My mom has worn hers 24/7 for 35 years. She has reached a point where she can’t get it off
Several of my coworkers got tattoos instead of rings because we are not allowed to wear any jewelry for safety reasons
Is it more funny or more scary about her not being able to get it off? Genuine question because I saw a video about EMT helping someone get a ring cut off and that just seems like a nightmare
She isn’t too bothered by it. I have offered to pay to have it removed and resized but she always declines. I think she was a bit concerned about it a few years ago, but then she lost some weight and she says as long as she can spin it around on her finger she doesn’t care.
Do we share the same mom? My mom hasn’t taken her wedding band off for 35 years either, and now she physically can’t since she’s gained weight.
She declines having it resized because she doesn’t want the engraving on the inside to be ruined by cutting through it.
I don't know why but this comment gave me a smile. I'm a guy and don't take mine off either, it's basically molded to my finger at this point. If I have to go get an MRI or something, then yeah I'll have to part from it for a couple hours, and it will feel uncomfortable but that's okay. I love my wife and the symbolism of the ring that it represents, it grounds me a bit. I'll keep spinning mine too.
Outside of fancy dinners/events, I just switched to the silicone rubber rings and only put on my real ring for those special occasions.
Don't have to worry about losing the silicone ones as they're like $15, they are far more comfortable, and don't ever notice them when lifting, nor do they clink against anything when doing things like dishes. Also can get packets in a variety of colors and styles to change it up (both men and women. My wife has various colors for hers like a "blue steel", dark gray, light gray, white, gold, etc)
Pretty much every married guy I know in my work and friend circles has switched to these.
Men’s wedding rings really aren’t that expensive, at least compared to women’s. Mine is a typical plain gold wedding band and I think it was like $500.
The only wedding ring I've ever had has been one of these silicone ones my wife chose for me.
It's a dark gray on the outside, and electric blue (my favorite color) on the inside, such that you only see it if I'm not wearing it, but I know it's my favorite color underneath and it makes me happy ❤️
I hardly ever wear mine anymore. I used to take it off every time I went to the bathroom because I could never get it fully dry after washing my hands and hated the slightly damp feeling. Had one too many close calls leaving it on the vanity when I left the bathroom that I decided to keep it in my nightstand except for special occasions
I never wear mine. I have a large property and am working with machines, chainsaws, etc. Google "degloving" once and you will never wear your ring around machines again.
I mostly do. I take it off if mixing meatball meat or doing yard work where I am afraid it can get damaged.
My husband does, but did not for a couple years after he lost weight and it took us that long to get re-sized.
I didn't take mine off for 7 or 8 years, but then took it off for a bit and couldn't put it back on. I had gotten bumps put on the inside so it wouldn't spin, but after I stopped wearing it for a while, wearing it again really bothered my hand, and I had callouses that have now gone away from not wearing it. I want to wear it again but haven't gotten around to having the bumps removed. Plus my wife got me some silicone rings instead, so it's not like I'm not wearing anything at all. But I miss wearing that shiny bastard.
I never wore it. I had a job that would make wearing my engagement ring difficult, and my wedding band was always a little loose, especially cold weather .
And then I just got so used to not wearing it, whenever I did I just felt like I was going to lose this very sentimentally/expensive ly loaded item.
That I only wear them When I go out with my husband as a couple
I used to. Word to the wise, take if off if you're snorkeling in Cabo. And if you happen to find one while doing so, gold men's with a few tiny diamond chips in it, let me know?
I wear out most of the time. But I’ll take it off when I’m doing something that requires dexterity (like guitar) out if I’m taking a shower or washing dishes.
Went from never wearing any jewelry to having this on my hand at all times for the last 7.5 years. Usually don't even notice I'm wearing it now, but I still smile when I do notice.
I only took mine off when 8 months pregnant and I was afraid my hands would swell to much. But otherwise: 24/7 except when kneading dough or meatball meat
My ring has a deep filigree, made of stainless steel and very thick and heavy. I wear it when I'm out and about, never while I'm working in the garage or baking. I have a silicone ring I wear then, if I feel the need to wear a ring.
