POLL: so now that we're all used to the rings...

do you still follow the same routines with your e-ring that you did when you first got engaged?

for example, if you used to take it off when you went to sleep, do you still do that?

I still do the same with my rings (i don't sleep or shower with them .... no doing dishes with them either unless it's just one cup or something)

The same. But then again I never treated them very nicely to begin with. I'm the worst bride ever.

Scratch that- the worst girl ever.

i wear mine all the time, except for when i know my hands will get really messy, like making meat balls for example.

i shower with mine on too.

not necessarily ...

when I told MIL that i don't wear my rings 24/7 she was in shock ... she said that SHE wears hers all the time and she couldn't fathom why i wouldn't do the same

... so apparently, the fact that i take my rings off at times means i'm a horrible horrible person / woman / wife

by that logic, you're the best bride ever!

Re: POLL: so now that we're all used to the rings...

I guess about the same... I do shower and do dishes etc with them on...

I've always taken off my e-ring to sleep... and I still do that, but I do leave on my wedding band when I sleep...

Re: POLL: so now that we're all used to the rings...

I used to take my ering off to shower...now the only time I take either ring off is when I'm doing something like making meatloaf and i don't want them to get all gunky

I dunno if that's treating them better or worse though

Re: POLL: so now that we're all used to the rings...

I almost never wear my engagement ring anymore.. unless we're going out or something. I'm just so much more comfortable in my bands.. I don't know.

Re: POLL: so now that we're all used to the rings...

i do the same as i did before. they come off when i go to bed and back on before i leave in the morning. i always take them off if im doing anything dirty, dishes or cooking that involves getting gross, and putting lotion on.

i work in a jewelery store and some of the dirt and food that i see in rings is sooo gross!!!

Re: POLL: so now that we're all used to the rings...

same but I am not as cautious when I am doing things I guess because I am just used to it now.

Re: POLL: so now that we're all used to the rings...

I used to wear them ALL of the time... sleeping, showering, cooking, cleaning... now I takenthem off when I'm doing any of these things. I'm not sure why other than the fact that my e-ring was always getting dirty.

how funny i have the same feeling too about the *naked* part :)
especially when I left it at home one day going to work...

I used to keep them the whole time even doing the dishes and cooking but it made the ring looked dull because of the grease and dirt but at that time I just couldn't take it away from me. Now, I don't do that anymore and my rings looked clean and shiny all the time so I treat them better :)
