Is a ring necessary?

My uncle's totally came off at the knuckle. It went flying into a ditch, and they never found it.
I heard another horror story when a guy was working on an engine and got his ring caught on something inside. People had to dismantle whatever it was he was working on to get him loose.

 

I generally wear mine when I'm going out but take it off when I'm home. I've never been comfortable wearing a ring.

My parents have been married about 55 years and my dad hasn't worn his for about 50. It got caught on a lathe, I think. He was OK but never wore it again.

By the way, to address the original question: whatever your fiancee thinks is the correct answer.

 

I have been married 23 years next month and though i am not a jewelry guy I have always worn mine.

 

I always take mine off in the house, which I'm not sure all women do. But I never go anywhere without it. Hubby wears his all the time.

This is a question that cannot be answered in a vacuum. If you both decide you're wearing rings, then, yes, it's necessary.

 

My wife takes hers off in the house all the time and can go for days without wearing it, whether we're at home or if we go out. And it doesn't bother me. She just forgets to put it on before we leave. No big deal.

I almost never take mine off. I do when I'm working in the yard, working out or running.

 

Dad never had a wedding ring. Mom was fine with that.

Horrible ex-editor got his 'n hers wood wedding rings. Because he's a cheap bastard and was paying for recent divorce from alky ex and support for two sons who hate him.

New wife is Canadian, so she got citizenship. Talk about bad timing.

 

It definitely figures into Hall of Fame debates. If the player never wins a championship, do they deserve to be in the Ha ... oh. Not that kind of ring.

I lost a bit of weight, my ring slipped off in the surf off North Carolina and I couldn’t find it about eight years ago. I haven’t replaced it.

But my wife hasn’t really pushed me to get another because she has confidence in our marriage.

Besides, she says that, even though my stats would probably hold up pretty well in the dating game, I wouldn’t do so well with the eye test.

 

Since I stopped playing basketball/lifting weights after I wrecked my back, I never take my ring off.

My favorite ring related story is that when I took out the cash to buy an engagement ring for not yet Mrs. W, the branch manager came out to give me the envelope and said “either you are paying off a bookie or buying an engagement ring. Either way, my condolences”

 

I've never lost a ring in the surf, but if I ever do, it'll probably be: "Well, that sucks."
This summer when I lost a fishing rod and reel in the surf, it was complete panic for the short amount of time until I found it, and it would have been replaced within the hour if I hadn't.
Priorities, man; priorities!
