I feel like the title is pretty self explanatory. I’ve been married almost 20 years and my parents over 40 years. None of us wear the rings on any regular basis. We have them, we just wear them occasionally. Well, my dad never does because he only wears watches. It’s not a big deal. Nobody cheats and we’re all doing fine. No judgement for those who do, my brother and his wife always wear theirs. That’s fine too.

my parents over 50 years – my dad has lost his twice. Still remembers he’s married.
Wife and I got married this year. We rarely wear our actual rings. She’s a doctor and does surgeries nearly everyday, so taking off the rings everyday would be annoying
Me? I’m just a silly ole forgetful engineer working behind a desk or WFH. I rarely wear mine too. We always wear them on dates and stuff. But everyday? Nah
Also happy cake day
Neither me nor my wife do either. We both work with our hands a lot and just hate having rings or watches on.
Yeah, no ring ever stopped someone from cheating. I often leave mine on my desk when I’m working, but I also enjoy wearing it because it reminds of my cute, adorable wife, which makes me smile
(make sure your partner is aligned before you try this IRL, kids.)
I haven’t worn mine in almost 20 years. Quite honestly I just hated wearing it. I don’t like wearing rings, necklaces, or even watches, just too restrictive.
> No judgement for those who do, my brother and his wife always wear theirs. That’s fine too.
Tell me this has come up in discussion behind their backs without telling me
I love my ring. It looks good, is a fidget toy, and i can open bottles with it.
Why wouldnt I want to wear it?
I always thought that it was more for strangers to see so they could make a better informed choice on whether to hit on you or not lmao.
Saves everyone some time rather than to have a conversation about it.
This isn’t unpopular
It’s just an opinion
I love wearing my ring, but in my job it’s dangerous to wear it, so I had it tattooed. No ragrets!
I love mine. I’m just really proud to be married, it’s why I wear it.
I agree.
I think people can do any goddam thing they want, as long as it stays mostly within the confines of the law. Everyone speeds, so I had to say “mostly.”
My wife and I had ours tattooed and have never worn rings.
Neither of my parents wore rings and they’ve been married for over 40 years.
> No judgement for those who do, my brother and his wife always wear theirs. That’s fine too.
Wait wait wait what? This is the internet, you are supposed to follow up with a scathing analysis of people who do wear theirs, which culminates with a medical diagnosis per the DSM. What do you mean “the other sort of people are fine too”. Where do you think you are
We’ve been married for more than 40 years. We both carry our rings on our keychains now. I stopped wearing mine after a few years, but I can still feel it on my finger. We had to cut my wife’s original ring off when it got too small, and get a new one that fit properly.
Agreed; it’s an issue of fidelity.
Personally, as a very specific opinion that I’ve not seen anyone else hold: Wedding Rings should be tattooed. Use some quality, but relatively inexpensive rings for the ceremony, and later, get a ring tattooed on your finger. If marriage isn’t commitment, what is it?
I think it’s weird to not wear it. It’s like you’re trying to hide being married.
I wore mine when I first got married and it was a little too big for me but kept it on. Then covid happened and I was at home with the damn thing tapping on the keyboard constantly so took it off.
That was… 5 years ago and haven’t put it on since. Not actually sure where it is now.
I never even notice if anyone is wearing a ring or not.
Only my mom wears hers solely because it’s stuck on her finger
I wear mine because it’s got meteor pieces in it and it looks super cool
My husband never wears his. I wear mine occasionally. My parents never wear those. We are all happily married.
My parents lost both their wedding rings years ago down some storm drain lol. Never bothered to replace them bc by that time they had kids.
Married 13, together 21 years, we did get rings and did wore it maybe for a month and we just couldn’t get used to it and never wore it again.
Same for necklaces. Also have an Apple Watch used as a clock on my night stand. Just don’t like anything on me besides clothes.
My ex bought me a fancy engagement ring I rarely wore — it was so valuable I was afraid to damage it. It was the kind you have to keep behind a glass case. The plain gold wedding ring I wore daily. It depends in your context. If a ring is the sign of “unavailable” where you live then wear it, just make sure your behavior matches “unavailable” — otherwise it will encourage people that they can have fun with you without any commitment
I truly loathe wearing hand jewelry. Haven’t worn rings since the day we got married haha.
I do actually have to, it’s tattooed onto my finger.
I wear mine at all times as does my husband. Why wouldn’t we?
Agreed. As long as both people are okay with it, I think it’s fine. It’s their relationship. I know someone who doesn’t wear a ring because they don’t like wearing rings.
