MemberDid it take a while to get used to wearing it? I’m a waiting bee and sometimes I take the ring that I always wear on my right hand ring finger and put it on my left hand ring finger. And it just feels WEIRD. I can only wear it for 5 minutes because my OCD kicks in and says this is wrong and not in the right place!
MemberI’m the opposite. I don’t have a ring yet, and my finger feels weird without one. haha
MemberIt took me about 4-5 months to get used to it. I never wear jewelry so it was a BIG change. but after a while, it will start to feel weird when you’re not wearing it (like you’re naked lol). It just takes time
MemberMy fiance (back when he was still “boyfriend”) gave me a promise ring a few years ago that I wore on my right ring finger. When I got it, it felt extremely weird and I constantly fiddled with it…so I assumed that it would be the same thing with my engagement ring. However, it’s been a little over a month now and I can honestly say that it feels natural. I don’t fiddle with it at all. I just stare at it all day.
I WILL say this though…sometimes, I have moments of panic. I no longer wear my promise ring and sometimes when I look at my right hand and don’t see a ring there, I think that I’ve lost my engagement ring. I guess I got used to having a ring on my right hand that I’ve begun to just expect *something* there. I’ve already been haunted by nightmares of losing my engagement ring–and I don’t lose ANYTHING. The anxiety and panic has gotten so bad that I’ve made sure to insure my ring through homeowner’s insurance!
MemberI actually was totally worried that it would be impossible for me to wear the ring because I NEVER wear jewelry… ESPECIALLY not rings.
But, actually, I took to wearing it quite easily. In fact, I often “feel” it on my finger even when it’s not there lol.
MemberI’ve had mine for 5 months and just last week started forcing myself to keep it on all day. I keep forgetting to wear it. I go out with my husband and tell him that I look like his mistress because he never takes his off and I always forget mine. Hopefully, I’ll get used to it soon.
MemberYeah, it felt really weird to have it on there for a little bit, but I got used to the feeling pretty fast.
MemberI thought it would be weird but its not its easy to get used to. It was weird for him at first but now he feels weird without it. 🙂
MemberIt took me a good 4-5 months to get used to it. I had a pearl promise ring prior to the e-ring, but the e-ring felt so much heavier! Even though it’s been almost a year since we’ve been engaged, I still catch myself staring at it and playing with it. =P
MemberI’ve always worn rings on my left ring finger so it wasn’t that weird to wear initially. What was weird to me was that I had a ring that had SUCH meaning behind it and I was totally cautious about wearing it and would be staring at it all the time. It’s been over 3 months now and now it’s totally normal but I do still stare at it a lot.
MemberNo! I love it and its so nice feeling it there and looking down at it. I even thought that when I first got engaged.
MemberIt was weird, because even though I wore rings sometimes, this one I would wear all the time! It was much too big at first too, so I was always paranoid about losing it or something. It sticks up higher than I thought I’d be okay with, but that just took some getting used to (and slamming the ring on the edge of the desk a couple times). Now when I take it off to shower I notice my thumb feeling for the ring and nothing is there, and that feels weird. It still is a little scary to think about how much money is just hanging out on my finger, but I love my ring too much to not wear it.
MemberIt felt a little wierd the first few weeks of wearing it but now if I take it off, my finger feels really odd..
MemberIt was weird for me too, because I’m also not use to wearing jewelry. But, once I go to take it off to wash my hands or clean dishes….it’s just so pretty. Hee hee I also love wearing it around now to show my commitment and my fiancée’s great taste. 
Member@Leelee26: Hahaha I totally do the same thing. I am so not used to wearing anything on my left hand!!!!!!
