Does you dh wear his wedding ring all the time?

[vhoffman]

************************************************** ***************

[PaulaSue]

He does unless he is setting up or tearing down for the shows. :goodvibes

He actally lost his original a few years ago. I was not upset that he did but after a year and it didn't show up I got him a new one. I really missed him wearing one.

[Mickey'sfriend]

My hubby wears his wedding band everyday. Hasn't taken it off.

[DBarber600]

Mine never wears his - and I did get his resized one year for Christmas! He did tell me he probably wouldn't wear it when we got married, so we bought the most inexpensive gold band.

Oh well, like Dr. Laura says, it's just jewelry!

[waltskids]

My DH wears his wedding band all the time.:)

[my2princessgirls]

My DH always wears his, except for when he is flying (he is a pilot in the Air Force and they are not allowed to wear it while flying), and when he is lifting weights in our house. When he is flying he puts his ring on his watch band so it is always with him.

I take mine off in the shower because it gets so slick I am afraid that I will lose it, and when I put lotion on (I don't want it to get all junked up!).

[TheDizMom]

The only time my DH takes his ring off is to shower. He has always worn it and the few times he forgot he says he felt like part of him was missing:love:. You have to love a man like that:hug:.

[MALE*RN*777]

Yes he does. I mean yes I do. HA HA!! If I'm working out in the mud or with cutting equipment I'll take it off but otherwise it stays on. To hard to get over swollen fingers.

[mericletwins]

Yes, mine wears it all the time.

[Mouse House Mama]

My dh wears his all the time. He only takes it off to shower etc. I on the other hand haven't been able to fit mine on in about 2 years!:rolleyes1 After I had my last child I never lost enough weight to get it back on and then I got pregnant again!:banana: I cannot have mine sized due to the style. After this child is born I plan on starting a rigorous exercise program so it should fit in no time! I miss wearing it!princess:

[beattyfamily]

My DH wears it always except to bed and in the shower.

[Stitchfans]

Yes, DH wears his all the time too.

[GEM]

Yep. DH wears his every minute of every day and night. He hasn't taken it off even for a minute since we were married. I'd like to say that it's for sentimental reasons, but, really, it's mostly because I've threatened him with bodily harm if he ever takes it off because I know he'd loose it almost immediately.

[stacy6552]

Honestly, it doesn't sound like a gift he would appreciate.

[MommaPooh]

Neither one of us does. We will be married 15 years on the 19th and I think we each wore them for about a week.

[klj27]

Mine never takes it off.

[Disney4Drew]

My DH doesn't wear his to work. He works in a mill, and it's not safe to have something that can get caught in the machinery. His ring is platinum and he put a nick in it the first time he wore it to work...never again. He puts it on when he comes home, though.

[Along4theRide]

My DH wears his all the time, to tell you the truth I don't think he can get it off his finger! The last time I saw that finger naked is before we were married!! I also bought him a promise ring (I had one too) and he hasn't taken that one off since I gave it to him! We've been together for 12yrs, married for 8 :)

Oh, and I only take mine off to put on lotion-I hate getting lotion in my rings!!

[becca011906]

Me and dh both wear ours 24/7, dh use to work where he had to take them off durring work and would wear it on special occation b/c he was worred (me too) that he'd lose it taking it off and on all the time.. so i kept it safe! LOL

[WantToGoNow]

No, he never wears it. Actually, he lost the first one. I bought him a replacement last year for our anniversary and he lost it after about a month. We found it, but I think he's had it on twice (for church). It sits on the ring holder.

[homedad]

I have taken mine off once in 9 years of marriage, for my double lung-transplant surgery

[pjb_hockey_mom]

My husband wears his all the time.

When my grandfather became very sick, had lost a lot of weight, his ring got so big that it sarted to bother him (sliding off, rolling around on his finger, etc). We had to tape it on his finger because after 60 years of wearing it he wouldn't take it off. sweet.

[Mom2tmha]

I wear mine 24/7...on the other hand, dh never wears his except for special occassions and we are married almost 20 years.

