admin# Personal Beliefs
For some, an aversion to wearing a ring is borne more out of personal values than practical concerns. For them, wedding rings are an instrument of control. They see it as a statement that you “belong” to another person. For this group, they don’t buy into the idea that a metal circle with no beginning and no end really means much.
# Privacy
For almost a year following their secret engagement, celebrity power couple Jay Z and Beyonce did not wear their rings. For some couples, they don’t see the benefits of broadcasting their marital status to the world. “It’s a union of two people, why make it anyone else’s business?”
# Finger Irritation
It is true that there is something quite foreign about wearing jewellery of any kind, and a ring is no exception. It is not unusual to see a newly-wed fiddling with their ring, trying to get used to a piece of metal that will stay on them for the rest of their natural life. Some give up in these early stages.
# Weight Gain
Ever heard of the “shrinking ring”? It is a common excuse for people who gain weight after their wedding, but would rather blame their rings. Many who get chubbier after their weddings discover the rings don’t fit anymore. For some, a replacement doesn’t quite have the same sentimental value and they would rather live without.
# Blame the Job
If your job entails performing manual labour like grave digging, road construction, tree cutting or even being a mechanic, wearing a wedding ring doesn’t look such a clever idea with the risk of damage to the ring and more importantly, yourself. Equally, a surgeon or someone giving massages may not see the point of a ring which would probably spend more time on a table somewhere than their finger.
# I Forgot
For some, sleeping or taking a bath with the ring on causes a degree of discomfort. But after removing it, it’s not uncommon to forget putting it back on the finger. Many partners understand this, but if it becomes a habit, it feeds into suspicions of cheating.
# Revenge Omission
If he won’t wear his ring, why should I? It is a poisonous attitude, but this quid pro quo approach works for some.
# Allergic to Metal
Some people just don’t do jewellery, and for a good reason: they are allergic to metal. Wearing anything with nickel – used to harden the naturally soft and malleable gold – gives them something called ring dermatitis, a skin rash that occurs under the band of a ring. These individuals may be able to tolerate a titanium, wood or stone band or prefer a different token of their commitment, such as pendants or earrings. Wedding tattoos are another option.
# Protecting Feelings of Cheating Partner
If some people who don’t wear rings were to be really honest, they would just admit that it is easier to get laid if you don’t have one on your wedding finger. For those who still want to see other people on the side, wearing a wedding ring can be problematic for a number of reasons. If you are a married man, you really don’t want to upset your mistress by waving that ring in her face. Keep in mind that there is a special brand of individual that is put off on the idea of doing a married person. What do the cheaters do? They will leave home with their ring on, and then take it off when they are about to hit the bar or hook up with their bits on the side.
# I Lost It
Just like all possessions, wedding rings do get lost. After that, the married couple must decide whether to replace. Some feel a replacement ring doesn’t have the same magic as the original, and live out the rest of their marriage without.
