Yes, basically yes.

Sometimes I'll take it off if I'm doing something that could damage it or if there is risk of it catching on machinery leading to amputation

Married 20 years, I don't wear mine anymore.

[-] slothrop@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I asked to not have one. As others have said, I was a 'no jewelry' kinda guy, plus throughout various jobs in my working life, for safety reasons many wouldn't allow rings.
About 7 years ago I asked for one (after 35 yrs of marriage) and have worn it pretty much 24/7 since.
Plus, I can open a beer with it!

[-] twinnie@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

Yep but I can take it off when I need to. It hurts sometimes when I have to lift something with round handles that squash my fingers together.

I always wear my father’s wedding ring, although I don’t plan on getting married myself. I don’t wear any other jewelry.

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 month ago

I did, a plain gold band. It fell off in the surf at a beach, gone forever.

Replaced it with a silver band, but my fingers are slightly fatter now and it doesn't fit.

Never worried about it. It's just a "thing".

[-] saimen@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

Yes and yes. Sometimes I take it off for swimming in a public pool because of being afraid of losing it.

[-] shane@feddit.nl 2 points 1 month ago

My wife made our wedding rings (she's an amateur silversmith). I keep mine on a bandolier on my backpack so I always have it with me, but I rarely wear it. My wife lost hers, somewhere in our home.

[-] JakenVeina@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago

Yep.

Pretty much, yep.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yes I have one, no I don't wear it all the time, nor does my wife wear hers all the time. I go for stretches sometimes where I wear it a lot, but it is slightly oversized, which makes it slightly uncomfortable after a while, and I'm scared it will slip off (i lost my first band, this is my replacement). It's almost always in my pocket though. My wife mostly only wears hers for special occasions. Neither of us are jewelery people in general.

Yeah I got a platinum ring that felt pricey but it was easily stretched half a size at a jeweler for free and it should be easy to cut if I ever get in a stuck situation. It did irritate my skin at first when water got trapped in there but I take it off for showers/washing dishes now.

On a serious note, I do like it and I love that it gets worn and has scratches. I could polish it up but looking forward to being old and seeing physical wear marks of having a long marriage.

[-] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yes, I wear it except when handling raw meat or in the shower.

Its not an expensive ring. I think it was like $20. It is the second ring because the first one wore out and broke.

[-] scintilla@crust.piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

I can't stand metal ones but I wear my silicone one close to 24/7 just taking it off it give it a thouruogh clean in the shower.

[-] zout@fedia.io 1 points 1 month ago

Yes, and I always wear it. I have had jobs in the past where I would take it off during the day because it wasn't advisable and not allowed to wear it. Last time I took it off was a few years ago when I had to go into surgery.

[-] TheOneCurly@feddit.online 1 points 1 month ago

We each got 2 actually. Nice ones for normal occasions and silicone ones for adventures. I don't wear mine to bed, the skin underneath gets all wrinkly and irritated. I put it on as part of getting dressed. So lazy weekends I hardly wear it at all but most days I do.

[-] TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

Yes, and I pretty much always wear it.

Unless I’m washing the dishes and giving a massage to my spouse are the only exceptions I can think off the top of my head.

[-] Vex_Detrause@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

I do have a wedding ring with some inscription inside. Now my sausage hands grew so my wife bought me a cheap Amazon ring to fit. It's for her peace of mind.

[-] ChexMax@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yes! I have my real ring that I took off when I got pregnant and my fingers got fat, once the baby was 6mo I put it back on. My husband had to take his off for work a lot since the metal is a conductor, so i got him a silicone one. I liked his so much i got myself one and wear that full time. It's better for playing with the child.

[-] Deyis@beehaw.org 1 points 1 month ago

We have rings but we don't wear them all the time; I can't stand wearing it whilst in the shower or going to the gym.

Single af myself, but my parents are still married and always have their wedding rings on. I'm not even sure I've ever seen them without them. Not even sure if they could even remove them anymore.

[-] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 1 points 1 month ago

We both do, yeah.

[-] Fierro@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

I have it, I wear it all the time, I don't like it, but I also don't dislike it enough to care

[-] buttmasterflex@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

Yes and yes. We got custom made, one of a kind rings made by a local family-run jeweler. The rings have a wood grain pattern in them, with my wife's ring shaped like a branch holding a green sapphire. Pretty freaking cool. I only ever take it off if I'm on a job site that bans jewelry for safety reasons.

[-] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yes and yes. Never take it off unless I'm doing something real gross. Flat band and the edges are kind of rounded so it doesn't catch much. It's sized so it doesn't fall off in gloves or when I wash my hands. I did have to start wearing work gloves after catching it on something and I thought it broke my finger but we really all should be wearing work gloves more often.

[-] Yeller_king@reddthat.com 1 points 1 month ago

Yes. I take it off when exercising or doing yard work. I had a silicone one to swap to, but I lost it.

I'm also on my third ring in six years because I'm a silly goose.

[-] Cardinalis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Yes and yes.

It was important to me when we got the bands that they not be particularly ornate. So they’re plain bands and don’t interfere with the vast majority of activities.