[susykt4]

Never. He can't wear it at work so just stopped wearing it altogether about 10 years ago when he got his current job. No problem with me.

[Hannathy]

My DH never wears one. In fact he never even got one. He said he wasn't going to wear it so why waste the money buying one.

[Tosie]

Yes, he wears his. I don't wear mine.

[Tink561]

My dh wears his all the time.

[Grendalynn]

We both wear our wedding bands/rings all day, everyday. I only take mine off to clean them in jewely cleaner. Dear Husband has never taken his bands off, despite welding himself to a racecar chassis. Needless to say, he was and is way more carefule now when welding! Actually he has only taken his off once or twice,just to read the inscription on the inside of the band. But immediatly put it right back on. It will be 10 years in September.

[all4fun]

My father never wore his wedding band so when I was about to get married, he gave it to me. Now my dh wears it, every day.

[Darcy03231]

Dh doesn't wear one. He works in construction and it can be dangerous. He will wear it when we're on vacation or for special occasions.

[kribit]

Hasn't taken it off in 10 years...either of us. :)

[LaraK]

DH wears his rings at all times. Once, he lost his ring. He was so upset we went to the mall and bought him a new one...of course he found the "real" ring on the way home from the mall (it was under a seat in the car)...so now he also has a spare.

I always wear my wedding band, I take my engagement ring off when I get home so that I don't cut the kids or DH with the diamond which really sticks up pretty high from the ring.

[GroovyWheeler]

Mine does too, although since he has lost some weight since our ceremony last summer, it keeps sliding off his finger. We thought we lost it once, in our bedroom, as that was the last place he remembered having it, but we found it pretty quickly. For me, I have both my wedding ring and engagement ring on my ring finger, and they seem to stay on pretty well, even though they are a little bit loose, and my fingers are smaller than average-size fingers.

Samantha

[Davidsmommy]

I just asked dh - he says the only time he takes it off is sometimes when he washes his hands (and there is something underneath it) - but he doesn't take it off normally - he wears it all the time.

I, on the other hand, haven't worn my rings (engagement, wrap, and wedding band) since I got pregnant with our daughter (like 3 1/2 years ago). They don't fit. :( And, I hesitate to get them resized, since I have already had them resized once after I had my son.

I probably will soon though....

[NATALIEBELLESmom]

Mine wears his everyday. It will be ten years in Dec.

[eeyorelori]

Well its like this my hubby is a farmer so he could get caught on all types of things so we decided that it was ok not to wear it ..We both got inexpensive ones ..He wore his, his first day back to work after we eloped and he lost it not even 24 hrs ...He wanted to show off we got married ..But he lost it ...Never did find it ..I bought him a really inexpensive one and he only wears it when we go out or something he dresses up to .
.If he wouldnt wear it much i wouldnt spend a whole lot on it ...Shame to sit on a ring stand after you put alot of effort into it ...

[MSSANDRA]

DH can not wear his to work so he wears it just on the week-end. It is really sweet because he always brings it to me to put back on. I NEVER take mine off. For a while it was too tight to come off but now it can come off but I do not take it off.

[MomofKatie]

DH wears his 24/7. He lost his first one- throwing the football around in the front yard. We think our friends' dog must have eaten it, lol!

I bought him a replacement and told him if he lost it, I'd have the next one inserted through his nose like a bull:lmao: . Must have scared him, because he never takes it off.

I usually always wear my engagement and wedding rings, but have not been wearing the engagement ring for a few months. I noticed that one of the prongs was damaged, and I was afraid the diamond would fall out if I continued to wear it. I really need to get it to a jewelry repair place- I miss seeing it.

When we go on vacation, I wear a cheap QVC Diamonique set- I don't want to lose the real things in the ocean, on the road, or at WDW!!

[AliciaS]

Neither of us have taken our wedding rings off. It's been 15 years. Of course, we can't because they are celtic knotwork puzzle rings and would fall apart! It would take me a year to get mine back together!

[Echo queen]

[QUOTE=vhoffman;17020686]Just a little informal poll I'm taking here.