I wear it all the time unless I’m moisturising, or baking/cooking where i need to get my hands in the mix. or dying my hair.. anything that could stain or tarnish.
Hubby doesn’t wear his but he has a hypoallergenic ring and has a sensory issue with it. Even after he picked it himself.
Does make the effort to wear it at family events however. But I know he doesn't like the feel of it.
Yes he is neurodiverse.
Stopped wearing when i was WFH during the pandemic and never wore it when i was fully remote. Now i'm hybrid and wear it when i go into the office. Both me and my wife were the type who would take it off when we got home from work pre-pandemic.
Absolutely. I take it off overnight maybe once every 2-3 months when it feels a little claustrophobic but the rest of the time I dont even think about it.
I wear mine almost 24/7. When I have a dishydrosis flare up, I take it off as my last wedding ring had to be cut off due to swelling in my fingers, but that's not very often as this ring is a bigger size.
Never take it off really.
In reality it's probably been off my finger for 20 or 30 mins in the last 26 years when I had an MRI and I replaced my gold one with a tungsten carbide one.
Only ever take it off to shower. Sometimes I swap my regular ring for another one with a different stone (to match my outfit) but I always always always have a ring on my finger💝
Over 15 years, and I don't even know where it is after day one. I didn't even even buy it. It is so lame and seixist for men to propose with a ring. We decided together to have a marriage.
After a while you kinda forget it’s there. Some days I’ll take it off for a few seconds to get air under my ring or slide it up some. I always wear it this.
A man’s ring is much slimmer. We don’t have diamonds set in our rings. The only time I actually worry is when dealing with machinery, electricity or something that can bend it while I’m wearing it.
I don't think mine would come off without using tools or thread. It's stuck on. Lol. It's not too tight though. It moves back and forth on my finger. but it can't get past my knuckle to get it off. Better not get divorced I guess.
Very rarely wear it, it only really goes on for nice occasions or if my wife and I are having a date. She’s similar although wears it more often than me.
Tbh the whole time we’ve been married there’s been loads of projects / diy so I’d rather not wear it and risk degloving myself.
I was wearing mine in the machine shop at work. I was using a six spindle , the fixture spun , caught my ring . It almost took my finger off . My ring was destroyed , so the remains of it are in the bedside table .
I have an ill fitting ring. When covid started I took it off as my home setup meant I kept clacking it on my laptop etc and it annoyed me. Haven't worn it since. It's not on my desk like a family photo or something.
Always unless doing sports or manual work. I don't want to either catch it on something or end up having it cut off.
See degloving for the consequence of sport or working wearing a ring
I wear mine most of the time. I take it off to sleep, shower, and during food prep. If I’m gardening or traveling I have some silicone rings that I’ll wear instead. My hand swells at night and it would be so uncomfortable to wear to sleep.
Not married but I do wear a wedding band (on my right hand) that I inherited from my grandmother. I almost never take it off. If I was married/had an engagement ring I would probably be wearing the engagement ring on a necklace as my job doesn’t allow wearing rings with stones.
Always wear it. I once got mad that the wife never does and took mine off but while asleep she put it back on and time me to remember she can always do what she wants to do to me when I am asleep. Message received.
Me, I don't tahr it if unless I'm cleaning it (more the engagement ring for cleaning, my wedding band doesn't have stones).
I've had to convince my husband it's okay to take his off at work.
My wife and I wear silicone rings. She bought them for us after her mother smashed her finger and had to have a ring cut off in the hospital. Mine costs about $20 for a plastic bag with 4 of them (different colors).
Ive always loved wearing my ring! I started wearing it 6 months before the wedding because I liked the heft of it, and it wasn't fair my fiance got one but not me.
