We tend to assume they are cheaters but not all of them. What are the reasons then?
Why some married men don't use their wedding ring?
My dad was working abroad and he lost so much weight his wedding ring didn't fit him any more, my mom after knowing this went into panick mode and so much trouble to get that ring back and adjusted to his size and brought back to him since my dad couldn't be bothered to do it where he was 😂 guess my dad was that hot, when u asked about it i remembered that particular story

Mine kept losing his at work. He went about 8 years ago now and got a tattoo of my name on his wedding ring finger. Hasn't lost that one yet lol

The Wedding ring is just an old fashioned facebook relationship status. Some women think it's vital, some men don't give a shit.
It's impractical in many cases, and its existence has never stopped a man from cheating if he wanted to cheat.

My father hasn't worn his in years. It's pretty ornate, so it can't be resized. My Mom wears it on a chain. by the way, he's 88, so I doubt he's running around. If he is, I'll be more impressed than mad.

In some work places youâre not allowed to wear jewelry for safety reasons. I know married couples that donât wear their wedding rings 24/7 because of allergies to metal, or itâs just uncomfortable to wear all the time.

I can't wear a wedding ring. I am single, but when I do get married it will hang around my neck most likely. I broke my ring finger when I was younger and it healed wrong, causing a piece of bone fragment that detached to... I'll just share a picture. Long story short it's wider at the joint then at the base.
Can't speak for other guys though, maybe embarrassment or not liking jewelry? Hard to say as I would wear a wedding band everyday (unless I forgot it, which could happen, I'm somewhat airheaded sometimes.) if I was married and my finger wasn't broken. If I'm honest though, I don't care for marriage, I do like romantic symbolism, so the ring would mean a lot to me. As for why I don't like marriage, I mostly just don't see a need for it, but it also seems like a showing off money/status thing which doesn't appeal to me, I'd rather use money to make myself and my partner happy rather than make others envious. Many marriages lead to debt which is one of the biggest causes of divorce. The whole system seems greedy to me, and I don't care for the milestones mentality, I prefer to do things at my own pace.

My dad never wore a wedding ring. Besides thinking that rings were too feminine for him to wear and a waste of money that could have been better spent elsewhere, he also thought it was dangerous to wear a metal band since he was an electrician. I remember some of his coworkers elected to have tattoos on their ring finger in lieu of a ring. Just because a guy does not choose to wear a ring, it doesnât automatically mean he is a cheater or will stray, it could simply mean it wasnât practical for him to wear one, especially if he worked in a certain trade.

My hands tend to get clammy when, for example, I hold a pc mouse for an extended time, or a game controller, or a woodworking tool. Unfortunately, when my skin is in prolonged contact with a water resistant surface like plastic or metal, the clamminess (sweat) tends to build up and feel sticky and gross and doesn't smell good. So I'll take it off to air out the skin a bit so it doesn't feel so gross. Same with my wrist watch under the watch face, too.
I also often wash my hands, and my ring happened to be made of carbon fiber and malachite, which is a green stone that very porous, so I take it off to make sure it doesn't absorb whatever nastiness is on my hand.
After a while I got fed up with it all, and I just went to the hardware store and bought a rubber faucet gasket ring that fit my finger well, and I never took /that/ one off.
In the end she's the one that cheated, so fat lot of good that did me :/ - 4.7K opinions shared on Guy's Behavior topic.
A number of occupations make it difficult or even dangerous to wear any kind of ring. Most jobs that work with hand tools or certain power tools can make it dangerous, or jobs that work with electricity. I wear no jewelry of any kind on my job, because I often have to reach into a small hole in a wall to grab a cable or tool to pull it through, or work in very tight spaces around powered-up gear.
I was once working at a Domino's Pizza years ago, and the walk-in refrigerator was broken, and the manager had called in a repairman. We heard a loud crash in the walk-in, and found the guy on the floor. It turned out that he wore a gold chain with a medallion on it, and he was up on a ladder and leaned forward and the medallion came out of his shirt and hit an electrical line and shocked him badly. He was taken to the hospital and his company had to send someone out to finish the job. Anyway, depending on what you do for a living, any kind of jewelry can be a problem. -
Sometimes its because of their job, like mechanics, electricians, working with machinery, etc. Certain metals could cause them to get shocked or it could get caught on something and tear their finger. The have rubber rings for guys to wear for these problems, but they may choose to not wear one at all. My dad is a mechanic and has to worry about those issues but also his hands have gotten so much bigger and calloused since he's been married (35 yrs) that his wedding band no longer fits, and it's hard to find his size. He seriously where's an O ring as a wedding band. lol. But hey, it fits his finger and who he is. But I would say if he was married and at a bar or something not wearing one or pretending that he isn't married, that's a problem.

