xxoo Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 But if they don't they are subject to the consequences. A women could be seen as "available" or that her marriage is in trouble. Can you give a real life example of the risks and consequences? Link to post Share on other sites

Toodaloo Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 After reading this strange thread, I had to double-check to make sure that I was still living in the 21st century instead of the 19th. I think you may have your centuries confused... I had the 17th more in mind... a few floggings never went a miss you know how it goes... We could always throw a few Christians into a pit of lions. After all they seem to be out of favour at the moment so I am sure no one will miss a few. We are still talking about reasons why some people do not wear their wedding rings aren't we??? Just checking... Link to post Share on other sites
sandylee1 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I always wear my wedding ring, along with my engagement ring. I feel odd without it and I feel as though others would notice. It's not so much a matter of fidelity, but I'm proud to wear my wedding ring. It may just be a piece of jewellery, but it's symbolic to me. I do see the wearing of a wedding band as traditional and before I got married, guys when out partying would say, I can't see a ring on your finger, so you have no reason not to dance with me/go on a date with me/etc. My husband has ezcema aan doesn't always wear his ring, but will wear it when we go out together. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
gorf Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Depends what kind of man she is trying to attract. If she is at a bar with lots of drunk guys, then ring or no ring most are not going to notice. If she is at the grocery store or at the bank for example, some type of guys look at a womans hand to see if she has a ring on, and this will change how or if they approach this woman. Bottom line, a ring is jewelry. A wedding ring is a sign of commitment. A wedding ring no where to be seen shows a level of commitment, if there is any at all, below that of marriage. It is a sign of some sort of availability. So your question is, does a lack of wedding ring show a troubled marriage? I guess it depends. Did she loose it? Did she outgrow it? How often does she wear it, certain days of the week.... once a week.... or none at all. So it depends Edited September 9, 2016 by gorf Link to post Share on other sites
Just a Guy Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 And all this while I thought rings were there to be taken off if there was some hanky panky going on in the marriage! He he. But seriously, I think that men and women over a period of time have been making themselves ' available' and so it has reached a stage where ring or no ring people just take it for granted that they can ' hit' on a man or a woman irrespective of whether they are wearing their wedding rings or not. Sad that this symbol of commitment has lost it's true significance. Link to post Share on other sites

Jejangles Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 My parents have been married 41 years and I have never known them to wear wedding rings. My mom has eczema and finds all rings uncomfortable, my dad doesn't like wearing jewelry... I'd say 41 years is a pretty good length marriage so I guess they didn't need that physical sign of commitment! My boyfriend and I have discussed marriage in loose terms, and I don't think engagement / wedding rings will be in our future. I do love jewelry but don't see why a woman should have to wear an engagement ring when the man doesn't wear anything. And my boyfriend doesn't like wearing jewelry and doesn't come from a culture of wedding rings, so if he'd rather not wear one, I don't care to wear one either. We both agree the commitment we make to each other is what matters - I don't care if people around me are unsure of whether I'm "taken" or not. If they need to know, I will inform them. I am a very loyal person and stand by my word. A ring will have no impact on my commitment to my guy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Shanex Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 You're free to not wear it, and no guys should assume you are free because you don't wear one. It's a personal choice, and the worse of it is that it doesn't seem to bother some men to hit on even taken/married ladies. You said it yourself, you can outright tell them you are engaged and then not interested at all. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ASG Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I can't wear rings... I've tried many times, but they're just too uncomfortable and I end up taking them off and losing them. So if I ever get married, I doubt I'll wear a ring for any length of time. I wouldn't be opposed to putting the ring on a necklace of something, but on my fingers? it's probably not gonna work out. I know MANY people who don't wear their rings and it means nothing about their relationship. Link to post Share on other sites