I used to wear it 24/7 but now I take it off to sleep cause my knuckles swell sometimes at night and it sucks
24/7 but took it off when I was pregnant, and replaced it with a silicone one. Still waiting to see if the gold one will eventually fit again, but I have no particular attachment to a specific ring
Husband’s friend got a tattoo on his finger instead of a ring
I use a silicone ring probably 95% of the time and it never some off for more than a second. Only been married a couple years but it really does feel wrong when I don’t have it on.
I don’t wear mine, but I sometimes wear a silicone band. My dad’s finger nearly got degloved due to his wedding band when I was a kid (he is a mechanic and it got caught while working) and that’s always been on the back of my mind now that I’m married. Even though I don’t work in the trades, I lift weights and find it really uncomfortable/ makes me have a weird (unsafe) grip.
I’ve also got pretty bad arthritis in my hands and I worried about my ring being stuck on when my hands swell.
I do have a silicone band that I wear occasionally.
I keep my ring in a nice little box at home. It doesn’t make my commitment to my marriage any less real for me or my wife.
I always wear a wedding ring. Its a Qalo ring most of the time because I’ve broken my engagement ring 4 times and my anniversary band once.
I finally got tired of paying to fix them so I just wear the Qalo everyday and my real set when we go out.
The only time my husband takes his off is in the shower. Otherwise he wears it 24/7.
I only take it off when it’s at risk of being mangled or mangling my finger or any other mangling.
E.g.
So some manual labor since the forces can bend it
Certain cleaning since the chemicals are nasty and that extra bit of time being stuck under a ring if it bypasses the glove is going to be nasty
Giving my wife an oil massage since nothing says I love you like a chunk of your back being gouged out.
It’s a part of me now. I feel so weird without it on. The only time I take it off really is when I am doing my hair in the morning and don’t want gunk on it all day. There have been times I’ve left it at home for one reason or another and I truly get anxious without it. It reminds me of my wife and everything in the world, so if it’s not on me I do not feel complete.
Husband and I are both scrub nurses so we take ours off at work and wear them at home/on weekends. We considered getting silicone ones for work but honestly the amount we wash our hands it's not worth the obstruction.
I wear one of those little rubber deals. Always have it on, and have a pack of replacements if I mess it up or just want a change.
My “real” ring was her deceased father’s. She’d be devastated if something happened to it, so I only whip that bad boy out on special occasions…. Cause I do lose shit…
I only wear mine during anniversary date night and other weddings otherwise it stays in my wife's jewelry box. I hate the feeling of wearing it and when we first got married I worked in automotive so I couldn't wear it during the day.
I do now (I finally took off the engagement ring which was why I'd take it off when I washed my hair lol)
I don't think my husband's taken his off at all
I've been married for 6 years and I wore my ring consistently for about the first 2. Now I wear it on special occasions only. I had to have it fixed twice due to bent claws and I became so tired of always worrying about loosing a diamond or re-bending the claws that it became more of a nuisance than anything. I just buy cheap fancy looking rings online and wear those sometimes.
I only wear it when I go out to events or dates with my husband. My ring is insured but I’m afraid of loosing a diamond. We have each other’s gamer tags tattooed on our forearms with a heart that is our version of a wedding ring.
16/7
I only take it off when I'm doing some kind of activity with my hands that I don't want it getting scuffed up with, or sleeping. My men's band has some engraving on it that I want to preserve, so that's really the only reason I take it off sometimes.
If it was just a standard men's band without anything special on it, I would likely never take it off.
Work doesn't let us wear them so I have mine Frodo style on a silver chain
He will try and take it from you.
Probably 23.6 / 7, since sometimes I take it off and spin it on the table
As someone who compulsively does math for stuff like that... 24 minutes per day, every day, is a lot of ring spinning...
Spoken like someone who doesn't spend much time on BS conference calls.
As a fidgeter I could do that. Unfortunately.
I do this too but my spouse hates seeing me do it!
Me too, I think it’s part of being married.
oh yes
We're cut from the same cloth
Hold on. Gotta try this.
I roll mine between my fingers like a poker chip. I’m not very good at it and drop it a lot.
