How do you get used to wearing a wedding/ engagement ring?

[samhradh_leannan]

I'm not a ring person (I love how they look but I hate the feeling of them), and sometimes I try to wear them but I end up taking them off. I'm worried that if/ when I get married I will have a hard time keeping the wedding and engagement rings on. Has anyone had any problems with this? Is it something that is hard to get used to, or do you adjust quickly because you're so excited? I can't imagine feeling comfortable wearing a ring 24/7. I've gone as far as to contemplate asking my future fiance if he minds if I wear the ring on a necklace, which I'm sure wouldn't be a huge hit. Any ideas, advice or reassurance out there?

It's really hard to know until it happens. But I wouldn't worry too much about it. My parents don't wear their wedding rings, not because they are separated but because they just don't wear them. It's understandable, not everyone is a ring person.

But just because you don't wear the ring doesn't meant you are any less committed. There are people who put on the ring who are way less committed to their relationship than you are.

Also, an engagement ring is more expensive, and is fit for your finger. Regular rings are not always like that and maybe that has something to do with you not wearing them long.

I would definitely try it, you will probably get used to it after a while :) But don't beat yourself up if you can't wear it 24/7. Just explain to your fiance why, and that it doesn't mean you love him any less. I like the necklace idea.

Some people also get tattoos on their ring finger. This might also be something to consider as well :)

Yeah it probably won't go over too well with him. You can wear it somewhere else or get a tattoo of a wedding ring or his name around your ring finger. It has been done. Hope it helps. Congrats by the way. ^_^

I'm not actually engaged, I'm just thinking ahead :) but thanks for your answer! I definitely won't be going the tattoo route, but it's an idea!

I'm not a ring person either, but I've never really thought about this. I think you can probably get used to it, though. Like you said, it's something exciting, and if you want to wear it that will probably help you adjust and be able to keep it on. Good luck!

I am the exact same way! When it comes time to get engaged, your fiancee will take you ring shopping. (He won't just give you some random ring! You get to pick!) At the jewelry store you'll need to tell the sales associate that you want the thinnest bands they have and opt for a single band - not some of the massive stacked rings some girls wear. This will help you feel like it's not there.

Well, I believe some guys do it that way, while others choose thing ring and hope that it'll work. I guess I'll have to hope he lets me choose it or tries to figure out what I'd prefer beforehand. A thinner one does sound like the best idea.

Haha I don't like wearing rings, they're so uncomfortable. I'm not sure how I'll fair with that either. Usually the only thing that keeps a ring on my finger is how pretty it is. The necklace is a good idea.

[samhradh_leannan]

It's a possibility, but I didn't think most guys would be happy about it. I guess that's another question.

Now I wonder how guys adjust given that most wouldn't have worn a ring prior to marriage.

[samhradh_leannan]

Good point. I hope we get some answers from guys!

It's OK, we'll get used to it together!
