It's annoying to wear and feels uncomfortable. That's why.

Not true. There are folk songs collected in the 19th century in Russia and Croatia that mention wedding rings.

I don't know of any married men who refuse to wear their rings. Wearing a wedding ring is pretty standard for men and women who are married.

What an amusing thread. My husband never takes his ring off and he works with machinery. I am the one that doesn't wear my ring that often. I didnt realize I was on the prowl. Or is this just a male thing?

I quit wearing mine when it caught while I was working and nearly took my finger off.

My husband wears his ring more often that I wear mine. I don't like to ride a bike with a ring on, or knead bread dough. So my ring is always coming off and then I can't find it for a week or two.

My husband has had five or six rings since we got married...three gold ones that I remember because of the cost, then a silver one which got really scratched within a week or so, a stainless steel one that he didn't like, and a thick black one that he wears now, when he wears one. He lost one of the gold ones in the port-a-potty at work, another one got way too small (was a 7 and now he wears a 10) and he lost one so totally that we have no clue what ever happened to it. Every time he loses one, I tell him to just quit wearing them because it's not worth the bother, but he enjoys shopping for another.

I never saw my parents wear them. My ex and I always wore ours. My SO told me when we get married he wont wear his because he works on machinery-he is considering getting one tattood on.

Today is my 10th anniversary, and I have rarely worn my wedding band during the last ten years. My wife hasn't worn hers consistently for about 5 years or so.

I used to do more manual labor, so didn't wear it much back when I was first married. I hated keeping track of it, so I just quit wearing it at all. My wife just followed suit after a while since it didn't bother her that I wasn't wearing mine.

No, it is true. Women have always worn wedding rings. Wedding rings for males were virtually unheard of prior to the twentieth century.

Let me google that for you

There might have been some places where they were common but it was not widespread like it is now.
