Are you talking about men or both men and women? I find that most women always wear their wedding rings, and even once married, their engagement rings. I think that a lot depends on what kind of work they do and their daily activities. So if a man is working with his hands doing blue collar type of work, then of course he shouldn't be wearing his wedding band because it might get caught in machinery or get scuffed up badly. And with women, again if she has an office job, her rings will not get in the way or be damaged, but if she is doing work with her hands, like in a factory or making food, then it's not a good idea to wear rings or fine jewelry.
Once while at a new job, I was wearing a favorite gold ring which happened to fit best on my ring finger, and one of my male co-workers thought I was married. I thought that it was interesting that he cared to look and think about my marital status.
I think that if a married person is acting married and not trying to flirt with other people, then who cares whether or not they are wearing their wedding bands?

This is true. My mother is an RN and I rarely see her wear her ring. My father has never worn his as far back as I can remember. They have been married for 35 years so I don' think its a reflection of their relationship.
When people don't ever wear it because they take it off for work then it sounds like just laziness is the reason why they never put it back on, but for people don't have a work-related reason, I'm even more baffled. I wouldn't say a couple like that has a bad relationship but it seems apathetic.

My mother has a 3 carat diamond ring. I don't blame her for taking it off while helping old/obese heart replacement patients go to the bathroom, shower, remove and insert IV and colostomy bags etc.
And I'm pretty sure working night shifts no one notices there, or while she is sleeping during the day 9-4.
I see her wear it every weekend when she is not working. It's not like shes going out to bars and taking it off. She woerks 5 12 hour night shift a week.
Likewise (not that I am ever going to accept an engagement ring) I would never wear an expensive piece of jewelry out to the barn to ride my horse. Just doesn't makes sense. The probability of something happening to a piece of jewelry while I'm riding, tacking up, bathing etc is too high.
People have different reasons for doing a whole lot of things that other people don't always understand. A wedding ring is really just a symbol of their commitment/marriage. I don't think it has any reflection on their relationship nor commitment. Unless they are ACTING in a way that is doggish, then there is a commitment issue, but some act like that even when they are wearing their rings....baffles me with these acts as well.
I know a man who refuses to wear it because he hates the feeling. He says he can never get used to it. My husband works with him closely and is 99% sure that he's not the cheating type at all. So I believe him. My husband never takes his off and I only take them off at bedtime (diamond snags on the sheets and annoys me).
Why do you need a symbol? Either there is trust or there isn't. I rarely wear mine cause it's
A too small
B so I won't trash it
C I forget
I wear it when we go out that's about it. My wife has something like 5 big ol diamonds and she wears them all the time. It's just a symbol and if she didn't wear them I wouldn't care as I trust her.
I don't wear mine all the time. In fact, I go without it more than I go with it. If I'm putting effort into myself that day and I know I'm not doing something active I'll wear them.
They are a little big so they spin and slide on my finger so sometimes it's just not worth the risk of losing them.
I won't wear them to the gym because the bars will damage and scratch them. I don't wear them when I'm in water (beach, pool..etc) because I'm afraid they'll fall off..ect.
I've been thinking of getting a cheap band that fits in the meantime but I just haven't. My husband wears his all the time, except when he plays hockey.
I see her wear it every weekend when she is not working. It's not like shes going out to bars and taking it off. She woerks 5 12 hour night shift a week.
yeah but she puts it back on outside of work. What about your father?
I'm actually starting to think it's a big reflection of a marriage.