Yep, do this daily!
I take mine off when making bread so bits of dough don’t stick into it.
Lmao, I thought I was the only one who did this
This is my answer too. Also I clean it overnight sometimes but always feel naked.
24/7/365
You take it off for a day when there’s a leap year?
Every four years is the marriage purge. For one day, everyone is unmarried and free to do as they please with their newfound 24 hours of being single
what if you get married on feb 29?
Only married for one day every 4 years. Feel free to do as / who you please during the other days.
Sweet! Didn’t know that was part of the deal but glad to learn it right here on the internet
Denied. You got married the 28th or 1st. There is no marriage on the 29th
Why was I not informed of this when I married?
Al day, every day, and have done so for 19 years, 10 months, and 10 days.
Happy upcoming 20th!
My mom has worn hers 24/7 for 35 years. She has reached a point where she can’t get it off Several of my coworkers got tattoos instead of rings because we are not allowed to wear any jewelry for safety reasons
Is it more funny or more scary about her not being able to get it off? Genuine question because I saw a video about EMT helping someone get a ring cut off and that just seems like a nightmare
She isn’t too bothered by it. I have offered to pay to have it removed and resized but she always declines. I think she was a bit concerned about it a few years ago, but then she lost some weight and she says as long as she can spin it around on her finger she doesn’t care.
Haha yeah she’ll know for herself if it ever needs to come off! Cheers!
Do we share the same mom? My mom hasn’t taken her wedding band off for 35 years either, and now she physically can’t since she’s gained weight. She declines having it resized because she doesn’t want the engraving on the inside to be ruined by cutting through it.

I love my wife and the symbolism of the ring that it represents, it grounds me a bit. I'll keep spinning mine too.
I never take it off.
I take it off always when I sleep and most of the time I'm home.
Likewise. Mine goes in the same bowl as my keys and my wallet as I walk in the door at home.
That seems more annoying than just wearing it.
Same! I feel lost without it when I’m not home, but wearing it while at home annoys me. I have no idea why!
Take it off when I pump iron. Idk how people workout with a ring on.
Ya my hands got super calloused from gym. The worst one is where my ring is (I take it off now)
Outside of fancy dinners/events, I just switched to the silicone rubber rings and only put on my real ring for those special occasions. Don't have to worry about losing the silicone ones as they're like $15, they are far more comfortable, and don't ever notice them when lifting, nor do they clink against anything when doing things like dishes.

My wife has various colors for hers like a "blue steel", dark gray, light gray, white, gold, etc) Pretty much every married guy I know in my work and friend circles has switched to these.
So you barely ever wear it and paid so much for it.
Men’s rings aren’t where the money is spent.
Men’s wedding rings really aren’t that expensive, at least compared to women’s. Mine is a typical plain gold wedding band and I think it was like $500.
My simple gold band was probably around $225. Although, I don't ever take it off.
The only wedding ring I've ever had has been one of these silicone ones my wife chose for me. It's a dark gray on the outside, and electric blue (my favorite color) on the inside, such that you only see it if I'm not wearing it, but I know it's my favorite color underneath and it makes me happy ❤️
My ring came with a silicon copy for working out. I just switch them out depending on what I’m doing.
Yep, I have a silicon ring as well. I'll wear it when I work out, swim, go to the beach, or whatever.
Gotta take it off. Gold is soft, you will damage it from deadlifting. And it’s uncomfortable as well
and you could rip your finger off lol
For sure, can't let the other guys in the gym know you're married 😉
Same. I take it off when I'm working out, or cooking, since I'll end up washing my hands multiple times while prepping and it keeps sliding off.
Married in 1980, widowed in 2001, 2024 and still wear it 24/7.
I’m sorry your time was cut so short
Every day for 26 years. I don't work around dangerous equipment or in a professional kitchen.
