keeps breaking out whenever he wears it….it almost looks like a chemical burn!).
I don’t wear my wedding ring all the time either, I should though because it is really nice. I find myself scratching my son while changing his diaper so it usually just sits on his dresser. I tried to explain this to my husband because he doesn’t like the fact that I don’t wear it. I try so hard to remember to put it on when we go places, but with trying to get everything together for a 3 month old I usually forget.
I wear mine all the time…unless I am cleaning…My husband doesn’t wear his all the time because of wear he works his band is nice and has diamonds and he doesn’t want to ruin it…
I don’t wear my rings that often because I do not like jewelry. My husband knows this and doesn’t get upset, heck he doesn’t wear his that often either. For both of us it is more special days we wear them or when we go out.
The way we look at it is yes the rings are nice but we do not need a ring on our hand all the time to know we are loved or to prove we love the other
I wear mine if I leave the house, but as soon as I get home I take it off. I just don’t like wearing it around the house. It doesn’t bother my husband because he does the same thing. He forgets to put his on at times when we go out and then we joke about him being single for the night or out with a married woman.
The only time I take mine off is when I am showering, cleaning, or sleeping. My husband never takes his off.
Got married 28 years ago in front of the judge and I have never owned a wedding ring. I don’t wear jewelry and wouldn’t wear it anyway.
I pretty much wear mine 24/7 unless I am doing something that could damage it or making something that would get under stone and get it nasty such as hamburgers. Even then as soon as I am done back on it goes. I almost feel naked if I don’t have it on. But that’s just me. I do know some people that don’t wear theirs regularly because they are scared of something happening to it. I just check mine often to make sure stone is still in it good. I do take it every now and then for a professional cleaning and they will check to make sure stone is secure. If not they make the necessary adjustments.
I wear mine everyday to work and if I leave the house. When I get home I usually take them off (Austin likes to mess with the diamond) and I never sleep in them.
I haven;t taken mine off since our wedding day
But it took a lot of getting used to as the stone is princess cut and sticks up, it does tend to get caught on stuff, but after 11 years it is still going strong
I am not married but if I was I think it would depend on how him and I felt about it.
I wear my wedding set to work everyday but immediately take them off when I arrive home to do housework. I can’t clean with those things on!!
All the time. I wear a simple silver band from Tiffany & Co so it doesn’t get in the way of anything. Not a jewelry, diamond type of gal. I guess I like to keep it simple. All I wear is the ring and sometimes my necklace to match it, that’s it.
Right now for some reason and this sounds absolutely crazy but it seems like my fingers are shrinking you would think being pregnant they would swell but my wedding band just won’t stay in place so rather than lose it it’s in my jewelry box.
I also have a band because I always end up scratching myself or others when I wore just fashion jewelry that stuck up. But my band has 4 diamonds in it and yes they do scratch me sometimes.
Your a bit of a brag “the diamonds I should say get in the way”
LOL jk
i wear them now. i’ve only had a stint about 6 mos worth were i didn’t wear them. they were too big and my husband was a butt. i think he was possessed by something. it was the worst time in our marriage actually.
i did have an alternate ring while i was pregnant. a cheapo ring to wear since my fingers swelled so bad.
Yep, it’s always on. Doesn’t get in the way, it’s just a band with diamonds, so nothing big sticking out!
Unless my hands are in water, it’s always on. I have these little wooden boxes I bought for a dollar scattered around the house: near the kitchen sink, in my bathroom, near the baby bath etc. I love my ring and there is a great value behind it for both me and him, not only just what it symbolizes, but the amount of work that went into saving for/buying it.
Just a few exceptions – not when mixing something like ground beef by hand to make burgers, or bread dough. Otherwise, always wear wedding band, along with e-ring, and anniversary ring on same finger.
For your too-big rings, just get them resized, it’s not costly.
For your diamond you think scratches, get the claws looked at by a good jeweller, they are probably just not sitting flush.
I don’t wear mine all the time. I intentionally take mine off before going to the shelter. My rings are fairly extravagant (not tooting my own horn) and I think its rude to flaunt my marriage to women who have been beat in theirs. I used to wear a plain band instead, but it was misplaced somehow during the move.
Usually I wear them, except when it’s winter time and my hands are SO dry. I have to apply lotion and use a paraffin wax spa a lot so sometimes I just leave them off then.
Right now my hands are slightly swollen from pregnancy so I’m wearing a band similar to what you described … something engraved and I can’t even remember where I got it. I wore it before we got married and my MIL was like “It looks like a wedding ring” with disapproval. Now I know why I bought it all those years ago – because I do wear it as a wedding ring when I’m to fat and bloated to wear my real rings! LOL
ETA: Just curious why some women don’t like to sleep with their rings on?
Yes, I wear my rings all the time. The only time they come off is when I clean them and when I put lotion on my hands. The only time they have been off for a long time was when I was pregnant and my fingers were to swollen to leave them on.
Most of the time I *can’t* get my wedding ring off anymore. Other than taking if off for a few seconds here and there, the last time I went without it was for two days 5 years ago to have a diamond replaced that had fallen out.
I have the same problem. The stone, a ruby, on my engagement band (mine is an intertwined engagement/wedding set that don’t come apart after “locking” them) catches on everything, causes snags on clothes, scratches people around the house, etc. So I never wear them around the house, only when I go out.
Also, cleaning chemicals and stuff used commonly around the house can have negative effects on jewelry, so it’s also to protect my rings from damage. I have a college class ring with no stones, very smooth with a very low profile, that I also remove for protection of the ring.
It would be nice to have something else to wear around the house, but my husband isn’t big into romantic gestures and I have gotten used to bare fingers in the house.
My GMIL is horrified that I ever remove my rings, she has never removed hers, ever, since marrying my GFIL in the 30s. I don’t think I’ve ever seen my own grandmother without hers, either.