My dh only wears his wedding ring for special ocassions, like something you get dressed up for. He says his cue is if I put on pantyhose, its a dress-up ocassion:rotfl2:

If my dh waited for hose he would never wear it:rotfl2:

Ok, we both wear our rings everyday. 16 years :love:

[hogue123]

My husband never takes his off :love:

[nettii]

My Dh fell off the bow of a boat when we were first married and his ring got caught, it almost took his finger off. It was bad! So he only wears it when we go out. :hug:

[mrsmom]

My dh and i both wear ours 24/7 for almost 22 yrs, Infact his broke a month ago and he wanted to go right to the jewelers to get a new one , and we did.
Kim

[MinnieGi]

12 years and DH wears it 24/7. He has taken it off on occasion while doing work that may harm it of him. :) I however have not worn mine since our second child was born 2 years ago. I haven't lost enough weight! I know I can get it resized but of course I want to loose the weight!!! I think I may have to just swallow my pride and get it resized - I do miss wearing it.

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

My husband doesn't wear his...he says it makes it too hard to pick up chicks :lmao: The fact he's put on a few pounds and it doesn't fit anymore is just coincidence ;)

[tjlovespooh]

DH and I have been married for 4 years and he has NEVER taken it off (yet). I, on the other hand, have not worn my rings since pregnancy. My fingers swell by the fifth month and unfortunately they haven't gone down since:sad1: DS is over a year and I'm still hoping that losing the last 15lbs of pregnancy weight will help me "fit" into my rings again!:yay:

[fan_of_small_world]

DH only takes his off when he lifts at the gym (because when he didn't it got pretty banged up). I only take mine off for the gym, pottery class, and when I'm making something with ground beef (yuck!). We both keep them on at night and in the shower.

[hvivona]

Mine wears his all the time. He takes it off at night, but the minute he gets out of bed that's the first thing he reaches for. I love him for that! He says that the ring is a symbol of his love and affection for me that is unending, just like the ring is unending. I love my man!!:hug:

[SunKat]

My husband only wears his for special occasions. He's not a jewelry person, he doesn't even wear a watch. It'll be 25 years in April! :love:

[mom2zoejane]

My husband has 2 rings, one we got married with, then picked one out less fancy and more his style. He doesn't wear either of them. I'm not big on jewelry most of the time, so I don't wear my rings all the time either. I guess it's just personal choice. But, I do understand why many men do not wear a ring...many work with heavy equipment, tools etc. In case of accidents with many types of industrial machinery or tools, a ring would really be dangerous.

[CleveRocks]

I married my bride 15.5 years ago, never taken off my ring for more than a few minutes at a time.

[fireman26m]

Here's a post from a DH ;) I never wear one. As a fireman, we rarely wear any jewelry for obvious and not so obvious reasons (had a friend lose a finger when his ring got caught on a hose coupling). So for me, it's just a habit from work. But IMO if I didn't NEED to not wear it I certainly would wear it. :cool2:

-Mike

[Luv Bunnies]

We both wear our rings everyday. We do take them off at night. I store mine in my jewelry box and he puts his on his nightstand with his watch. We both put them back on again when we get dressed in the morning. We've been married almost 19 years!

[Longsx3]

Yes DH always wears his ring, even when he was in Iraq.

[bear_mom]

My dh wears his on his right hand. He lost weight and it will stay on his right hand, but on his left hand it slides right off. He also doesn't wear it when he is skiing (he lost it once) or mountain biking.

Emily

[pixie dust 112]

Mine wears his. He only takes it off when he plays basketball.

[Oceana]

No he doesn't

DH's ring was his grandfathers and it is quite beautiful... we have 2 wild kids who love to wrestle and DH also works in computers so he types and fiddles with wires all day and a ring could knock something out of the way.

My rings are my grandmothers... beautiful 100 year old diamonds. I am a full time hands on dirt playing mom and I dont wear my rings either... they are just appropriate for my job.