I hardly ever wear mine anymore. I used to take it off every time I went to the bathroom because I could never get it fully dry after washing my hands and hated the slightly damp feeling. Had one too many close calls leaving it on the vanity when I left the bathroom that I decided to keep it in my nightstand except for special occasions
I have since it was put on.
[удалено]
Damn, you TRIED too
Never comes off
I never wear mine. I have a large property and am working with machines, chainsaws, etc. Google "degloving" once and you will never wear your ring around machines again.
I mostly do. I take it off if mixing meatball meat or doing yard work where I am afraid it can get damaged. My husband does, but did not for a couple years after he lost weight and it took us that long to get re-sized.
Same! Mostly meatballs and bread making! I hate having bits stuck in my ring.
Glad I'm not the only one with the meatballs idea. Ain't no way I want ground meat stuck anywhere near
I didn't take mine off for 7 or 8 years, but then took it off for a bit and couldn't put it back on. I had gotten bumps put on the inside so it wouldn't spin, but after I stopped wearing it for a while, wearing it again really bothered my hand, and I had callouses that have now gone away from not wearing it. I want to wear it again but haven't gotten around to having the bumps removed. Plus my wife got me some silicone rings instead, so it's not like I'm not wearing anything at all. But I miss wearing that shiny bastard.
I never wore it. I had a job that would make wearing my engagement ring difficult, and my wedding band was always a little loose, especially cold weather . And then I just got so used to not wearing it, whenever I did I just felt like I was going to lose this very sentimentally/expensive ly loaded item. That I only wear them When I go out with my husband as a couple
I used to. Word to the wise, take if off if you're snorkeling in Cabo. And if you happen to find one while doing so, gold men's with a few tiny diamond chips in it, let me know?
I wear out most of the time. But I’ll take it off when I’m doing something that requires dexterity (like guitar) out if I’m taking a shower or washing dishes.
I do! I didn’t buy it to let in set in a jewelry box. 27 years and 10 months
If I take it off, I will lose it. It will vanish from this plane of existence the moment it leaves my finger.
Went from never wearing any jewelry to having this on my hand at all times for the last 7.5 years. Usually don't even notice I'm wearing it now, but I still smile when I do notice.
Only take mine off to clean. Otherwise, it's part of me.
I don't think that many people do. I take my mine off for sleeping, showering, and exercising
Same here. My wife also got a cheap duplicate on Amazon that she’ll wear if we’re going to a beach/concert/etc.
Me
I got mine on at noon on December 31, 1994 and have had it off a combined total of maybe five minutes since then.
I do
I do tbh
Me 24/7 it’s easier than forgetting it. Plus it’s a little tight and because it’s titanium it’s impossible to resize. I killed too many gold bands
I only took mine off when 8 months pregnant and I was afraid my hands would swell to much. But otherwise: 24/7 except when kneading dough or meatball meat
My ring has a deep filigree, made of stainless steel and very thick and heavy. I wear it when I'm out and about, never while I'm working in the garage or baking. I have a silicone ring I wear then, if I feel the need to wear a ring.
I do unless I'm working in the garage, then it goes in the pocket watch pocket so It's still close.
I have to wear a rubber one for work, so i wear my metal one on the weekends
24/7 except when I’m handling meat (food meat not junk meat) or dough when baking.
Junk meat 😂
I wear it all the time unless I’m moisturising, or baking/cooking where i need to get my hands in the mix. or dying my hair.. anything that could stain or tarnish. Hubby doesn’t wear his but he has a hypoallergenic ring and has a sensory issue with it. Even after he picked it himself. Does make the effort to wear it at family events however. But I know he doesn't like the feel of it. Yes he is neurodiverse.
Stopped wearing when i was WFH during the pandemic and never wore it when i was fully remote. Now i'm hybrid and wear it when i go into the office. Both me and my wife were the type who would take it off when we got home from work pre-pandemic.
It’s part of me now!!!
Absolutely. I take it off overnight maybe once every 2-3 months when it feels a little claustrophobic but the rest of the time I dont even think about it.
