My FI is a mechanic, so he can't really wear a ring at work, but I made him promise to wear it any time he isn't at work. Is your FI going to wear his ring?
Yup, he only takes it off to work out. I understand the mechanic thing though, that can be dangerous!
He thinks it's going to be weird, but I pretty much told him he had to, and that he will get used to it. I don't wear much jewelry either, so I'm still getting used to my e-ring! But I really think once he gets used to it, it won't be a problem.
My FH is going to wear his. I'd be upset with him if he didn't.
However, in your case: it's totally understandable! I know a mechanic that actually wears his on a chain, under his clothes & overalls. I hear that even that can get risky.
yup! the boy is really looking forward to wearing a ring and makes the occasional comment about it every once and again. i think it's so cute.
I could understand why your FI wouldn't want to wear a ring. I've heard of instances where mechanics have rings "tattoed" on . . ,
My FI will wear his ring...he is actually excited about it. I didn't force the issue, he actually considered it a non-issue...like of COURSE I am wearing a ring.
DH was totally opposed to wearing a ring all the time. He said he would exchange them and wear it socially...but b/c of his job which is a lot of working with his hands he didn't want to wear one all the time. I didn't press it, but he totally about faced on it after our wedding. He doesn't sleep in it (neither do I), but it's literally the first thing he reaches for in the morning. Even I don't always put it on first thing!
I think the mechanic thing is pretty understandable. YOu might consider a more durable material (fizicGuy's is titanium). And though we did not do this, advice I got from another married guy who can't wear his ring while working was to get two. Apparently his wife did this...she keeps the one they exchanged in a safe and he wears a second b/c she knows he's liable to lose it :)
FI and I had this conversation the other day. He doesn't think he'll wear his ring much because he thinks he works with his hands too much. I started laughing at him and reminded him he worked a bank.
Both my dad and his dad do not wear their wedding bands. I don't think I'll be offended if he doesn't wear it, but I would prefer he does.
I don't think he'll wear his most of the time (hopefully for special occasions at least). He isn't a "jewelry" guy - he doesn't even wear a watch. Also neither of our dads (both still married) wears one. I asked him whether he even wants one if he'll rarely wear it, and he said he does want to have one.
It's not that big a deal to me. It would be kind of cool if he wore it but it's not something I'd make an issue of.
Mine does NOT! I am over it ... but at first I really wanted him to. He didn't even bring it on our honeymoon! We've been married a few weeks now and he hasn't put it on yet.
My guy is not allowed to wear any jewelry at his work because it's considered dangerous so he's getting his ring tattooed so he has an "everyday" ring and I'm getting him a ring to wear outside of work.
YES he's wearing it. He's excited about it. It's cute cause he's not a jewelry guy. I also can't wait for him to wear it so he is branded as mine :)
I am so glad you asked this because I was thinking about it this morning. My FI is a chef so we're not sure if it will be a good idea for him to wear his ring to work or not. It's not quite like the mechanic situation, there are plenty of chefs that do wear their wedding bands. When we were talking about it, he said "I don't think I'll wear it to work but I'll wear it when I'm with you." That sounds silly to me - what is the point of having a wedding ring if you aren't going to wear it most of the time (I can't see him wearing it when we are bumming around the house which we do a lot)? I think in the end after talking it out, we agreed that he wouldn't wear it while he was working, just put it in a safe place during his shift and then put it back on after.
Mine likely won't. He was very up front about it and I'm pretty much over it. He can't stand jewellery - won't even wear a watch. I'm not really too concerned about it...we'll still be just as married with or without a ring :)
Mine probably will not wear his ring. When he was like 12 he got shot with a bb in his left ring finger, and he never got it taken out so his knuckle has a huge bump sticking out. I doubt he can get a ring on that would being huge.
FI will wear his ring, but he didn't know you're technically supposed to keep it on all the time. He said he thought you were supposed to take it off to go to bed... because apparently that's what his dad always did. I just told him if he does that, he'd probably forget to put it on again, knowing him ;)
He said he will. He thinks it might be weird since he doesn't wear jewelry, but I think he'll be fine!
FI never wears jewelry so it will take some time for him to get used to it-- but yes, I'm making him wear one, haha. Unless he's at the gym or playing basketball... that I can understand. :)
if my BF doesn't want to wear a ring, i'm making him get a tattoo ring so it never goes away! ahahaha!
I don't think he's going to. He is a bike mechanic. I'm going to get him one though for the ring exchange. They've got cute mountain bike tread rings.

Ladies...this thread has been so comforting to me. In Korea a lot of men don't wear their rings (women too), so I got really confused when I first got here. I asked FI a little while ago if he was going to wear his (in that angry accusing...'you better' sort of voice), and he was upfront and said 'no.' He thinks a) after years of never wearing a ring it will feel strange b) other people might think he is strange. I've been secretly quite upset about this because there is no safety reason why he wouldn't be able to wear one (he is an in-office engineer) and in my background, not wearing a wedding rings is a very big no-no. So thank you...all of those who shared your stories about your guys not wearing rings because I was thinking I was all by myself on this. I'm still planning on indirectly encouraging him to wear his, but if he doesn't, then maybe I can live with it if there are other men like him out there.
Yes he is! We've spent more time looking at wedding bands for him than wedding bands for me! And I get all giddy each time he tries one on! LOVE it!
@Bamm - my dad has never worn a ring - they didn't even use one in their wedding for him. He was an ironworker so for work reasons it would have been dangerous but even outside work he never wore one - he is still as married as every other husband out there! Don't let it stress you out (although of course if your FI changes his mind, all the better!)
My FI used to be a mechanic, (he just got a new job) and wasn't going to wear one at work. He doesn't even want a wedding ring but I told him he has to have one. He isn't really the jewelry wearing type, so I'm not going to get mad if he doesn't wear it ALL the time, but when we go out and stuff of course I'm going to want him to wear it! I think hes actually kinda excited to get one. When we went to the mall last time he willingly went looking at rings. I was suprised but happy.
He won't for his job - he's an electrician. But he wants to when he's not working.
Mine will, but he'll likely work in an office. If he ever had a dirty job or anything with his hands, he wouldn't wear it.
My coworkers don't wear their rings when they're in the lab. I take mine off too.Rings are dangerous when you work around bandsaws and lapsaws and vices and deburring machines.
My dad hasn't worn one for 26 years--he used to own his own glass shop. Installing glass in cars and stuff. He's now retired and COULD wear one, but he hasn't worn one for all these years and never does now. No big deal. He has a big mafia-dude style diamond ring that he wears occassionally as his wedding ring for very fancy occassions with my mom.
You dont need a ring to be committed or show to everyone else that you are. =]
And not every culture even wears wedding rings
My fiancé has a ring tattooed on his finger as a surprise to me and it's going to be covered with his wedding band. He says that it's his engagement ring that he's never going to take off.
Yes. If he could ever decide on a ring!
For those of you with fi's/husbands in construction- his friend is in construction and his hand was saved from being injured by a HUGE concrete block by his ring. It was a tungsten carbide band. If it hadn't been for that ring, the doctors think he would have lost all of his fingers.
I know it sounds far-fetched and wouldn't believe it but I've seen the ring since- not even a scratch on it, not bent. Amazing.
Yep he wears his ring all the time unless he is working out. He learned the hard way when lifting weights and his ring pinched his finger, ouchie!
Yea he and he better if he knows whats good for him!! lol
