*carrie* Â Â 10 #13 Posted September 2, 2008 I'd hope if I was married that my OH would want to wear a ring. I think it's a mutual promise and don't see why one ought to let the world know they're married while the other doesn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Jabberwocky   46 #14 Posted September 2, 2008 Im not even married and I wear one.  I wear it to show that Im with the last woman Ill ever be with and even though we arent "Officially" married, Im with her through thick and thin and will ALWAYS be faithful to her and only her.    unless Im really drunk or the totty I fancy has huge thighs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

illuminati   10 #17 Posted September 2, 2008 My dad and grandad never wore them at work because as other posts say it is dangerous if you injure your finger/hand at work as would have to be cut off. Can also be dodgy if reaching inside electrical equipment. I don't wear mine because I haven't got one yet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
jongo   10 #18 Posted September 2, 2008 I used to wear one all the time but after nearly losing my finger with catching and trapping it at work a few times I had to cut it off and not worn any sort of ring since   Edit: before anyone says anything I cut the ring off, not the finger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Allen   38 #21 Posted September 3, 2008 It's been on my finger for 32 years, and I've never, ever, taken it off. Well, only once when the hospital insisted because I was having an operation on my elbow. It then lived on a chain around my neck for 3 weeks until returning to it's rightful place.

brianthedog   10 #23 Posted September 3, 2008 I'm getting married next year and will be wearing one. Not keen on rings on men so it's been a tough decision. Married men without wedding rings always look a bit sleazy to me though... I have very bad eczema so will have to take it off occasionaly.
