Why don't some married people wear their rings?

[Anonymous]

As an engaged woman, I get so irritated when other men try to hit on me or offer me their number. Acting as if any woman they come across must be single. I have a guy in my class who kept staring at me and it was so annoying and uncomfortable. I had to search for a fake gold wedding band because I didn't want to wear a 5k engagement ring to school on a daily basis. I don't understand how some married people are able to go throughout their lives not wearing a wedding band or ring. Its just so annoying. And its even more awkward to tell someone that I'm married

Because this day an age most people don’t value relationships or marriages , most people today are very selfish and do what they feel is best for them , Sadly Most people don’t care if you are in a relationship or not, they will still try to get you in bed, I think married couples that don’t wear their rings is disrespectful , it’s basically opening doors to allow others to interfere , I have caught my ex wife not wearing her ring when she would go out with her girlfriends and I told her you are cheating on me , whether you physically did or not you are cheating on this marriage by removing your ring when you go out with friends , I told her it was very disrespectful and I don’t think I want to be married to a girl like you , she got all defensive and said you don’t trust me , I said you are right I don’t trust girls’ that don’t respect me. I don’t care what anyone says taking your ring off while you are
Married is a sign you are up to no good , you can try to sugarcoat it all you want but you are clearly a piece of shit

i think there can be a number of reasons

- not wanting to wear jewelry with a certain outfit or doing a certain activity

- not wanting to wear valuables

- don't like wearing jewelry

-don't believe wearing their wedding band is any sort of necessity

i know people who never wear their wedding/engagement rings. i know people who ALWAYS where it and i know people who where it it in certain scenarios and not in others. i can attest and i'm sure plenty of others can as well. wearing a wedding/engagement ring does not necessarily stop guys from hitting/looking/cat calling/etc.

yes it does stop the hitting on , flirting. It may not necessarily stop ALL of it because people usually can't always see your ring from far away. Your ring really isn't attached to your face.

thanks for MHO

you really thought wearing a fake ring would have done literally anything? nope... plus, some girls like to wear rings on that finger even if they aren't married. plus, guys are dumb. literally it was hard for me to get through college without wearing a fake one too. but people still bothered me. just learn to act like a bitch more to push people away.

Some do because they don’t like the feel of a ring. I wear mine 90 percent of the time but every now and then it just feels good to take it off and have bare hands. I’m one of those people that don’t like things rubbing on me.

Honestly I can't understand why you'd NOT wear the engagement ring. That's too nice and too expensive to leave at home.

No judgement I'm just shocked.

But, also, you say wear to school. Okay. What happens when you're done with school. Do you start wearing it? Work? Kids? Cooking? Etc.

Anyway, in answer to your question, the only time my wife took her wedding band off was when her hands swelled during pregnancy. Otherwise she's kept hers on.

Same for me. I kept it on for the last 23 years, even when I was in the Navy on a ship and not supposed to wear it.

because the diamond is sharp and can scratch not only my skin but also other peoples skin. its also pretty expensive so if you happen to be around the wrong people at the wrong time, you might lose your life over that diamond. I'm also in school to become a nurse and they forbid nurses to wear anything else other than a wedding band. diamonds can cut, scrape a patients fragile skin.

I am not a fan of rings because it makes drying hands a hassle. My finger also swells when I go to bed sometimes and my ring would end up being too tight. If I buy it a half size looser, it might slip off my finger as I use slippery soap on my hands. Its all a hassle but the consequences associated with not wearing a ring is even more annoying. I don't want to deal with all these random guys who think I'm single.

I used to work at a gas station. This woman who was a few years older than me used to always come in to buy cigarettes, and she would always stay for a few minutes and flirt with me. I was going to ask her out for a date because she was a really laid back and easy going person, and she was pretty good looking. One day I looked down at her hands and noticed there was a very distinct tan line from where a wedding ring would be on her left hand ring finger. I stopped flirting with her after that.

They are cheaters, they are in the shop, lost/stolen or could be they get in the way of work

My advice would be to get a wedding band so either get married or hit up a pawn shop

I have similar problems so I just keep a gold band to wear in the bar to avoid women

[gothbxtch]

some might because they have a job like a surgeon where it would be dangerous to wear one during work, or maybe they’re neurodivergent with texture issues and wouldn’t feel comfy with a ring on their hand

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

It just doesn't register with their brain that you are taken, my advice is to wear the fake wedding band and just hope he meets someone.

[Hinaaaaa]

Maybe after marriage some people's faces are enough to tell the other person that they are married...

[JustinTheGreat]

I keep my ring on 24/7. Even in the shower and everything. I’ve never felt the need to take it off

[Asker]

yea... thanks for not answering the question being asked...

[JustinTheGreat]

girl shut up lol
I don’t know every married persons life story and their reasoning for not wearing their ring.
I’m giving my opinion as a married person myself on how I have never personally felt the need to take mine off so I wouldn’t get why others would

[spartan55]

She's a real sweetie isn't she?

[RoseySarah]

So you don't wear one or other losers hitting on you don't?

[Likes2drive]

Never had that problem when not wearing it for years and I’m divorced now for 7 years and still no one ever asked or flirted with me, seems to be just a woman problem I guess

[Anonymous]

Neither of my parents wear their rings. My mom wore hers for years, but then stopped. My dad never wore his. 🙄

[BLP11520]

Because of there jobs I knew someone who had a finger torn off because of a tight ring

[BLP11520]

Mine no longer fits

[Asker]

a lot of people don't have those jobs and they still don't wear it.

[BLP11520]

I know, I wonder why?

I wear my wife's ring for a few minutes every night.
