I dont mean to sound judgemental here, but would most of the people that would have a one night stand in benidorm CARE if someone wore a ring or not? i'd say for some it might be an added bonus cause then there would be no strings afterwards

Exactly - by wearing the ring is it aimed to put off the the husband from cheating, or the single (or not single ladies) on the pull?

So which is it?

To warn other people off?
Or remind a husband he's married? Does he spend the time saying over and over in his head "Must remember I'm married, Must remember I'm married - yep, that's what the ring on my finger is for"

Is this really what a good marriage is based on.

Wearing a ring is only likely to put off a small number of people, but it may attract way more. Equally it's a symbol of a weak marriage if a man has to spend the whole break away with his mates wearing a wedding ring, because if he doesn't it might cause him to cheat.

I mean how fickle are our husbands exactly - you've got a darn site more to worry about if removing a wedding ring means your husband is going to cheat, or that you're jumping to the assumption he will. There are an awful lot of insecure people out there, maybe through experience.

I started this thread out of curiousity and it's played out much as i'd thought.

As I read page one of five, I thought what a great topic for a thread. I think this will keep going.

Comments say more about the relationships people are in than the issue.

Nice one Zaffi.

My husband had an allergic reaction to his wedding ring that 'burned' a red ring into his finger - the scar faded after about a year! Funnily enough he doesn't wear the ring. He's going to be working away soon and I'm wondering if I ought to get him a ring to wear so he remembers not to cheat and as a warning sign to all the women out there likely to throw themsleves at him.....oh no hang on a minute I trust him!!

He's been on plenty of stag dos and its never occurred to me that I shouldn't trust him...ring or no ring

Wouldn't bother me in the slightest, I am one who has lost their wedding ring whilst out and about. Have replaced it with an old ring of my mothers, but whereas I like the symbol of the ring, it is not what makes our marriage solid, that is trust. I trust my husband and would not have a problem with him going, with or without wedding ring

Man Logic here, OP I would do exactly the same thing. If I was going somewhere I was going to get very drunk and basically end up waking up in the morning with a banging hangover and the remains of last nights kebab attached to my face there is no way I would have gone out with anything valuable on me in the first place.

Women your husband is either trustworthy or a lying cheating scumbag. Him wearing a ring or not is not going to change him. Having a ring on your finger is not going to make your man behave himself just because he is wearing it.

Maybe a good answer to your question would be how you feel and respond if your wife asked exactly the same question of you?
That might give you more of a clue?!

See the problem with that idea, is it wont give him a good idea as, like me, he's a man.

This may come as a shock to some posters, but men and women don't necessarily see a lot of things the same way :eek:

Hence why the OP is here sounding out second opinions

I'd freak out now, because I am quite possibly one of these "b*tches be crazy" types and would want the symbolism of my man being my man.

However I am young and not in a "till death do us part" relationship. My opinion might change later down the line
