    I'm female by the way and never wear a wedding ring. I never thought of it as unusual either!

    I think it depends on your job as well. When I worked in a lab we were strongly discouraged from wearing any jewellery at all and in some lab/pharma environments it's outright banned. Then anyone who's a plumber/mechanic etc., it's safer not to wear them. And if you don't wear them all day you probably won't bother putting them on when you come home.

    I love wearing mine but I wouldn't be upset if my wife didn't wear hers.

    I can understand not wearing them in certain circumstances such as those you have outlined. Work in a restaurant years ago, where rings was banned if you were handling food. Bizarrely they excluded wedding bands from this. I think they were totally paranoid of offending people, and were likely in breach of food hygiene rules allowing exceptions.

    Same here. I just never saw the point of them. Its a nice thing if your into that but to me it was always more about letting other people know your marital status than anything personal between the two of us. Its not like I need the ring to remind me that I'm married.

    Been married almost 3 years now and I rarely wear my ring. I found it hard to get used to and kept fidgeting with it. I would wear it if we were going out but never wear it during the day or at work.
    My mind was made up though when I lost the ring on our honeymoon. I completely forgot about it. I replaced it afterwards and now keep it safely locked up.
    Having said that, my wife wears her engagement and wedding ring all the time. I guess it's different for everyone.

    I find wearing the wedding ring makes it easier to pick up women.

    LOL! Reminds me of that episode of Scrubs where women become invisible to JD while they're wearing their wedding rings.