Our marrige is more than just rings, the rings are the symbol for the outside world not for us... what everyone else thinks is very unimportant

we have 15 years under our belts without rings

julie

[Sunny37]

Yes, my DH wears his all of the time. He hasn't taken it off since we got married.:thumbsup2

[Paull117]

I am a DH and I wear mine all the time except to bed, working out, or doing anything constructive(gardening, working with greasy things, and hunting). I am a programmer so it doesn't get in the way of my job so I wear it everywhere. My dad is a farmer and he never wears his, too afraid of getting it caught in something.

I did break my finger at my DD6 birthday party and before my finger swelled up I took the ring off. I am glad I did because I wasn't able to wear it for 2 months from the swelling of the joint. I could tell my DW was not liking the fact I was not wearing it. She kept asking about it. All that is done so I am back to wearing it. I really missed it, I like looking at it sometimes during the day. There are a couple dings and scratches on it, but that just reminds me of everything DW and I have been threw. Kids, buying the house, and every vacation is in those scratches.

[perdidochas]

Just a little informal poll I'm taking here.

My dh only wears his wedding ring for special ocassions, like something you get dressed up for. He says his cue is if I put on pantyhose, its a dress-up ocassion:rotfl2:

Well, I wear my rings all the time. I do take them off to shower, etc., although many women never remove them. I'm afraid of them slipping off while my hands are in water. But its just my habit to put my rings on in the morning, has been ever since we got married--23 years!:hug:

However, dh never wore his on a daily basis. He's an electrical engineer, says that gold is a great conductor of electricity and a great way to get your *** fried! Well, I suspect he now can't get them on, anyways. Dh has put on a few pounds, well.....so have I. I had my engagement ring sized, but can't enlarge the wedding band due to the style (it still fits, fortunately). Dh's is a matching style, so it can't be enlarged, either.

I was thinking of buying him a new wedding band for our 25th anniversary, in about 2 years (gotta sell a lot of stuff on Ebay for that!). But if he never wears it anyways...............don't know if its a size thing or just that guys don't wear wedding bands everyday?

So, how about the rest of you? Do your hubbys wear their wedding bands every day?

I'm a hubby, and I wear my wedding ring at all times. However, I don't work with machinery, don't do surgery, and don't work with electricity. If I did any of those, I would probably not wear a wedding ring at all times.

If your hubby is still a hands-on EE, I'd skip it. If he's an office EE, think about it.

[HotMama]

My DH wears his wedding band all the time, he never takes it off:love:

[MomToAp1699]

Neither one of us does. We will be married 15 years on the 19th and I think we each wore them for about a week.

Neither my DH or I where ours either, His was orginally sized too large, and since he works with food he has to take it off each day anyway..so we never bothered to spend the money to resize it, there are other uses for money. And mine, Jewelry makes my skin crawl, anything at all touching my skin makes me sick to my stomach. So I only wear it on special occasions.

[Befferk]

Dh told me before we got married that he probably wouldn't wear his all the time, he works at a lumber mill. I didn't think much about it. After we got married, he NEVER took it off for the longest time. One time he did for like a minute, and I looked at his finger, it was like the skin was coming off under the ring because when he would shower or wash his hands he would never move the ring and the moisture stayed between the skin and the ring. I told him he should at least take it off to dry his hands. I still don't think he ever takes it off for anything, I have never NOT seen it on his hand. Very sweet!

We are also both firefighters, when I am doing something with the department, I only wear my wedding band, not engagement ring because it sticks up too far. But I always have at least my band on.

:wizard: Beth

[NemoMOm]

Mine does and he has no choice in the matter!:rotfl2: But, he does complain that when he works out that it gets beaten up, so if your DH is using his hands I could see why he would not want to.

[lillygator]

Yep, DH wears his all the time, even playing ball. I think the bat has dented it into his finger at this point!

[jennilouwho]

Mine doesn't. He can't stand the feel of it. He also won't wear watches.

[KirstenB]

DH is also an electrical engineer, OP. He wears his, except when he has to go on a job site (it's a hazard, same way a necktie, long hair, etc would be). He creates/modifies automation equipment for large manufacturing facilities, so he often has his hands in moving parts.