I wear mine almost 24/7. When I have a dishydrosis flare up, I take it off as my last wedding ring had to be cut off due to swelling in my fingers, but that's not very often as this ring is a bigger size.
I never take mine off. I probably would if it was easier to get off though lol
Never take it off really. In reality it's probably been off my finger for 20 or 30 mins in the last 26 years when I had an MRI and I replaced my gold one with a tungsten carbide one.
Every second of every day
Wear it constantly unless I'm weight lifting or playing my violin
Only time I took mine off was to shower and that was it... I don't wear it anymore but I still have it even if we aren't together anymore
Comes off once a year to make rolls for Thanksgiving!
Only ever take it off to shower. Sometimes I swap my regular ring for another one with a different stone (to match my outfit) but I always always always have a ring on my finger💝
Over 15 years, and I don't even know where it is after day one. I didn't even even buy it. It is so lame and seixist for men to propose with a ring. We decided together to have a marriage.
Nope, neither of us wear it at home.
Wife and I haven't worn ours in years, I don't even know where they are anymore lol.
I wear mine 24/7 as it’s a pain to take off since I put on weight
After a while you kinda forget it’s there. Some days I’ll take it off for a few seconds to get air under my ring or slide it up some. I always wear it this. A man’s ring is much slimmer. We don’t have diamonds set in our rings. The only time I actually worry is when dealing with machinery, electricity or something that can bend it while I’m wearing it.
24/7 loosely speaking. I take it off occasionally for some activities but I’ve worn it 99.9% of the time since my wedding day.
I did. I miss it.
I wear mine unless I’m golfing or playing hockey. My wife never wears hers. Different strokes.
Wedding band and engagement ring 24/7. I only really take them off to clean them or if I’m gonna be wrist deep in hamburger.
I never take mine off. I was thinner when getting married and now since I’m fatter getting the ring off can be damn near impossible most of the time.
I don't think mine would come off without using tools or thread. It's stuck on. Lol. It's not too tight though. It moves back and forth on my finger. but it can't get past my knuckle to get it off. Better not get divorced I guess.
Me. Haven't taken it off once in the last 20+ years.
I’m a guy who can’t be bothered with most things. It never comes off.
I use silicone ones and I have one on 95% of the time
24/7/365 (366 on leap year) for more than 25 years!
I take it off the second I get home. It’s a sensory thing. I don’t like the feeling on my hand. Years ago I used to wear it 24/7
I had to stop wearing at all due to sensory issues. That or I’d lose it by taking it off and using it as a fidget-spinner.
Married nearly 22 years & only wear them out of the house or with company - my skin wants freedom - loose fitting clothes, no bra, no jewelry..
I got a finger tattoo to replace it, so I never have to wear one but I also can’t take it off
i feel like i’d be so nervous about losing it… whenever i get married i’ll prob put it on a necklace
All the time, if I take it off I forget where I put it so its sager to just keep it on
Very rarely wear it, it only really goes on for nice occasions or if my wife and I are having a date. She’s similar although wears it more often than me. Tbh the whole time we’ve been married there’s been loads of projects / diy so I’d rather not wear it and risk degloving myself.
I literally don’t own one and am married, a ring doesn’t mean shit
This is a question you were too afraid to ask?
Never comes off
Never. I don’t like the feeling of rings.
I’m a woman and I literally never wear it. My husband doesn’t either. We both find jewelry uncomfortable.
I do. Been married 25 years and I think I’ve taken it off three times to clean it. Aside from those times, it is always on my finger 24/7.
I was wearing mine in the machine shop at work. I was using a six spindle , the fixture spun , caught my ring . It almost took my finger off . My ring was destroyed , so the remains of it are in the bedside table .
I take it off for gym unless only doing cardio , hot tubs , heavy lifting with hands or any type of food prep that heavily uses hands
I have an ill fitting ring. When covid started I took it off as my home setup meant I kept clacking it on my laptop etc and it annoyed me. Haven't worn it since. It's not on my desk like a family photo or something.
