My hubby was wearing his every time he left the house, up until he deployed to the Middle East. He stopped wearing it while he was over there due to the sand constantly getting in it. He was home recently on R&R, and wore it whenever he left the house, so I''m sure when he comes back he''ll start wearing it again just like before...

I don''t mean to threadjack, but I just wanted to say that I hope you''re hanging in there ok, ImpatientOne. I lived with a friend while her husband was deployed for 15 months and it was hard for me to merely witness, so I can only imagine how difficult it is to live like that. I hope your husband will be home soon, darlin''.

As for the topic, I think J will probably wear his ring. We talked a year or two ago about it--I asked him if he would want to wear a ring, because he''d said he doesn''t really wear jewelry, and he said that a wedding band is different. I also asked what he wanted it to look like--what kind of metal, what size, what style, if he''d want stones or not--and he said all he wanted was for it to look just like mine, so that it''s clear to people looking that he''s paired up with me and not someone else. I thought that was cute, since I don''t think people often try to pair people up by rings alone, but hey, whatever makes him happy.

DH has NEVER taken his off since I placed it on his finger during our ceremony. He doesn''t wear any other jewelery. One of our daughters asked to see it one time, and he slid it to the VERy end of his finger, and she tried to take it all the way off and he said nope, mommy put that ring there and it''s never coming off. I think it''s sweet. It''s 2 tone, it looks like 3 2mm bands stacked but it''s really all 1 ring, WG in the center with YG on either side. Luckily it''s about 8-9mm and very thick, because I don''t think he''s ever parting with it. It is very dinged and scratched, he works in construction and his hobby is restoring old cars, so it''s seen a lot of wear, but I think it makes it even more special. I asked him is he wanted a new one for our 10 yr since I got an anniversary ring, and he looked at me like I had 3 heads!
 
24/7, it never comes off his finger which is why he switched to a tungsten band.
 
MH wears his w-band all the time...the only times he takes if off is when he goes to the gym/plays sports and/or when he takes a shower. He also says he feels weird if he doesnt have it on....I think he actually enjoys his bling!!!!

HI:

I think the first time my DH took his WB off since our wedding, he lost it diving in Belize; otherwise he wears it 24/7 (actually he wears two think bands, one 24K, one platinum).

cheers--Sharon
 
My DH never takes off his wedding band. At least I have never seen him take it off. It''s also the only ring he wears. He does wear a yellow gold necklace with snake that his grandfather made for him.
 
My husband wears his all the time. The only exception is when he is baking.

I bought him a new ring at our 15 year anniversary because his original ring was getting tight and could not be sized as it was handmade by him.

Hubby wears his wedding band all the time except for when he is exercising, working with chemicals, when he takes a shower, or when I make him take it off so I can play with his ring (it''s cool!)

The ring that DH was married with was stolen during a robbery a few years ago; all the jewellery was taken very quickly one July afternoon. We weren''t in the house at the time, thank goodness. The original ring had an embossed pattern on it - quite simple really. I replaced it with another with 3 tiny diamonds (F, VS) which he wears only on weekends, or when we''re going out.

The day after our 45th anni, he started wearing a simple gold band which I had bought him for Christmas the year we were married. I intended it to be a ring he could wear to work, but that didn''t happen as he is a tradesman and said that it was too dangerous to wear it on the job. I saw the sense in that, but was a little hurt anyway. Forward almost 45 years, he''s still working part-time and out comes the plain gold band. Why did he wait all those years? Who knows?

My hubby has a gorgeous white gold and titanium wedding band that he only wears when we are at a social gathering, or out for dinner together, etc. It really does drive him batty, plus he''s an electrician and cannot wear it to work. I bought him a thickish silver chain to wear around his neck just before our wedding because he thought he''d like to wear his wedding ring on it. I know it''s because he hates wearing it on his hand (he hates wearing watches, too) but he tells me he wears it on a chain because it sits "right next to his heart".

I couldn''t give a hoot really! Doesn''t bother me in the least.
 
My husband wears his wedding ring all the time. I think he takes it off for gardening... I don't know for sure as I run a mile if the garden needs work!

