    I am that guy and adamantly refuse to wear a ring. It's completely unnecessary and would make me uncomfortable 24x7.

    She won't leave home without hers, and that's her choice. It wouldn't bother me in the slightest if she never wore them, except for the fact that I paid $6,500 for the engagement ring alone.

    you can do whatever you want - but i would suggest wearing it. you do get used to it (my husband did) and it represents alot more than 'proof that you love a woman'.

    it also helps avoid messy misunderstandings because there's obvious evidence on your hand that you are taken:) wear it, and wear it proudly!

    Marriage is a private matter. I see no need to advertise my marital status by wearing a ring.

    It's more than OK. It's his prerogative to wear a ring or not.

    I do not think he needs to be required to wear a ring to prove his love. There are many other ways that he can show his love, none of which involve wearing a ring. I think the ring is to let other people know that he is married. But if you are secure in yourself and your realtionship, wearing a ring really does not matter.

    I wore a wedding ring until about 6 years ago, thinking my wife expected me to. I don't like wearing any jewelry & finally mentioned it to her. She said no prob & put it in her jewelry box & never cared. Talk to him/her & see if it matters.

    Some men, such as mechanics, and farmers their ring could get caught on something and they could lose a finger or their whole hand due to the wedding ring.

    I don't think a ring can prove to a wife that he really truly loves you if he wears it. A ring is just a symbol, it really has no significance other than that a symbol. Do you know how many men who actually wear their wedding ring cheat?

    If he doesn't like to wear jewelry don't push it on him to do so, because then he will resent it even more.

    This is like saying "I really don't want to wear jewelry, and being in love with this woman isn't enough to make me change my mind!"

    If you don't like wearing jewelry, and getting married is no excuse for you to give up your petty, 'no-jewelry' rule, then what else are you NOT willing to give up for her?

    Considering that wearing jewelry is such a very petty thing, it gives a lot of insight as far as your emotions go. You probably won't give up going out with the boys either, or won't do diapers because, well, you DON'T do diapers, period.

    Unless you're allergic to certain metals [which still beggars the question, since you can't possibly be allergic to ALL kinds of metals, including alloys] or if your job prohibits it, why not wear one?

    A ring is not a requirement to marriage IMO. If it's that big of a deal, don't wear the ring. To be honest at first I'd be a little hurt, but I'd get over it.

    My husband doesn't wear his because his body eats away at gold (weird I know). He put his on a necklace and wears it that way. He still puts it on once in a while though.
    The ring is a symbol of your love, not just proof that you are married. The reason for the ring is because it is never ending, like love should be. It is eternal. The ring symbolizes that love for your significant other. You do get used to it most of the time it will be like its not there because you get so used to it being there. I didn't wear mine to work because of my job. It would ruin the ring. Just be careful after getting used to it, it's easy to lose it. I thought I lost mine one day because it fell off into my purse. My fingers were cold and they shrank, so the ring was just big enough to fall off.

    Only if He is okay with her not wearing her ring. The ring is an outward symbol to the world that says "leave me alone I'm taken."
    -
    Many women the first thing they look for it a ring if its not there then the hunt it on. I am sure there are men who use the ring or lack of ring to decide whether to persue or not.