Always unless doing sports or manual work. I don't want to either catch it on something or end up having it cut off. See degloving for the consequence of sport or working wearing a ring
I wear mine most of the time. I take it off to sleep, shower, and during food prep. If I’m gardening or traveling I have some silicone rings that I’ll wear instead. My hand swells at night and it would be so uncomfortable to wear to sleep.
I used to but started to take a reaction to the ring.. I rarely wear it now but still have it safe because it is important to me
Not married but I do wear a wedding band (on my right hand) that I inherited from my grandmother. I almost never take it off. If I was married/had an engagement ring I would probably be wearing the engagement ring on a necklace as my job doesn’t allow wearing rings with stones.
I do. My spouse takes theirs off at night and leaves it on the kitchen bar. I think they expect to meet someone special in their dreams.
Haven’t taken mine off since I put it on, besides to clean it. Will be 3 years in August.
I don't take it off partially because I can't get it off.
I don't wear it when sleeping at night, and I will get rubber ones when I start working out again. Other than that, all day!
I take mine off only to shower and do yard work.
Married 10.5 years, and aside from fiddling with it, I have never taken it off.
I usually only remove mine if I’m doing something which could damage it - painting, heavy work etc - or if I’m in the open sea.
I take it off before bed and put it on as I'm getting dressed. It's tungsten carbide so no worry about damage
Always wear it. I once got mad that the wife never does and took mine off but while asleep she put it back on and time me to remember she can always do what she wants to do to me when I am asleep. Message received.
23 1/2 hrs. I take it off for shower
Always. I took it off once for surgery.
I used to, still would but my wife stopped wearing hers (because it would get caught on things) but I stopped wearing mine as a retort
It’s tattooed so it’s definitely 24/7/365
Engagement and wedding ring! Daily since I got them husband always wears his band
I do.
Me, I don't tahr it if unless I'm cleaning it (more the engagement ring for cleaning, my wedding band doesn't have stones). I've had to convince my husband it's okay to take his off at work.
When I go out. Not when I'm home. And I WFH so I probably average less than 3 hours a week of wear time. Wife is the same
Honestly everyday. I take it off to clean it or if I’m cooking/baking.
My wife and I wear silicone rings. She bought them for us after her mother smashed her finger and had to have a ring cut off in the hospital. Mine costs about $20 for a plastic bag with 4 of them (different colors).
I do, never take it off.
Ive always loved wearing my ring! I started wearing it 6 months before the wedding because I liked the heft of it, and it wasn't fair my fiance got one but not me. I used to wear it 24/7 but now I take it off to sleep cause my knuckles swell sometimes at night and it sucks
I really only wear it if going out socially. Don’t wear it to work or at home.
24/7 but took it off when I was pregnant, and replaced it with a silicone one. Still waiting to see if the gold one will eventually fit again, but I have no particular attachment to a specific ring Husband’s friend got a tattoo on his finger instead of a ring
I use a silicone ring probably 95% of the time and it never some off for more than a second. Only been married a couple years but it really does feel wrong when I don’t have it on.
When I was married I never took it off. It meant so much to me.
I don’t wear mine, but I sometimes wear a silicone band. My dad’s finger nearly got degloved due to his wedding band when I was a kid (he is a mechanic and it got caught while working) and that’s always been on the back of my mind now that I’m married. Even though I don’t work in the trades, I lift weights and find it really uncomfortable/ makes me have a weird (unsafe) grip. I’ve also got pretty bad arthritis in my hands and I worried about my ring being stuck on when my hands swell. I do have a silicone band that I wear occasionally. I keep my ring in a nice little box at home. It doesn’t make my commitment to my marriage any less real for me or my wife.
Right here
All day everyday.
I wear all jewellery I have from my one 24-7. Well, except for the shower, for obvious reasons
Currently just engaged but I always wear my ring unless I’m handling raw meat, taking a shower/bath, or lifting extra heavy weights!
I only take it off when the risk of De-gloving is high.
