I'm single, but curious if there's anyone out there like me…..who doesn't wear rings….and so wouldn't or doesn't wear a wedding ring.
I take it there are more men than women who don't wear wedding bands.

I've always marveled that
-- people make such a big deal about a ring…I know what it represents. but ultimately it really is just a jewelry possession.
-- and a spouse who insists the other wear a ring (always struck me as insecure)
If I had one, and was married I would wear it. Most men who don't or won't wear one are just making an excuse to look available.
Soldiers in combat, HVAC technicians, Electricians, Welders and all kinds of guys wear theirs. Nothing you are doing most often justifies not wearing it.
Under certain circumstances you might have to remove it "temporarily". But to not ever wear one and don't even keep it in your pocket or hooked on your dog tags?
That's fishy!
From a coworker who always has wondering eyes and been cheating on his wife for years and years.
There are certain jobs - working around machinery for example - where you shouldn't/can't wear rings.
I used to work in law enforcement, and many do not wear wedding rings on duty. They don't want anything about their personal life to be evident to people they are arresting.
Of course, neither of these situations preclude putting the ring back on after hours.
My husband doesn't wear his most of the time. He just doesn't like jewelry; he doesn't even wear a watch. However he does wear his ring when we go out together. It makes me feel special.
Yeah. But what's more important a person wearing the ring…or being faithful whether they wear it or not?
Wearing a ring won't keep a person from cheating. A spouse is trustworthy ring or no ring.
If you're dating a person you know doesn't wear jewelry. I know I wouldn't expect, or press them, to make an exception for a wedding ring. If you're at the point of marriage and haven't suspected they charted during your engagement -- with no ring. Then clearly the ring doesn't have anything to do with their commitment to the relationship.
It's always struck me as being insecure to get bent out of shape if a person doesn't wear a ring. What? You don't trust him or her without the ring.
Also the person who doesn't wear rings for whatever reason, could also wear or carry something else -- if the other spouse just HAS TO have the other person where a sign of commitment. As was said wear it around their neck (job permitting), or carry it in their handbag or pocket.
If the couple is committed why does it matter wether anyone else can see he or she is married? To keep other people from making a move on them, so they're not tempted? Oh. please.
I currently do not wear my ring because my hands are swollen and sore from arthritis. I've thought about getting my ring resized to allow for the swelling, but my hands frequently change, so it'd be cutting off circulation or falling off.
Eventually I hope to get on treatment that eliminates the swelling, but that is what I've got right now. :-(

Hmm, I don't mean to be rude, but did you read what you wrote? He only wears it when he's with you - to appease you perhaps? I wouldn't feels special, I would feel suspicious. He might be being truthful, but if he isn't, well.....there are many women out there whose ex-husband's did the very same thing. My hope is that you'll take my comment as a warning and not an attack on you or your husband
I have been married 15 years and often don't wear a wedding ring. I never wear any jewelry while sleeping, bathing, working out etc. Many times, I don't even wear one on weekdays while running errands.
I was curious if other women did the same, so I posted with that question here on the C-D forums, and was surprised how many other people also don't wear theirs (for myriad reasons).
Many people just don't like to wear jewelry, especially rings. It's just that simple. And, I know my husband really couldn't care less when I don't wear my ring.

I don't like jewelry. I won't even wear a watch. When I was a kid, one of the many reasons I was glad that I wasn't Roman Catholic like the kids across the street was that I didn't want to be forced to wear some accursed St. Christopher around my neck. Before we were married, my wife was fully aware that I wouldn't be wearing a ring.
My father was a sheet metal worker and would have battered a ring into scrap metal in no time. He never wore a ring either. Didn't keep him and my mom from being happily married for over half a century.
No jewelry of any kind for me.
