Do you wear your wedding ring?

[Janie Grace]

I take mine off at night -- my fingers swell at night and it feels uncomfortable by morning. I put it back on when I get dressed after my shower.

 

Sometimes I might forget but I always remember before leaving the house. I check if I'm wearing it the same way I make sure I have shoes on. I would just feel weird being out without it.

 

I do take it off to put on lotion b/c it's soldered to my engagement ring and lotion gets stuck in the diamond settings. I also take it off to knead bread or do messy stuff. Have a little dish on my dresser and on the kitchen window sill to set it in when it's off.

 

Dh NEVER takes his off. Ever. Good thing, b/c he'd lose it ten minutes after removing it. ;)

I said occasionally for optional reasons, but I actually think it may have been mandatory to remove your ring in the Air Force when flying and performing certain duties around aircraft, I removed mine when I was in the Air Force and worked around aircraft. I do not remember if it was mandatory or just suggested.

 

My husband is a pilot, and removes his every time he flies.

 

I think he was shown too many gory pictures of people with their fingers ripped off from wearing their rings while working on engines or around aircraft, he will not allow anyone to help him work on our cars if they are wearing a ring. He is quite adamant about this.