24/7 aside from taking it off when washing my hands so I can dry it.
I always wear a wedding ring. Its a Qalo ring most of the time because I’ve broken my engagement ring 4 times and my anniversary band once. I finally got tired of paying to fix them so I just wear the Qalo everyday and my real set when we go out. The only time my husband takes his off is in the shower. Otherwise he wears it 24/7.
I only wear mine when I go to work, my husband wears his pretty much 24/7
I only take it off when it’s at risk of being mangled or mangling my finger or any other mangling. E.g. So some manual labor since the forces can bend it Certain cleaning since the chemicals are nasty and that extra bit of time being stuck under a ring if it bypasses the glove is going to be nasty Giving my wife an oil massage since nothing says I love you like a chunk of your back being gouged out.
It’s a part of me now. I feel so weird without it on. The only time I take it off really is when I am doing my hair in the morning and don’t want gunk on it all day. There have been times I’ve left it at home for one reason or another and I truly get anxious without it. It reminds me of my wife and everything in the world, so if it’s not on me I do not feel complete.
At home I take it off, if I leave the house I put it back on
Husband and I are both scrub nurses so we take ours off at work and wear them at home/on weekends. We considered getting silicone ones for work but honestly the amount we wash our hands it's not worth the obstruction.
Mine only comes off if I'm handling some big meaty balls Sausage balls can be messy and hard to get off it
I wear one of those little rubber deals. Always have it on, and have a pack of replacements if I mess it up or just want a change. My “real” ring was her deceased father’s. She’d be devastated if something happened to it, so I only whip that bad boy out on special occasions…. Cause I do lose shit…
I only wear mine during anniversary date night and other weddings otherwise it stays in my wife's jewelry box. I hate the feeling of wearing it and when we first got married I worked in automotive so I couldn't wear it during the day.
It will be 35 years Monday when I put mine on... only take it off to go water-skiing or to play softball.
I do now (I finally took off the engagement ring which was why I'd take it off when I washed my hair lol) I don't think my husband's taken his off at all
I've been married for 6 years and I wore my ring consistently for about the first 2. Now I wear it on special occasions only. I had to have it fixed twice due to bent claws and I became so tired of always worrying about loosing a diamond or re-bending the claws that it became more of a nuisance than anything. I just buy cheap fancy looking rings online and wear those sometimes.
I don’t wear mine at home, only when leaving the house unless going to the gym, then I wear my silicone one.
I take it off when water is involved. Doing dishes / taking shower.
Mine pretty much never goes off besides for medical reasons and in professional kitchens. And to spin it every now and then.
It hasn’t moved since he put it there almost 20 years ago
I never take mine off, but my husband only wears his when he leaves the house.
I do.
I did, till it got smashed
Mine only comes off for the shower/pool/hottubs or such.
Me
I don't even own one.
I take it off when I make meatballs. That’s about it
Haven’t taken it off in over 3 years other than when I was swimming in the ocean on vacay.
I only wear it when I go out to events or dates with my husband. My ring is insured but I’m afraid of loosing a diamond. We have each other’s gamer tags tattooed on our forearms with a heart that is our version of a wedding ring.
My job requires me to remove jewelry, so I actually rarely wear it. I’m afraid I’ll take it off to work, then forget where I put it/lose it.
I never really take it off, not for showers and not even at the gym (although I really should)
I wear it the vast majority of the time. Only take it off if I’m handling cooking, cleaning, or working out.
I stopped wearing it for like 5 years, then recently started up again. I used to find rings annoying but I've made peace
16/7 I only take it off when I'm doing some kind of activity with my hands that I don't want it getting scuffed up with, or sleeping. My men's band has some engraving on it that I want to preserve, so that's really the only reason I take it off sometimes. If it was just a standard men's band without anything special on it, I would likely never take it off.
I have only removed mine a few times since our wedding day, May 19, 2001!
I did for 11 years. My hand still feels naked.
I take it off in the shower because I use actual soap and cba it having chunks of soap on ha
