My husband doesn't think he should have to wear a wedding band...advice?

My husband doesn’t wear his because of work :woman_shrugging: we’ve been married for 9 years it’s never bothered me and I don’t always wear mine either. Jewelry only symbolizes something if you make it. You both know your married everyone around you knows your married and if your thinking something negative just because he doesn’t want to wear his? Stop. Unless there is a legitimate reason to be concerned but if there’s not then doesn’t go down the rabbit hole of make believe and creat a problem, trust is a huge step in any relationship but more so in marriage so I get the paranoia of something going wrong but not everything means a bad thing trust your spouse hun

It’s no big deal. In 99 percent of trades it’s an osha or safety violation. I’d you’re that insecure you have issues

If you trust him and he is trustworthy it doesn’t matter. I don’t wear mine like 75% of the time

My husband had surgery on his hand and couldn’t wear one for 9 months. We’d go out and women would flirt with him right in front of me!!! He never flirted back he’s not like that, but after a few times of me witnessing that we got him a cheap larger size. It’s very disrespectful watching women trying to pick up your hubby in front of you! Tell him okay if you don’t wear yours, I won’t wear mine🤔

It’s so sad how wedding rings are so devalued now. People used to wear them because it was a symbol of love and devotion towards the sanctity of marriage and each other. Now no one really cares to wear them yet spends thousands on them. Makes absolutely no sense. It’s just one reason why infidelity is so high. Morals are no more.

My dad didn’t wear his at all bc he said he didn’t like how it felt on his finger… he cheated on my mom with multiple ppl over the 13 year marriage… I’d be careful… my dad didn’t wear his bc it showed other women he was married and it was harder to get with them…

Oh shut up who cares fu***

My husband and I don’t wear ours. He was working in manufacturing and couldn’t wear it for safety reasons and my fingers swelled at times and it became painful. If you agree to it, it isn’t an issue.

I had mine cut off years ago due to injury, and hubby has never worn his due to work.
We both know we are still married.

I think context matters….

I don’t think it’s a big deal if he doesn’t want to wear one and never has but if he after a long period of wearing it, doesn’t want too…than I would think it’s weird

I’ve been married for almost 9 years… we don’t have rings. We got married with no rings. The ring doesn’t make us married. Just my opinion. If it bothers you maybe explain to him why it bothers you.

Depends on the personal preferences…some religions or sects of religions don’t. Some prefer not to if they work heavily with hands like mechanics, plumbers, heating system maintenance (boilers/furnaces).
How comfortable would they be with you not wearing yours if they choose not to wear theirs provided you both have bands? As long as the couple is happy and agree with eachother and there’s communication and trust I see no issue with none.

It’s his choice. I know many couples that don’t wear their wedding rings or bands. To me it’s not a big deal to be honest. A ring doesn’t mean commitment how you are in your relationship does.

My husband wore one the day we got married and hasn’t wore one since. It’s literally just a piece of jewelry

I guess it’s just preference. My husband and I have been married for 6 years now and we never take ours off unless it’s to clean it. I love wearing mine and he does too.

Then he dont wanna be a husband. Start calling him your boyfriend or baby daddy. :smiling_imp:

If it matters to you, then it should matter to him. And that’s what matters!

We’ve not worn ours since our wedding day. My husbands job would destroy his, and I hate stuff on my fingers! It’s not a big deal go us. I do understand though, I have family members who, the rings are very important too.

My husband has one that broke 5 years ago . I have a ring I wear . He never replaced it and honestly I could care less lol

My brother and his wife dont wear rings at all. Neither of them. Its just not their style. And they have such a great marriage. As long as hes faithful and he’s not trying to hide the fact that hes married, i wouldnt worry. If he doesn’t care about it one way or another, that’s how he feels and it’s not his fault. We feel how we feel.

Not a hill worth dying on. Some men aren’t sentimental OR jewelry people some women too! It’s a personal preference let him be comfortable not controlled.

I couldn’t care less about wedding ring. I did it because my husband wanted us to have rings.

Been together since 2014, neither of us wear a ring :woman_shrugging:t2:

My husband can’t wear one at work cuz he makes batches of medications. But when we first got married, he bought a ring. But never really liked it. He eventually pawned it. We’ve been married 25 yrs and he’s been looking to buy one. It never really bothered me that he doesn’t wear one.

This sounds a little petty and insecure

mine hasn’t worn one since like a month after we got married and it’s been 8 years, it really doesn’t matter. just a piece of jewelry :woman_shrugging:t2:

He’s being sketchy and gaslighting you

I may not be a good one to comment on this. I don’t buy anything expensive bc I’m terrible with jewelry. Must be ADHD or something but without even thinking of it I’ll be playing with the backs or my earrings, sliding my ring on and off, twirling my necklace… Then take it off and completely forget where I put it.
Not the type for diamonds that’s for sure.
If it means so much to you and it’s ‘no big deal’ to him then why not just wear it?
I get it on that aspect but also again am the type that doesn’t usually wear jewelry so it’s a good thing I’m not married lol.
