Fiancé doesn't want ring

My husband doesn't wear his. He was excited about wearing it at first. It's not safe for him to wear at work, but he would wear it when he wasn't at work. But over time, his weight has gone up and down, and it's been both too loose and too tight. He just doesn't wear it anymore. It doesn't really bother me. I often don't wear mine either. I used to, but I have a problem with my ring finger breaking out in a rash sometimes when I wear them, so I just don't sometimes. We're still just as married.

Make him tattoo it then

FH has a friend who got a rubber ring to wear since he works with his hands a lot and I think FH is planning on doing the same thing. He's still going to get a nice wedding ring but it doesn't bother me if he's not going to wear it for work, I'd rather it not get lost or ruined or something that would be sad. I get why you might not like the idea but it doesn't mean he loves you any less and doesn't make any difference to the validity of your marriage

My DH just thought it would be uncomfortable, so we bought his ring on Amazon for like $15. It is a totally normal-looking tungsten carbide ring. So, that way if he wore it for a month or so and still hated how it felt, no worries. But, I think he is used to it now after just a couple of weeks, since he wears it every day.

I also don't care that much about it though-- both of our moms wear rings that aren't the original ones from their weddings, and neither of our dads wear rings. I don't know about DH's dad, but mine wore his until he was climbing a fence, slipped, and caught his ring on the fence-- he came home and said he nearly ripped his finger off and never put the ring back on! My great grandmother was from the Church of the Brethren, which at the time didn't allow jewelry. Someone once asked her how people would know she was married if she didn't wear a ring. She said "they will know by the way I act!" and I imagine did whatever the early 1900s version of a mic-drop was

Yep. Mine is more insistent on getting a tattoo because he is an engineer in a factory, and I told him that's fine but I also would like him to have a ring. I think I finally have him agreeing to get one haha.

I work around a lot of machinery myself. It is highly discouraged that anyone in an industrial environment wear a metal ring while working. silicon rings or even just a cheap o-ring are a much better alternative. If you have a strong stomach and want to see what could haven wearing a metal ring in an industrial setting, Google search "finger skinned by ring" WARNING the images are graphic but very real. I don't think some people understand how command this actually is. I have been a witness to this happening.

My father was a mechanic. While my mother always wore her bridal set, he didn't wear his wedding ring when he was working. He would wear it when we went to family functions or the two of them went out together, but he wouldn't wear it at work. He purchased an inexpensive ring -- brass or something like that -- and he always kept in on his key ring. The good one stayed at home until the two of them went out socially, but the brass one never left his key ring.

Make of that what you will.