Personal reasons, occupational reasons, religious reasons and many more
I dont like any ornaments in myself. No rings, chains, piercings nothing. I just don't like them. I might wear them once or twice just to respect the occasion. For instance: I don't want to wear rings (not even my wedding ring) but on my wedding anniversary I'd love to - - (but I gotta get married first 😂)
Religious reasons: I've seen people who follow religions which forbid then from wearing any sort if jewellery.
Occupational reasons: sometimes ornaments don't suit the occupation. You don't want your gynaecologist to put on a big ass ring out they hands inside (I clearly don't know what a gynaecologist does 😂.. But you get my drift? Huh?)
So yeah... There could be many more reasons not to -
It could really depend. A wedding ring is something to not lose. Some men may not want to risk losing something so precious. They are usually made of soft metals like gold and silver, so they dent and scratch easy. Not wearing it may protect it from blemishes. Another really good point is that they could very well just be cheaters, so stay on them!

I agree I think it's disrespectful , if you can't wear a ring then find another way to symbolize your marriage , you didn't get married to be single,

Most likely due to work or he just doesn't like to wear it. Neither of my parents wear wedding bands because of work. They're both doctors, and rings harbour some disgusting bacteria and dirt that can be very harmful to them or to patients. It's unsanitary for them to wear rings.
Other guys may not wear theirs because they work with their hands in dirty jobs or where the ring might get lost or scratched/damaged.
Not wearing a ring =/= cheater. -
If I were married I know I would never wear my ring because Iâm a deli manager and canât wear any jewelry near the food, and I work about 50 hours a week, so I would keep it off out of habit. For men, I imagine itâs something similar; their job limits how often they can wear it. But, Iâm not a man nor married, so itâs kinda difficult to imagine other situations where men wouldnât wear it 🤷🏼ââď¸

Id hate to be a surgeon and risk injuring a patient with it. Id hate to be a construction work and bend an expensive ring. Id hate to be lifting weights and the ring hurting my hand. There is many many reasons why a man or woman would not wear a ring. A ring really does not symbolize much. I have known people to be married and dont always a ring through out the marriage. If a man or woman wants to cheat on their significant other, ring or no ring, it will be done.

Well this one's really obvious because they're tired of their marriage and they're looking for somebody else they want to cheat on their wife okay you can take it off while you work construction but put it on when you go home there's no excuse come on

I don't wear any jewellery at all. I just don't like wearing it. It can also be dangerous in a lot of trades that I've worked in. But mostly I just don't like wearing any kind of jewellery. If I buy a brand new watch, I immediately tear the strap off and stick the watch in my pocket.

Certain jobs are extremely dangerous if you are wearing a ring. Working with electricity, some machinery, etc.
I tried to wear my ring from the beginning, but it was tight and widening it caused it to fall off. By tight, I mean over time closing my fist actually stressed and broke the ring. -
Well, work can be one. Hygiene or safety reasons demand you remove it.
Resizing.
Washing/showing.
Working with chemicals.
Gaining/losing weight and just keeping it for safe keeping.
My dads reason was my mums a massive cheating bellend and he removed his ring before their divorce. She probably lost hers up her own muff impressing her âboyfriendâ.
Itâs not a big deal to me, as long as they know where it is. - 2.3K opinions shared on Guy's Behavior topic.
I do a lot of work around the house and yard, making things, using various tools, etc. I ten to work hard, and wearing a wedding ring is a great way, when working physically, to seriously damage a finger. I also am concerned, when working physically, about losing the ring. It also is a problem at work. And as I don't wear any other jewelry, it's easy for me to not even think about wearing it.

If you're looking for non-cheater-y reasons then a. expensive, and he's terrified of losing it or being ACCUSED of losing it, b. because of whatever job he does makes jewelry impractical/awkward, or c. because he's paranoid about it crushing his finger if he gets into an accident.

Their work may make rings dangerous; or they might have a skin type or condition that makes it impossible to wear rings.
For example, I cannot wear any rings. If I try, small ulcers form on my skin beneath the ring within 24 hours. - 429 opinions shared on Guy's Behavior topic.
I prefer to not have any jewelry on my fingers. My wife knows this so I attached a chain and wear my ring like a pendant instead.