My DH wears his 24/7...we have been married 11 years (next month) and I have not seen him without it on since our wedding day.
 
My husband cannot wear a watch or ring to work because of company rules (he is the plant manager and works in the office, but he still sometimes has to go see someone in the plant). He does wear his original yellow gold plain band on the weekends when we go somewhere.
 
my hubby wears his 24/7.

Thanks, Gwendolyn! He was able to come home for 18 days for R&R and was here for our anniversary, but I had to put him on a plane to go back just yesterday!

Yeah, it's hard, but we're almost to the half way point now! He'll be home again in December when the deployment ends, and I am just taking it one day at a time.
 
My husband is currently not wearing his because he''s in the middle east! He didn''t take it with him, and it''s sitting on his night stand so I get to see it every day. When he''s home he wears it pretty much all of the time, but we both usually take our rings off for bed. Unless he''s sleeping he wears his, while I also take mine off to do heavy gardening, working out with weights, and sometimes when bathing or working with dough in the kitchen (I have eternity bands.)
 
My Dad, and my FIL both wear their wedding bands.

Luckily, my husband loves his wedding band, and the only times he doesn''t wear it are when he''s working outside, washing his car, or if it''s at the jewelers for a polish or something.
 
I used to have a round polished titanium ring that got all scratched up after just a few months, so I never wore it because it lost its luster and shine. Disappointed, my wife got me a tungsten carbide ring that is very scratch resistant and I haven''t taken it off since. That was over a year ago, and it still looks great today.

My hubby wears his when he isnt at work, he is a machinest and rings and machines do not get along very well, lol.
 
My hubby also cannot wear his wedding ring or watch, due to his job. He does wear it on weekends if we go out.

My parents weren''t married, so they never wore wedding rings (although my dad does wear fashion rings!). DH wears his everywhere: sleep, shower, work, fun... He''s actually on his second ring (both titanium) because he felt the last one wasn''t loose enough.
1.gif
He''s so cute. When I mentioned having extra mm width with my reset, and having a hard time getting used to it, he said smugly, "I LOVE my ring, and I never had to get used to it." He''s such a card. My FIL passed away more than ten years ago (before I was in the picture), but my MIL wears all her rings still (despite nosy friends telling her to take them off so she could meet someone new), even switching to her FIRST e-ring (love this family) when her upgraded ring got too big (she is resizing).
 
Dh rarely wears his......usually just for social occasions, and whenever he does he just fidgets with it constantly. It drives me nuts. Neither my mom or dad have wedding rings, but have been happily married for 35 years.
 
My DH has actually turned the car around on his way to work and gone back for his ring. He won't leave home without it if he can help it. This from a man who never wore anything 'jewelry', except for tie tacks, before marriage! He will wear his to bed, while I put mine in their box.

My parents had to replace their original bands after 21 years of marriage because they had worn them 24/7 from 1958 to 1979. Dad's had almost worn through.
 
I believe that when I bought my ultrasonic cleaner (6 months ago), my husband 'allowed' me to clean his ring for the first time in our marriage...22 years.

So it was rather dirty but made me feel good to see that I had to really ask nice to get him to remove it for cleaning.

i use to wear my 1.47ct solitaire everyday until it was taken away from me in a robbery.

I wish, but he gets bothered by thick rings because they don''t allow his finger to breathe. I love the way simple gold wedding bands look on men and wish he would change his mind, but that''s how he rolls. Doesn''t really bother me too much.
 
DH wears his (new) wedding ring everywhere except work. Then he takes it off and puts it on a clip on his key ring. His ring now is Tungsten and holds up really well compared to the gold we were married in. He wore his gold ring the same way though, everything except work.

My FIL and MIL never take their rings off, they''re so filthy!!

My mom wore her ring til it literally broke on her finger. She just recently got it repaired after about 3 years and wears it constantly again. I''ve never seen my dad in a wedding ring, and I think it was probably in a jewelry box and lost in a house fire they had a few years ago. My dad was a farmer, construction worker his whole life, so not really a great idea to keep rings on.

I on the other hand, only wear my ring when I''m leaving the house.
 
yes, 24/7 regardless of where he''s at or what he''s doing.
