    and I'm freaking out!!!  Luckily I have a 1/2 day at work so I can go right home and get it - but I've never done this before!! AHHHH!!

    Anyone else ever forget to put their ring(s) on??

    OMG worst feeling ever!!! I have a necklace that holds charms and I put my ring on there sometimes if I have to take it off.

    I had to do that this morning and I forgot to put it back on. I FREAKED when I saw that my ring finger was bare, I thought I forgot to put it on!

    Doesn't your heart just drop??

    I've forgotten once or twice. Just feel a little naked until I get a chance to put them on again.

    Yes! I have! The first time it happened I was pretty upset, I had a mini freak out. Also, my rings are super snug so I fiddle with them a lot through out the day and when I would do that and they weren't there I'd have a 5 second panic attack that I lost them.

    I did it a second time and it wasn't so bad, just felt a little naked. Hopefully I don't do it again!

    I have and it sucked!  My finger felt so naked and my heart dropped when I realized (but then went back to normal once I figured out where they were).

    Yes, I have forgotten my rings in the past and I hate it!  It usually happens when my morning routine is disrupted or really rushed.  I used to forget my engagement ring more when I first got it; it doesn't happen nearly as often now.

    I usually take out my ring when I'm working with fondant and when I forget to put it back on I freak out. I've gone out once with FI after doing a cake and I was like NOOOOO go back home, he's like hmmm why? I'm like "I need to put my baby on!!!". His answer: No need to go back, just put it on when we get back home!, arghh... face slap lol

    I forgotten a few times. I can't wear it at work I work in a deli and already dinged it off a slicer. So I don't want to ruin it. I usually only wear it on my days off or when we go out. I always feel weird without it because when I do wear it I always use my thumb to check to make sure its still there even when I am not wearing it. lol Will say SUCKS to forget on my days off 8[

    i take off my ring when i wash my hair  cause it get's tangled in my curls. some mornings i'm in such a rush i leave it in the bathroom only to realize once i get to the office. then i spend all day missing it lol.

    which is hysterical becuase i'm not a jewelry person by ANY means (my ring is the singular piece of real jewelry I own) but I feel like i'm practically missing a finger on those days lol

    I've forgotten it maybe once or twice, and it's a little weird, but doesnt bother me enough to waste time going back to get it if I've gone more than half mile down the road.  A few times I just backed out of the driveway and realized and went back into get it.

    I ran up the road a couple of weeks ago to get coffee and forgot my ring. I noticed when I handed the cashier my money and was like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...As soon as I got home I put it on and had a pep talk with it. LOL!

    lol, I guess I'm just not that hugely sentimental 'cause I forget mine all the time. I take it off for one thing or another at home and forget to put it back on then realize a few hours later. Though now that I found a ring snuggie to make it fit better I'm not taking it off as often, which is good.

    Just once, before I went to bed - it was right after we got the ring, and I woke up and had a moment of panic because it wasn't on my finger. I went stumbling through the dark, stepped on the dog, and almost took a dive down the stairs. It was pretty epic.

    It makes me uncomfortable to not have it on, just because I'd hate to lose it - even though we have insurance, etc. Whenever I do take it off, I always tell FI exactly where I'm putting it as a precaution against the forget-and-freak-out reaction.

    My finger feels too naked without it. I usually realize it's missing either as I'm walking downstairs or backing out of the driveway. I think I'd die without my wedding ring on. LOL

    I've forgotten it a couple times already and I only got engaged a few months ago. Whoops! 

    The first time I forgot I kind of freaked, but after that I realized it's not a huge deal. (To me...I think FI thinks after all the money that went in to it I better never take it off!)

    I've forgotten it once, and I felt pretty naked the whole day. I didn't like it at all. I was tempted to get a stand-in and leave it in my wallet! haha.

    I've done it 2-3 times. I voted I freaked because I wasn't happy about it but I won't turn around or drive home to go get it if I do forget.

    Yep! I did once, but I realized it as soon as I got in the car and I made my FI turn around so I could run back in and get it.

    I actually forgot yesterday. It usually isn't a big deal, but I had a coworker visit from another office and he asked to see the ring. And then I went to a dress salon after work to try on dresses and felt a little naked without the ring.

    I've never forgotten to put on my engagement/wedding rings (yet) but...

    I have been wearing different rings on both hands every day since high school. when I forget to put them on, my hand feels different.  I keep freaking out when I don't feel anything there, and then relief when I remember they're at home, I did not lose them. 

    wearing a few rings has always been part of my look, so I feel plain and kind of naked without them too.

    I did the opposite - before we were "out" at work (we work together and no one had any idea we were even dating), I forgot to take my ring off in the morning and accidentally wore it to work!  I did a good job hiding it that day.

    I only wear mine on weekends (my cohort doesn't know we're engaged yet). I'm always worried that I will forget it because I feel weird without it. I've done it maybe once and felt strange all day.

    I remembered before I got out of the building and went back upstairs to put it on.  I've never not worn it out of the house.  It will be weird when I send it to get plated.

    I have forgotten to put it on and I felt naked without it. I switched my right hand ring over but it didn't feel the same.

    oh no YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS DOOMED.

    Just kidding. :)

    Ya know, whenever someone talks about forgetting to put on their ring(s) I always think of celebs and how everybody freaks out if they're photographed while they aren't wearing them. Come on guys, they're human too - they forget to put it back on after they shower too!

    I have forgotten a few times and I always hate it!  For a while I had a cheap silver ring in my car that I'd taken off over the summer when my fingers were swollen and kept forgetting to bring back inside, so I would stick that on (clearly it was in my car a while) so I didn't feel naked.  I hate not wearing rings, engagement ring or not!

    Yeah, I have forget it a few times at home when I am in a hurry to get out of the door. I always think people in the office notice and think they must be having problems shes not wearing her ring.
