I still wear mine, unless I am doing something really dirty or working on a vehicle. I actually did not want for us to get rings, but my wife insisted. Now she is the one that doesn't wear hers. Basically she only puts them on when she goes to church or to visit with family, and even then not all of the time. Since she made such a big deal about us getting rings, that surprises me. Now about that myth that a ring on a man's hand attracts women .... its a myth! No woman has ever come on to me while I was wearing a ring. Of course it may just be because I don't hang out in swingers bars  |

I haven't worn my ring since 14 years ago. So I only wore it for 4 years. I figure, why?

I took mine off after a particularly nasty row a short time back (6 weeks?). If H remembers our wedding anniversary this year, I *might* consider putting them back on, emphasis on *might.*

I used to fiddle with mine too. It almost becomes an appendage. I hardly ever took it off for anything. I sent my AP a dick pic with my hand in it, and I had my wedding ring on. I was pretty embarrassed about that. Ironic though because she's the one who wouldn't leave her marriage. But yeah when it came off for good it felt weird for a while.

I chucked mine into Bass Strait in a fit of pique at one point.
It sleeps with the fishes.

It was a great dramatic gesture.
It achieved nothing.

The ubiquitous wedding ring, the alleged symbol of marital love. Just another piece of social bullshit to bind us to something that does not exist. I wore mine for 46+ years and can in hindsight see no personal benefit to the archaic practice of public shackling.
I took mine off 8 weeks ago when my finger was swollen. I have often joked that the indentation into my finger and untanned skin would never go away. But it did.
The W has made a few snide remarks about my not wearing the ring but only in a public setting. I believe she lacks the balls to address her feelings in private. I will only consider wearing it again if she can convince me through continual action that she wants to be my lover.

I took mine off 6 months ago, after my " reset education". (Part of that education came from EP and my councilor) I have never removed it all 23 yrs. my youngest daughter asked me in front of my wife, " dad why is your ring sitting there next to the bed?" I told her, " it hurts too much to wear it." Sent her on her way. I left out the word " emotionally " .
The fact that my wife still wears hers, is no longer worth pondering over.

I wasn't married for long to my refuser just a year. After decide to divorce him 3 months in, I tried to avoid wearing my rings. But with vigilant c*** mil I could always do that. I would take it off and leave it in my car when I would fly out to see my mother. My ex would not wear his giving lame excuse.
Now I take my rings off when I get home so they don't get damaged when I clean or deal with stuff outside and then forget to put it in. Hubby rarely wears his since he constantly works outside or in the barn and I actually told him to take it off before he does that. Funny enough he does attract more female attention than he is wearing it

My H wears his...I haven't worn mine. He doesn't seem to mind. He likes the idea of us. |

As we are not married I can only talk about my engagement ring. I always always wore it. We split for 3 and a half years back in 2002. He gave it to his mother who wore it all the time we were split... Weird!!! We got back together (big mistake) and he gave me the same bloody one back. Tight git! I have worn it constantly ever since, until recently when I was trying to get him to go to therapy after I told him we were through and he gave me the "I was sexually abused" story. He was not taking me seriously and the removal of the ring was the only thing that had any effect on him. He only agreed to go if I put the ring back on. So I did. Good little refused girl that i am (pah!) That was a couple months ago now and it has only come off since while I've been at boxing. I think he sees it as his claim to me. Petrified that if I'm seen without it someone will whip me away from him. He's had 2 engagement rings from me. The dog ate the first one right off his finger... I was not impressed. It had a diamond. I didn't care enough to rifle through dog plop to retrieve it though! Not a clue what happened to the second. He just said he didn't know where it went. I could easliy lose mine too couldn't I know I think about it  I love not wearing it. Gives me a sense of freedom. |

I stopped wearing my rings a few years ago after discussing the lack of intimacy, and the fact that I felt like we were just friends/coparents...