[Jen_in_NH]

We are also both firefighters, when I am doing something with the department, I only wear my wedding band, not engagement ring because it sticks up too far. But I always have at least my band on.

:wizard: Beth

I've found at the fire station I can leave them both on, but have to turn the engagement ring to face my palm. My husband doesn't wear his on his hand - he has it on a chain around his neck, and only takes that off at night. He works full time as a firefighter, and part time as a plumber / electrician. His odds of losing a finger or burning himself are too good - safer around his neck under his clothes.

Jen

[momofbgtwins]

My DH wears his except when he's performing surgery (afraid to tear his gloves) or scuba diving (attractive to fish).

[Tinkerbelle99]

My Dh always wears his, although if he thought it wouldnt hurt my feelings he would leave it at home and just break it out for those 'special occasions'.

While I know that it is a peice of jewlery and a band of gold does not make or break a relationship, it just means alot to me for him to wear it. as silly as it may sound.

I never take mine off, first i could not bear to part with it for even a moment. and well now, its just gotten harder to take off because of some extra pounds, I am getting myself back in step to better health and look forward to taking it off for a moment. how funny is that...:rotfl:

[ncbyrne]

DH and I both wear our rings all the time. My original band was wide and I hated it as my skin was always "wrinkly" under the ring. I bought a plain gold in the same thickness as my solitare engagement ring and I haven't taken it off since. Actually, I can't get the wedding ring off anymore, so I don't even try.
However, neither of our fathers ever had wedding bands. My father never wore any type of jewelry at all and my mother was fine with that.

[boysmom5150]

My DH only takes it off to shower otherwise it is always on!!!Just where I like it..

[rhonhod]

DH wears his all the time. Even though it is not exactly a circle anymore.
He wears it. I wear mine all the time too, even though my fingers swell I asked DH 2 years ago if he would buy me a white gold band 2 sizes bigger than my yellow gold band, so when my fingers swell I still have a wedding band on. He did and he also bought me a three stone diamond ring to go with it. He's the greatest!!

[pbharris4]

Yes, my Dh has only ever taken his wedding ring off once or twice since we've been married because of a computer or something computer related he was working on. He almost lost it so he never took it off after that. It is I who takes it off more often. It gets caught on things (the engagement ring)and it scratched my DD a few times. I wear it when I go out.

[Chris]

Yes he does.
I do too but not to bed.

[ilovepooh]

DH never takes his off. I take mine off when I get home, and put it on before I leave the house. :love:

I don't like to cook, or clean with it on, and I'm afraid to scratch DS when playing with him, etc.

[Steph9072]

My dh wears his all the time. He lost it one time when he took it off doing plumbing or his Mom. Since then he has not taken it off. As a matter of fact he would have to really work to get it off.

[princess~yo]

DH doesn't wear his to work. His original thin gold band bent too easily and he was afraid he'd damage it permanently, so we bought him a $20 ring that's thicker and a lot sturdier, but he still only wears it when he's not at work.

[aes74]

My husband forgets here and there, and after 10 years, I realize it's nothing and don't take it seriously. I wear mine out of the house, but as I am not a big jewelry person, I take my rings off as soon as I walk in the door! Especially when its summer here in FL, hot and humid, and my fingers swell...then I really can't wait to take the off!

[graygables]

DH is on his 2nd one. As long as James Avery is in business, he'll be happy! He's a contractor and wearing gloves all day wore his first, deeply patterned ring smooth, so we had to get him a 2nd one. In the winter, it used to slip off in his glove, so we got him a 1/2 size smaller narrow band that he wears in front of his wedding band to keep it on. :love:

[grumpyvet]

Yes he does, except when he works on the car. I wear mine always,except when I am in surgery.
I threatened him when we first go tmarried, that he either wore his, or I would take mine off and flirt with boys!!!

[kaysmommie]

My DH wears his all the time. I take mine off at night because my hands swell. DH is a salesperson so for someone who is a mechanic or electrician I can totally understand why they wouldn't wear it all the time.

