Fiancé doesn't want ring

My FH said he didn't want a wedding ring when we first got engaged and set the date. It was his choice and i had to respect that. Fast forward a year and he's more keen to wear a wedding ring than me!! He wasn't going to wear it at work for safety reasons but now he's changed jobs he can

I work in a kitchen and I take my ring off for work - I don't want to get it all nasty and I don't want to compromise my work by trying to be gentle because I'm wearing a ring.

When I get off I put it back on, but never at work, and I know quite a few people who do the same.

It's that or you run the risk of him taking it off for X project and losing it, which is exactly what happened to me.

ETA I had the word because in the same sentence three times. Re-grammar'd

Check out QALO rings like other people mentioned. They're silicon and supposedly really comfortable.

Also take him ring shopping for metal ones so he can at least try on a few to see if he might like them before he shuns them completely. The do make a lot men's bands in Comfort Fit.

OP - I see most of my male supervisors take rings off when typing. Just put the ring on the top part of the keyboad.

It's a thing to get used to, that's for sure! The internet is full of ring horror stories, for your sanity do not look it up. So I get where he's coming from. Yeah it sucks but it's his decision.

A tattoo is an awesome alternative.

I don't think not wearing a ring to work is a big deal as long as he wears it other places or gets a ring tattoo.

I have the opposite problem. FH wants his ring now. Lol. Our wedding is 14 months out, but he wants everyone to know he is engaged. It's so cute!

Mine didn't want to. And I'm fine with that, my dad never wore one except for weddings, fancy ocassions. But he's in construction and FH works for Comcast. But it doesn't bother me

Last week we went scoping out wedding bands for me to get idea on price and he saw some he liked and I think he's coming around to it

But I don't really care either way. Not sure why

My FH works in a warehouse and has opted for a silicone ring so he can wear it all the time. It was less than $30, if you'd want to buy one for him to try.

My FH has fat fingers and he works with his hands so we decided for him to get a tattoo and he will wear his ring on weekends and when we go places..

My FH was so excited..picked out a solid black band himself but we are getting him a cheaper one for work since works at a paint shop...u could suggest a tattoo band?

My dad has never worn a wedding ring. Apparently Prince William doesn't wear one either! DH has one (a reeeeeeally cool tungsten and carbon fibre band!) but he doesn't always wear it - he was initially uncertain if he even wanted one but decided that he did. I don't feel any less married because he doesn't wear it all the time.

My FH thought his ring was uncomfortable at first. I told him that I felt the same way when I got my e-ring (I never wore rings), but I got used to it. Basically I told him to suck it up and he did. But a silicone ring may be the way to go if your FH can't get on board.

Ugh yes. I know the feeling. He just thinks it will be uncomfortable and compared it to a watch as well. We had a serious talk after I gave him crap about it for months. I just told him how much it meant to me, and even though he disagrees that it's a big deal, he's seeing the light a bit. I *made* him go look at rings and he actually picked one out he likes a lot, so we're on the road to recovery

Mine already wears a ring on the middle finger of that hand. He's a litt6worried about feeling like his ring is on the wrong finger, but overall really excited for his band.

Honestly, I wish we didn't have to wear a ring. I hate jewelry, no watches, necklaces, nothing. It will take a lot to get used to

Mine doesn't want to wear one because he's not comfortable wearing them and I don't mind at all. I'm not a jewelry person at all and only wear my ring sparingly. I don't see the rings as the show of commitment. He did that by asking me to marry him and we will be with our vows. So if not wearing a ring makes him comfortable, I'm all up for it. We're exchanging rings and he'll probably wear the band on occasions such as weddings we attend as couples but that's it. I don't think it's a fight to take on if jewelry isn't his thing. If you FH did wear watches and jewelry when working and was just refusing the band, obviously that's weird but that doesn't seem the case here.

He's not being difficult- it's realistic. That's 100% not safe- and typically not allowed to wear jewelry in shops. The ring gets caught in something it could deglove his finger- go ahead- google that. #fairwarning

And who cares. #notthehilltodieon

FH wears his on a chain when he can. Otherwise he doesn't wear one. I don't care- he's not going anywhere. I don't wear mine 100% of the time- it's not realistic.

I'm not really into jewelry, but after wearing my ring for a week it became apart of my hand. Is it possible that he has this though of what wearing a ring would be like, but he is wrong. I hate bracelets because they get caught on things and move way to much, my ring dosnt move or get caught on things (usually).

Could you ask him to try and keep an open mind, maybe wear it during your honeymoon. Also I have heard that the silicon ones are supers comfy. I would also have him look at rings that are light weight and on the thinner side.

My FH won't be wearing his wedding ring on his finger while at work. He works for Chicago PD and doesn't feel safe wearing a ring. He feels like he will be putting his family at risk. So he will wear his ring on a chain under his vest at work. And then on his finger when he is off duty

I've told this story before, I'll tell it again.

My ex fiance's dad was an electrician. He wore his wedding band all the time. He was working a job, somehow forgot his insulated boots/something went wrong, and the next thing you know he was electrocuted. He survived. However, his ring was burned into his skin and doctors decided it was safer to leave the ring than to try to remove it/the finger (I don't know why, couldn't tell ya). The skin has grown over the ring and now he has to carry a card around that says he will always go off in metal detectors, don't do MRI's, etc. At that point in time, he had never worn another piece of jewelry since.

I feel like you're sort of taking your FH's concerns lightly. Please don't. He knows his job and knows what could be dangerous and how. Also, if he isn't comfortable wearing jewelry, then he's not comfortable. Get him an awesome tattoo on his ring finger. Win-win. Just take his feelings and thoughts more seriously.
