How long after marriage do you continue to wear your engagement ring?

This just came to mind but how long are you expected to wear engagement ring after you get married. I remember my former boss had been married for like 15 years and still wore her engagement ring along with band. My other coworkers just wear their band.

    My engagement ring IS my wedding ring...its a claddagh, so it just gets turned around after marriage.

    It came with a band. so I do wear that too, but I wouldn't wear just the band, it would look weird. (My particular one would.)

    Forever. My band hugs the curves of my e-ring so it would look silly alone, IMO. But I know a few people who only wear a simple band, mostly because of thier work environment.

    I will be wearing both, except for times it is more appropriate to wear just the band (gardening, traveling abroad, etc.)

    My engagement ring and wedding band fit together so I will be wearing them both for as long as we are married and they're well cared for.

    Planning to always wear both unless my job/hobby/etc make the engagement ring impractical for day to day. So far I've had zero issues with it being in the way but Im not soldering mine so I can wear just the scalloped band if I want to certain days

    Planning to always wear it. However being a nurse with constantly gloves going on and off makes me nervous of affecting the prongs. I heard of someone taking their gloves off and the ring went in the trash with the gloves. That's the only time I'll only wear a band - at work.

    I think it depends on personal preference. My mother always wore hers together. My e-ring is a family ring from 1890s and I'm terrified it will break so I might consider wearing only my band

    I think not wearing the engagement ring after you're married is a dated idea. Now most people get them put together into one ring

    I didn't get a wedding band, it's really not a normal thing in my culture, so I'm wearing my "engagement" ring (which I now just call my wedding ring) forever. Or until I decide I just want a band or something (maybe with babies or something?).

    I wear both and will likely continue to do so for the rest of my life.