[Wickedmom75]

Dh and I will have been married for 13 years in May, up until 8 years ago he wore his wedding band 24/7 . In October of 1998 he cut off half his thumb and badly damged his index finger, when they took him into surgery to take care of his fingers the nurse handed me his wedding band and I have had it since. I don't always wear my band and anniversary ring, sometimes my hands will swell and sometimes I take it off to do something and forget about it for a week or more :rolleyes1

[pixiepower1971]

Dh wears his all the time. It looks like it has been through a war!(well, I guess it has been through one and a few conflicts!) It is scratched, dented and bent. He loves it! He takes it off and puts it in a safe place if required by what he is doing at work. When he is home he wears it 24/7.

I only wear mine when I leave the house. I take them off as soon as I walk in the door.

[ladysoleil]

DH also had to have his cut off due to an accident. He broke two fingers and they sawed it right off his hand. He got it repaired and still wears it, although neither one of us sleeps in our rings. Too easy to lose them that way. The jeweler did a nice job of fixing it, and even made it a bit bigger since his finger is a little bigger since the breakage. You can see a tiny tiny line if you look at it really closely, but hey, it gives it character. I tell him these days if I see him take the ring off, I'll break his finger again. :rotfl:

[mom2my3kids]

Nope only on special occasions. He works construction so he destroyed his first wedding ring, we got him another and he hardly ever wears it.

[bedgraynexl]

I wear mine 24/7 also. To me it has become a part of me and I feel wierd without it. DW will go without hers occasionally but we both pretty much wear them all the time.

Hubby cut his off while on the job (at the time he was an ac mechanic for biiiiig ac units ,a fan shroud was supposed to keep him from touching the fan but it was the wrong size) soooo... now I call him Stumpy :love: and wear his band. He has offered to get a band Tattooed on his finger but I declined, with the metal pins he had running through his fingers and the contraption they made to put his fingers in traction to hold the pins , I think the poor man has had enough metal in and on his body to last a lifetime :rotfl:

[MomofKatie]

neither one of us sleeps in our rings. Too easy to lose them that way.

I'm always confused by people that say you can lose your rings if you sleep in them:confused3 . How? Are they really loose, and you think they might fall off? If they are that loose, I'd be more worried they would fall off during the day, when I'm actually moving my hands around. IMO, I would be more likely to lose my ring if I took it off and put it back on every day- I'd have more chance of it disappearing.

[Mommy2K&H]

We both always wear ours. He has never removed his and I only have at the end of each pregnancy when it was too tight to wear.

[mvazul]

DH and I wear our rings all the time. DH never takes his off. I only take mine off to put on lotion or if I'm making hamburgers. Other than that, they're on 24/7.

[bzzymom]

My DH lost his rather expensive gold band about 3 weeks after our wedding. He was playing softball, and his friend the week before got hit in the hand and his ring bent and had to be cut off, so DH takes off his band and hides it is his gym bag and never saw it again. I was upset at the time, because he was afraid to tell me, so he waited until I noticed. I then bought him a "cheapy" for $75 and he still wears it 11 years later.

I am an ICU nurse, and my wedding set is marquise and sits up very high. I bought a band which has channel set diamond in it to wear to work. It has no sharp edges. I wear that most of the time. I wear my wedding set for good occasions, and on vacation.

[CampbellScot]

He dang well better!;) Yes he does...he never takes it off unless he's playing basketball. Other than that, it's always on...in the shower, when he sleeps. He says it feels "funny" to not have it on!!:love:

I don't wear my mine constantly though. My engagement ring snags on things when I'm doing laundry or whathaveyou...and I work with austistic kids and the "sparkle" really distracts some of them. :lmao: I do wear my rings whenever we go out, but around the house I usually don't...I take them off before bed too. I would hate to lose those things!!!

[rpbert1]

I wear mine all the time, DW has offered to buy me a new one as it is looking a bit worse for wear, but i am happy with the one i have.

[gemilina]

My hubby is also an electrical engineer and when he worked in a plant he too wouldn't wear his wedding ring (actually jewellery of any kind was not allowed). Rings can help to contribute to getting hurt if you are around an electrical source.

