Anyone else have this problem? I mean I know he doesn't wear jewelry and he doesn't like it, but its your freaking wedding band?? Does anyone else feel the same way I feel. Shouldn't he be happy to wear it regardless?
It's not that big of a deal to me, I am just going to get him the cheapest ring I can get him b/c I don't want to spend money on something that will never see the light of day again. It just sort of makes me a little sad in the heart that my own husband won't have a wedding band on.
He is into tattoos so he liked the idea of getting it tattooed on him instead of something he can take on and off lol I don't get him.

Re: FH doesn't want to wear ring
The only jewlery FH wears is a necklace his grandmother gave him before she passed away. He wears it every day. Other then that he too said he didn't want to wear a ring....but he knows he has no say haha. I'm getting him one and he will wear it proudly!!!

Re: FH doesn't want to wear ring
FH can't wear one because he is a firefighter. He said that they aren't supposed to wear rings because it could pinch his finger off..or something like that. I want him to wear his ring too!

Re: FH doesn't want to wear ring
rings have become the outward sign that you're married so i wouldnt be happy if DH didn't wear one or didn't want to. it doesnt have to be something flashy or expensive, just something.
i can understand guys not liking jewelry but its your wedding band, very symbolic.
sorry you're upset! show him how plain and masculine some of them are. its not like he has to wear pink bling, hehe.
i mean come on, how big of a sacrifice is wearing a ring?
for times when my BIL can't wear his, he's in the army, he got a tattoo around that finger like a ring. It has their wedding date, so he always has something there.

Re: FH doesn't want to wear ring
Dh wasnt interested in wearing one either but once he tried titanium he changed his mind, he almost never takes it off.
And as for the 'getting hit on part' the ring actually only makes it worse!' Especially if the wife aint around-girls are ridiculous buts it funny

Re: FH doesn't want to wear ring
Yes - my FH is the SAME way - he hates having anything on his fingers and is not a jewelry person to begin with. He's into tattoos as well and said he would get something for me and wear his ring on a chain around his neck. Plus he's in construction so he would be wearing it on the weekends only anyway.

My DH only wears his ring on weekends...when he remembers to put it on. We got him a titanium band and when he does wear it, he can't even tell that it is on. Maybe get him to try some on and see if he likes it better. They have some really cool titanium ones even black titanium is really cool. I tell my DH that it looks sexy on him to get him to wear it more.. Good luck.
i had showed DH a black wedding band and thought it looked real nice, once he saw the pic he wanted one. He ended up getting a black and silver titanium one and it is alot more his style. He also never really wore jewelry besides watches so this goes alot more with his style. We've only been married 3 weeks but he does wear it everyday
but yeah definitely try to find something more his style, theres alot of options out there

Re: FH doesn't want to wear ring

my FH and i had this discussion too. he does not want to wear a ring, but i think he needs something. so we talked about tattoos too, i persnally loved the idea of the tattoo, but i heard bad things about ring tattoos like there wear off in the inside of the finer. so we are not sure what we are going to do either
I told him that the tattoo is obviously more permanent than a piece of jewelry that he can take on and off.
Then the other night he was at a bar with his friends and he said how some girls were hitting on him. I told him to wait until he wears his wedding ring lol Maybe that will pursuade him to do it!?
if that does let me know and i'll try that approach to! lol

Re: FH doesn't want to wear ring
My father has never worn his wedding ring and my parents have been married for 35 years. He was never a jewelry person either, and he works construction so it dangerous for him to wear it to work. When I was younger I asked my mother if it bothered her and she said she trusted him, knew he loved her, and that a piece of metal did not define their marriage. Liked her answer. Think the tattoo is a nice compromise.

Re: FH doesn't want to wear ring
FH is not a fan of jewelry, but told me he is excited to wear his wedding ring. Although a tattoo is more permanent, there is something to be said about an actual wedding ring..

Re: FH doesn't want to wear ring
dh was never into jewelry and said he wasn't sure he could get used to a ring. also said he would not wear it at work because it could catch on something and he could get hurt.
I'm ok with that and when he comes home ring is first thing he goes to get. so maybe your FH will have a change after the wedding.

Re: FH doesn't want to wear ring
My FH wears a bracelet everyday and his fathers star around his neck under his clothes, but other than that- nothing. he is excited to wear his ring though- you should have seen his face when he tried it on hey- if FH wants to tatoo it on himself, I say let him! lol At least you know he won't take it off and 'forget' to wear it!

Re: FH doesn't want to wear ring
I really love the idea of the tattoo, but I have heard it's a jinx.

Re: FH doesn't want to wear ring
My DH works with his hands so wearing his ring can actually cause an injury. B/C of that, he wears his ring on holidays and our anniversary. Honestly, it doesn't bother me. I think there are A LOT of men out there who don't wear their ring. It doesn't make them less married and it doesn't mean they are still scoping out the field. If anything, put the extra money towards your ring

Re: FH doesn't want to wear ring
My husband doesn't wear any jewelry either and at first he felt it a lot on his finger, but it's sort of like your e-ring and soon your wedding band - that after a while you don't even feel it on your finger.
Like another poster mentioned- ask him to wear it for a month just to try- he probably wont feel it after a while and maybe it won't bother him. Good luck!

Re: FH doesn't want to wear ring
Honestly it doesn't bother me. Fh has an auto repair shor and because he works on cars all day, cant wear a ring because it might get caught in the engine or something. I'd rather have all his fingers than make him wear his ring to prove something. We're married and love each other and made vows so wearing a piece of gold isnt a big deal for me.

Re: FH doesn't want to wear ring
My dad doesn't wear a ring and has been happily married for nearly 44 years. I would ask him to wear it but if he really is against it I would let it go.
