Who is married and doesn't wear a band?

Me. I don't see the need.

I don't. I even have two and still don't wear them (got a new one at 10 years). DH does sometimes but he takes it off to go to the beach (his last one was lost in the surf) and forgets to put it back on for some length of time.

I have barely taken mine off in 24 years - not because I *need* it to feel married or *need* it for any reason actually but because it has emotional value to me and because I just always have so don't even think about it now.

This ^^^^ and my youngest is 23. The ring doesn't fit because I've never lost my "baby weight" plus some. Two years ago we bought a me a new band and I only wear it sporadically. It's too heavy and it bugs me!

I don't but I don't wear any jewellery at all. I get a sort of itchy red rash from any sort of metal even a very fine gold chain will leave a mark.

I know my status and don't give a hoot if anybody else does or not.

I'm wearing mine now, but it has been on and off over the years.

With swelling and weight gain after 2nd child, I was afraid of having to get them cut off (know someone this happened to) so started wearing them on a chain around my neck. DH hated this and persuaded me to get them resized.

A couple of years after getting them resized, I lost the weight and had to go back to the chain as they kept slipping off my finger. I had a couple of big panic moments when I realized they had slipped off and had to retrace my steps, one time even going through the garbage I had taken out. They weren't in the garbage, but we did find them in the grass behind where we store the cans. After that episode they went back on the gold chain again. Once I got to my goal weight, I had them resized and they are back on finger.

DH only wears his when we are going out because he usually ends up on at least one construction site during the day.

I used to wear mine all of the time except sometimes in the summer, if my fingers were swollen, it felt like it was cutting my finger off. So I would take it off for a few days here and there. Then a few years ago I started working for the school district with special needs kids, So I washed my hands A LOT! there must be something in the schools soap that does not agree with my body, because every few days I would have to take my ring off for a few days, my skin under my ring would get itchy and red. Last year I was only subbing, so I was able to wear my ring more often with out the itchy issue, But this summer I took it off when my fingers were swollen one night and I have not put it back on. You can still see where it was (tan line and slight indention because I have fatter fingers) but I noticed that is starting to fade. While I dont feel like I NEED to wear it, I like too. Maybe some day I will loose some weight and then the swollen thing wont be as big of an issue.

I'm also in the club of folks who had gained so much weight and/or had so much swelling in the fingers that the wedding band had to be cut off. In my case, it was an emergency situation, as my circulation was being cut off, and it was painful.

During the time when I was ringless, NOBODY ever asked me about it! And personally, I didn't care about outward appearances. I went without a ring for several years, but eventually, DH bought me another ring for an anniversary. The first ring was a simple band that had cost $20 (in 1970), and the second one was similarly plain and inexpensive. I do treasure it, not for its inherent value but for the sentiment behind it.

I used to wear my engagement ring with the wedding ring, but I took it off when I had no wedding ring, as I didn't want to give a false impression. After I got the new wedding band, I wore the engagement ring again. However, the diamond fell out of the setting a few years ago and was lost. I see no need to replace it.

I have a metal allergy, no jewelry for me except some jade bracelets and the occasional necklace over a turtleneck, so no rings.

I do, but my husband never has (it's been 15 years). He is a sheet-metal worker and often welds, so it is a safety hazard. He has a band from the wedding but that day was the only time he's worn it. Needless to say, we did not spend a lot of money on it knowing it wouldn't be worn.

I wear mine because I really like it and it feels weird when I don't have it on.

I don't. My rings are soldered together and I don't like to wear my solitaire on a regular basis (i.e. doing housework, cooking, showering, sleeping, etc.). I started removing them more when I was pregnant (swollen fingers) and after having the baby (didn't want to scratch the baby by accident).

I don't need the rings to feel married either.

I rarely wear mine, DH almost always wears his.

I took my ring off when I was pregnant with our third DD. I gained a little weight with her and never lost it, so for the past 12 years I've had a naked finger.

DH never wore a ring. We had a single ring ceremony.  He doesn't like to wear jewelry, and at the time it would have hurt me if he had a ring and chose to not wear it.

But if I should die before him, and he remarries with a two ring ceremony, I'm going to curse his ring from my grave. Not him, not his bride, not his marriage; just his ring. I'm going to have him lose it down the drain or in the ocean. Or maybe my ghost will just bite his ring finger every night while he's sleeping. 

Another one who has rarely taken my ring off because it has emotional value to me and I've always worn it so don't think about it now.