Now that my hubby has a desk job he wears his ring all the time :)

[tea4sanity]

My husband didn't wear his ring for the first 10 years, only for special occaisions. He worked with inmates and after a few fights decided it was a bad idea. They were also warned about disclosing to much personal info. As he got promoted he began wearing it more. Now he wears it every day since he spends more time doing paperwork. He takes it off to shower and at the fire house at times. We have been married for 17.5 years.

A few weeks ago DH was shaving and DD(4) was in teh bathroom watching him like always. She picked up the ring and asked what it was (also typical, I guess she expects a difference answer?:confused3 ) "That's my wedding ring. It means I love mommy. Be careful you don't lose it" DD answered "Yeah. If you lose it she won't believe you any more!" DH cut himself shaving LOL

I have not been able to wear my rings for a few years. I didn't like not wearing one. I bought a ring on ebay for $25 in Jan 2004. I keep thinking about getting my rings resized but just have not gotten around to it yet.

My brother wears his everyday. In the summer he takes it off and throws it in the pool and then dives for it. He did it once and had to spend 3 hours looking for it. My SIL was NOT amused!:rotfl:

[mtemm]

dh does, I don't. I wear it if I go out, but I tend not to wear jewelry around the house. that may change when the kids are older (right now, I change so many diapers and constantly seem to be washing stuff/cleaning stuff).

[scouthawkk]

Hubby cut his off while on the job (at the time he was an ac mechanic for biiiiig ac units ,a fan shroud was supposed to keep him from touching the fan but it was the wrong size) soooo... now I call him Stumpy :love: and wear his band. He has offered to get a band Tattooed on his finger but I declined, with the metal pins he had running through his fingers and the contraption they made to put his fingers in traction to hold the pins , I think the poor man has had enough metal in and on his body to last a lifetime :rotfl:

This is exactly why I won't let DH wear his during the week. He, too is an HVAC engineer. I have seen pictures of what can happen when they wear rings (or any kind of jewerly) and it gets caught in the equipment:scared1: Not pretty, that's for sure. I wear his ring with mine, and give it back to him the minute we are together again and he doesn't have to go to work the next day. He hates having to hand it over, but I don't want to take the chances.

[U2_rocks!]

Mine wears his on a chain around his neck, due to the hazards of wearing it while working.

[Deesknee]

DH does, but I don't usually. My fingers swell terrible at night. Then I usually forget to put it on in the afternoon. Dh understands, as I tell him anyone who knows me knows I'm married. There is no question. You only have to know me a few minutes before I begin to talk about my family. DH uses the fact I rarely wear in order to not buy me jewelry. lol

I have an older gentleman friend. Who was in a bit of a panic last Sunday as he had "lost" his wedding band. He did find it. Apparently, it had gotten caught in the fitted bed sheet when he was changing them. He said he had not taken it off in 57 years!!! WOW, no wonder he felt, as he said, "naked".

[bigbabyblues]

My DH wears his just about all the time. He's learned not to wear it when he's cutting firewood finally, he had to have it cut off THREE times. They told him they wouldn't be able to fix it again.

[DisneyBaby2004]

I wear mine all day but when I get home I take it off. DH is an Mechanic for BMW and never wear it because of his job. He doesn' t wear it at home/weekends either. We have been married 10 years (April).

[kimisabella]

DH doesn't wear his every day - he only wears his for specially occasions. I wear mine every day except for the winter since my hands are so dry it actually hurts to wear the rings.

[Becky2005]

;) Should I admit that neither of us wear our rings?

DH rarely wore it to start with...he has no excuse other than he doesn't like jewelry. He doesn't even wear a watch. So, it is what it is.

I on the other hand, took them off during my 1st pregnacy when it started get snug since I didn't want them cut off and well....ummm....they don't fit. I don't want to get them re-sized (to think I had them sized down when we got them) until I'm 100% sure my weight isn't going to change again (as I somehow think I'm going to lose this extra "baby weight" that I've been carrying around for almost 13 years). One of these years I will get back to wearing them again.

