Would you be okay with it if your husband didn't wear a wedding ring on his finger?
I tried wearing a ring once (a class ring) and it wasn't comfortable. Worst money spent on 22K gold and a birthstone ever. I wear enough non-clothing things on my body already. I wouldn't mind carrying it around for proof of marriage, but I am not wearing that **** on my finger.
I was married... and am now divorced when he left me after coming out of the closet (and cheating on me with men). I put the reason why for his leaving me because I think it helps qualify my answer a bit.
I don't care if a man wears his ring or not if I am married to him. My Ex wore his ring all the time and it didn't magically stop him from screwing around and eventually leaving me. On the other hand, my dad (who was faithful to my mom until he died) never wore his ring because it was dangerous to do so at his job (and he was just not used to wearing it). Same with my grandfather who also couldn't wear a ring at work.
A ring is only good if the man wearing it is too. It's not a magic ring of marriage protection.
Now, I am single again now and I find men not wearing rings when they are married to be confusing sometimes. I don't flirt if I see the ring but if I don't see one I might (and the man might be married and not wearing one--which leads to awkwardness)... but that's a problem for me, not the men I figure.

From what I have heard, women AND men flirt with people regardless of the ring.
Does not matter to me either way and my husband and I both go on and off with wearing our rings. No particular reason why we do or don't it just happens. It could be working outside, going to be camping and don't want to lose them (mine really need sized down), a spider bite (yes he got a spider bite on his left ring finger, it was awful).
We both know we are married and that is what counts.

Yeah, there are people out there like that. I ran into my fair share too (men who would flirt with me and then actually reach out and touch my wedding ring--ugh, what creeps). And I hear that there are women that go for the men with a ring just to fool around (some think they can be a mistress and blackmail men, danging their marriages over their heads).
But I like to think that most men and women respect other people's marriages. Then again, I really have no idea what the statistics are on something like that. It's just wishful thinking on my part.
But basically, like I said, to answer your question, to me it's not the wearing or not wearing of a ring that matters to me so much as the personality, integrity, and honor of the man wearing it.
When we first got married, it was important to me. After I saw women hitting on him anyway, I stopped caring whether he wore his ring or not. Either I trust him or I don't trust him. But that ring isn't a magical force field.
I would have a problem with my husband not wearing a ring. Why even exchange rings if you are not going to wear it ? Ring or no ring does not guaranty that they will be faithful to you but how will anyone know that you are spoken for without a symbol. Many people hide their rings to appear single..

Funny my husband told me the opposite. That women flirt more if they see a guy wearing wedding ring. I've heard that line before he told me that.
MY husband and I didn't wear a ring for a month after we wed in court. And so that's what my husband told me. But he eventually bought us a ring to wear.
I myself don't wear it everyday. My husband wears his wedding ring everyday though.

I don't know why people exchange rings....
...But according to other people the tradition is to offer a woman expensive jewelry in return for marriage.
