wives, how would you react if....

IMO people in a relationship should have their own rules for their relationship and not just make assumptions.

If my OH wanted to go to a stag do in Benidorm I'd faint but posting hypothetically (a) his ring is insured as is his (blokey version) engagement ring (b) what's wrong with putting it/them on a chain around the neck ?

My OH has own sitting room with sofa, desk, laptop etc and so do I. If he wants to sit in his watching !!!!!! or getting horny over !!!!!! mags that's up to him. I didn't get the memo that sez I have to install a keylogger on his laptop because we're married.

Time to get annoyed would be if he came home from stag do with an STD as then he'd find himself living with his mother.

I don't wear my wedding ring; I injured my finger before I even met my wife and it is uncomfortable.

But I know that I am married and that I have made my choice in life, and that is all that matters.

Surely if the ring was nor being taken for dodgy reasons the husband could just have easily taken it off anyway.

I just spotted this picture on facebook and it immediately made me think of this thread :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Your married in your head, not on your finger..


I don't wear a ring, i take it off and lose it.

I think the OP is just using typical man logic rather than intending to cheat. My hubby doesn't like wearing his ring on holiday as he moans that's it's too hot and his finger swells up. He also takes his ring off at night, to swim etc. he almost lost it in Indonesia last year which I obviously wasn't too impressed with and we spent ages trying to find it.

It seems that the man logic has taken over and is trying to pre-empt losing it and avoiding an even worse situation of having to explain that to his wife!

If someone is going to cheat then I doubt a ring is going to make a difference. And if he was planning on cheating why even tell the wife he wasn't going to wear it!

The op has said that he will be "messing about in the water". My wedding ring never fell off either, but I lost it messing about on a "Fun Day" down the beach about 30 years ago, so I think leaving it at home is sensible. I never bothered getting another one. Twelve years late he was my ex But TBH I don't think it really matters, as others have said, if someone is going to cheat, a ring will make no difference at all.

What the women aren't saying is that they have a tracking chip complete with camera in the wedding ring.

Obviously I'm not saying they don't trust their husbands :rotfl:

I reckon there's a market for that!

Personally I wouldn't wear my wedding ring for anything like that, and I would suggest to (not tell!) my husband that he didn't either.

My wedding ring is quite special to me as it's the one we made our vows with. I do wear it most days, but if I am doing anything where it could get lost or damaged (swimming, alton towers, holidays, cleaning the house) I take it off. I do have a cheap ring from argos that I wear if I go out drinking or whatever.

Reading this it seems like I'm in the minority as a woman! Most of you seem to want blokes to keep their rings on, I would rather he wore it when appropriate so it doesn't get lost or damaged!

I don't think it is even a good idea to bring this up to your wife or you'll be raising so many flags on this one. Good luck!

My husband's wedding ring is sat in his bedside drawer after I recently found it whilst searching for passports, it's been "lost" (ie put in a safe place ) for years. He's not worn it since he moved away from a desk job as it's not safe to wear at work and it just doesn't occur to him to put it on when he gets home. So what? He knows he's married, I know we're married and the rings are just a socially acceptable way of showing that but not necessary in my opinion. I trust him 100% and whether he wears a ring, or not, has no effect on that.

For those who say they'd take it off if they were going out drinking, the fact that the intention is there to get so drunk that you can't remember what you've done would be more of a concern to me than any ring! I just can't grasp why anyone would want to pay out to have temporary amnesia, make themselves ill and kill brain cells :eek:. Thankfully DH feels the same about excessive drinking as me so it's not something I ever have to worry about happening. I don't have any problems with social drinking it's just drinking to the point that you've no idea whether you've had a good night or not :undecided