I'm thinking if your DH doesn't wear his ring now, only for special occassions even if you get him a new one, he's not going to wear that one either.

[Becky2005]

My husband doesn't wear his...he says it makes it too hard to pick up chicks :lmao: The fact he's put on a few pounds and it doesn't fit anymore is just coincidence ;)

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: You hubby has it wrong -- if he puts the ring on somehow it will pick up chicks. I always laugh because at DH's old work, the girls would say "hello" and be considerate but once they found out he was married, he said they would just chat up a storm with him like they were pals while he was baffled as to why they were just blabbering on (he gets enough blabbering from me, so he has learned the artform of just tuning them out as need be. :lmao: :lmao: ).

[monorailsilver]

He doesn't wear it at night when he goes to bed or when he takes a shower & he does take it off when he does yard work now since he lost it but found it with a metal detector, thank goodness!

He got diamonds so he'd wear it.

[DVCJones]

Yes!!! All the time.:)

[rt2dz]

DH wears his most of the time. Not when he is working out, doing lawn work or other work around the house, showering, sleeping--that kind of thing. But just out and about running errands, at work, etc, he wears it.

I, on the other hand, never wear mine. The center stone in my engagement ring scratches the kids and my wedding band needs some repairs (it is diamond channel set, and the diamonds are slipping). I think one of the prongs on my engagement ring is also loose, so that needs to be checked.

[stargrazer]

DH wears his all the time. There is a rare occasion that he'll take it off for a few hours if his hands are bothering him, but that's it. I never take mine off either...just a habit. I don't wear an engagement ring, just the band. I'm glad he wears it, he's hot and doesn't need MORE attention, lol.
:goodvibes

[kileybeth]

nope. married 20plus years tho :)

we both had them resized one Christmas as we had not worn them for about 3 years. I started wearing mine again everyday but he never could get used to his. H ecan't wear it for some of th eelectrical work he does. . .
I actually wish he did but since he doesn't. . .

I wear it for him! yup, my band, my engagement ring and then his band, really pretty! lots of people comment on how nice "my" rings are!

alas,they are all 3 to big on me again and I will soon have to find a new solution.

[Kahana-ri]

yes, everyday since we got married.

[Daytona99]

My husband wore his for a couple of months after we were married 10 years ago, then started to break out in a rash all over his finger. He's tried to wear in several times since, but every time, it causes a rash. Oh well. I wear mine all the time.

[AllesonWonderland]

All the time! When he was in a band it was getting bent up (soft metal) from the drumming and loading gear, so he suggested we look for another one for him to wear when he played. Got a nice titanium band off of ebay. ;)

[jennifer293]

DH does not wear his because of his job..he is a firefighter..1. it is a heat conductor, and 2. he witnessed a guy getting off the fire truck one day and his ring got caught on a piece of metal and it ripped his finger right off...:faint: so we both agreed it was OK for him to not wear it..Not to mention he has gained over 100 lbs since we got married so it doesn't fit anymore!!!:goodvibes

[Ilovefozzie]

My DH wears his all the time. :) He told me when looking at rings that he would never wear it. But he has never taken it off.

We will be married 12 years Sunday. :love:

[cinjam]

Yes. A few years ago he lost quite a bit of weight & lost it only to find it a few weeks later! Then, he lost it AGAIN!!...and never found it. I bought him a new one (the exact same one actually) as soon as we were sure it was not going to turn up.

[kennyfan]

My husband doesn't wear his very often. He is a mechanic for the State Highway Dept. and they have a policy of not wearing rings at work (this came about after one guy almost lost his finger due to ring getting caught while working) so it just depends on the situation if he puts it on or not. The ring isn't what makes a marriage....

[meandtheguys2]

All of the time.

[addicted_to_WDW]

Mine does, but mostly because it is too much work to get it over his knuckle. :rotfl:

I'm the one who doesn't always wear mine. I really don't like to wear rings because they get in the way.

[cristit14]

Nope, neither one of us wear them all of the time.

[Starr W.]

He wears his all the time, I had to take mine off when I was pregnant x2.
