Married ladies... Do you wear YOUR rings every day?

Danielle's post got me thinking about the flip side of men wearing/not wearing their rings... I was with DH 4 years before we were engaged, and I never got used to wearing the ring every day. I work from home a lot, so many days I wake up and just don't put it on. It's a family piece, not something...

I work from home a lot, so many days I wake up and just don't put it on. It's a family piece, not something he bought, but I don't think that's why - I think honestly, in my heart before I had a ring, I felt married so now I don't feel like adding a ring changes the way I feel. Or, maybe it really is just that the rings aren't what I'd have chosen for myself, though I do like them. Not sure. Either way, I often forget to put them on when I'm running errands or other stuff, though I always wear them if I'm going to the office, or we're going on a date.

With SO much emphasis/advertising/hype about rings, I wonder: am I the only one like this?

    I wear it 24/7 unless I work on the helicopters.

    Shower, sleep, adventure - it stays on. Even at the sandy beaches.

    I wear my wedding ring and engagement ring each day, whether I'm staying at home or going out. And like what @Jess said, DH got me an expensive ring, why let it sit at home when I can wear it?

    I wore my E ring everyday. And now I wear both my e ring and my wedding band everyday. I only take it off to cook and clean the dishes.

    My FH and I got engagement tattoos (as seen on my profile pic) so we wouldn't have to wear a rings all the time. I'm too fidgety with rings and don't really like wearing them. So we got tattoos so we'll always have our "rings" on no matter what. He did buy me a diamond wedding band later, though, for the ceremony and so he could officially get down on one knee and put a ring on my finger (so sweet!). And he's getting a diamond and Tungsten ring for the ceremony as well. Oh and we got these free wedding bands just for attending some Bridal Registry thing where they tried to sell us cookware. So we will have a couple of rings if we should have the need to wear one, like for job interviews or special occasions.

    Not married yet, but I will do the same thing I do now. I don't wear it while cleaning with abrasive chemicals. I don't wear it showering/washing dishes/swimming, unless I am at a friend's pool and forgot to leave it at home. I don't wear it rock climbing or to the gym, unless I'm coming straight from work. I'd be too worried about losing it or damaging it doing those things.

    I do because they're pretty. I just like looking at them, and can't feel them anymore. The only time I don't wear them is if it's arm and back day at the gym because the weights I use will scratch them. I have a silicone ring to wear on those days.

    Do I think the rings make the difference between me feeling married and not married? Yeah, kind of, especially when I'm out and about. Without them, I know I'm married, but no one else does.

    I usually wear them out of the house every day, but I'll often take it off to shower/do dishes/sleep and then not put them back on until I leave the house again.

    I wear mine all the time. I'll take them off to shower or wash dishes, and sometimes forget to put them back on for a few hours. But as soon as I realize they aren't on, I have to go find them or my hand feels naked.

    I wear mine everyday. I work with a lot of guys and contractors who come in and out of the building, so I feel more comfortable with an outward sign of my status.

    I wore them a lot at first but I don't anymore. I kept catching it on things at work plus the chickens are attracted to shiny diamonds and will peck my hands.

    Yes, almost always. I take them off to wash my face and shower because I get a rash if I get soap stuck underneath them and I've forgotten to put them back on a couple of times. I like knowing where they are and being able to see them on my hand.

    I wear mine on days I leave the house (most days). If I stay home for the day, most often the rings don't get put on.

    I'm not married yet but I wear my engagement ring everyday unless I forget to put it on in the morning, which doesn't happen often. I love it and love to show it off and wear it Smiley smile

    I was previously married before this one and only took it off when we were officially divorced. This time around, I generally always have on my engagement ring-- unless I'm cleaning or taking a shower. However, once we get married, it'll be the same for the wedding band, but I'll put up my engagement ring so that nothing happens to it. Both rings are made of expensive material so I really don't want anything to happen to them if I'm cleaning with bleach or something like that.

    Mine come off when I'm home. I will wear plain wedding band when I'm home after I'm married. I'll wear the wedding set out of the home.

    Nope, I just don't like wearing rings constantly. I don't know anyone that would "read into it" unless you are a celebrity and featured regularly in gossip magazines. I don't know who in real life would notice rings or cares whether or not they are on.

    I wear my e-ring and band every day. I take it off to sleep, shower, put on hand lotion, and if I'm cooking something particularly messy.

    We decided not to have e-rings. But I basically never take my wedding ring (which is a plain gold band) off.

    Yip, 24/7 except for when I'm biking or at the gym. Or swimming. I still stare at them obsessively!
