You should have told him to flush because he'd clearly made that decision already. | |

Posted: 7/17/2009 8:30:43 AM | | I took mine off after a couple of years of marriage and never put it back on, even though I stayed in the marriage and did not cheat on her. Finally, years into a new relationship, I had it melted down along with some other meaningless gold jewellry and had a ring made for my S.O - forging a new and meaningful relationship, in other words. | |

Posted: 7/17/2009 9:13:33 AM | I lost 3 rings, including the one he put on my finger the day we were married. He always wore his. We were together for 45 years and married for 41 until he passed away. I held his hand when he took his last breath.
It is not the ring that makes you married, it's your heart. | |

Posted: 7/17/2009 9:50:22 AM | | I didn't misplace it, but that isn't what I told my ex. He had one of his multiple cycles where he was at the top of the roller coaster. Screaming, yelling, the usually crap, and he threw his wedding band at me. This particular time I didn't flinch. I ignored it and when he finally left because I really had become numb at this point in our marriage, I picked it up and gave to my middle son to put in the safe. When my ex was half way back down his roller coaster ride and asked for it back, I said didn't know where it was. Not sure how long that was before I finally kicked him out, but I don't think it was too long. I was numb, but there is only so much you can put up with. As someone else said, it isn't the ring that makes the marriage or breaks it. The ring is just a symbol. My love was locked away to never reappear. | |

Posted: 7/17/2009 10:16:26 AM | Well i have to go back a moon or 40. I did, as i worked in a lab whence if I got certain volatile chemicals over the ring finger it burnt more than a little - so i used to take it off and stick it in lab coat pocket. We had more than a few labs dotted about the UK so long story short i left it in lab coat of a far flung location and got a row (us all us guys do sooner or later) when i came home at the weekend minus the ring of alleged eternity - which it were not but i did eventually get custody of the kittys 2 *smiles.
Mind you telling her I met someone at the local bustop and i had to sneak it off just earned me the sofa that weekend
women eh!
then she went out and blew all our savings on 100 pairs shoes/boot's and new bathroom and painted the hall blue.
I jest thee not
So the moral is erm
we stand alone in the norty corner - probably to make more room for shoes and that blue really did burn my een which is why we got divorced I think | |

Posted: 7/17/2009 3:26:46 PM | I'd never wear it to begin with even if I were married.
If i never wear it any ever, no one can b1tch about the change.
I don't like jewelry.
Anyone who expected me to wear it, wouldn't be someone I'd marry.
I want to watch Gumby. | |

Posted: 9/3/2009 6:46:57 AM | | The only time I misplaced mine was once I found out what he had done, they uh, flew out of my hands into the river. Other than that, nope, I knew where my rings were at all times when I wasn't wearing them. | |

Posted: 9/3/2009 8:21:35 AM | | Mine stays on at all times but my SO has to take his off due to his line of work. He left it in his tool box one night but I didn't care. I'd rather him take it off than lose a finger. lol | |

Posted: 9/3/2009 10:08:06 AM | I accidentally lost my wedding ring when I was married. I had taken it off and put it in the glove compartment because i was going canoeing and it was a loose fit. I was afraid I'd lose it in the water and the glove compartment would be safe, right? No. I got back to my car and couldn't find it anywhere!! I was so worried about how he'd react to my losing it, I went to the store where we bought our rings and bought another one and put it on my finger.
Several years later, he was taking the dash apart to install some new speakers and lo and behold, there sat my ring amongst the nest of wires. LOL Apparently it had fallen through a hole somewhere and landed on the wires and had been sitting there for years. He asked me about it and I came clean. He wasn't too upset with me and laughed about spending the extra $$ just to spare his feelings but told me next time, just trust him and tell him upfront. Haven't misplaced any rings since then! | |

In the Land of Mordor where the darkness lies.
OP: When I was married I wore my ring faithfully. Until the day it almost tore my finger/hand off. I was unloading a truck at the hospital. I'd finished and then was standing there talking to some co workers. My hand was still on the truckbed when the truck started to move. The ring got hung on a bolt and it dragged me a couple of feet until I could get my hand free. From then on, I didn't wear it at work. So, I didn't misplace it, but I did quit wearing it 24/7. | |

Posted: 9/24/2009 8:04:07 PM | Took off my rings at work one day to put lotion on, walked around to another cubicle and someone from another department grabbed all of them, including my wedding ring. My husband was upset for me and replaced the ring. Never said anything about how stupid it was, he just felt badly because two of the rings were irreplaceable, one a gift from my then-deceased grandmother and the other my parents had had designed for my grandmother and it was passed on to me. I don't think he ever really thought about the wedding ring's involvement beyond replacing it.
I think people that freak out and try to make it something intentional, or that it somehow reflects how seriously someone takes the marriage, that is ignorant and petty. Some men in particular really don't like/uncomfortable wearing rings and I suspect it would be harder for that type of person to keep track if they do, for example, take them off while washing hands, showering, etc.
I always had a ring holder or some other type of decorative bowl or something that I would put jewelry in usually when I went to bed. | |
