Do you get mad if your husband forgets to put on his wedding ring?

We're not married yet but I'm terrible for remembering to wear my engagement rings! I've had to set a reminder on my phone for every morning 😂 so I can understand why you'd be a bit upset by it but from his side of things, it's so easy to forget, especially when you're not used to wearing one! Can he wear it on a necklace instead? That way it's on his person, more likely to remember and easier to access when he wants to wear it on his finger 😊

Mine wears his on a chain a lot due to work safety. He’s the same though, never worn jewellery in his life so wasn’t keen on the feeling of it for awhile. Takes getting used to.

Doesn’t bother me though, I have zero trust issues so a ring or no ring I’m not worried. Maybe he wants you to be a bit “annoyed” so he feels like you are his proud new wife who thinks he’s a catch. You know, like you have a bit of jealousy or think other ladies will nab him up. I dunno men are a bit weird xx

To me, it’s such a silly thing to get upset about. We’re human, we forget things sometimes and if you’re husband is really getting that worked up about forgetting to put his ring on, I don’t know get him a necklace chain to put the ring on when he’s in situations he’s worried about losing it? That sort of thing was recommended when I was working in kitchens.

I told him I'd save up for a chain for father's day if it bothers him that much

Mine doesn’t wear his at all. I’m not bothered 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t actually think it fits him anymore either, I’m sure it needs resized

I think his line of work says a lot😊😊😊just speak to him about it. I am the one that always forgets my ring. I could go a week without even remembering to wear it. I think I love the idea of wearing it as a necklace or something. Due to my partner’s job he has also had his ring misplaced so I get your partner’s fear of loosing such precious item

We never wear our rings mine is locked up in our safe. And his band is on his key ring. I don't blame him being in the medical field. When I was a nurse I lost 2 stones in a ring before because the gloves.

Can he get a silicone ring to wear at work? I see a lot of health care professionals doing that because they don’t want to lose their rings. My husband has lost some weight and he keeps losing his ring. We keep finding it, but it’s stressful. I am going to get him some silicone ones in the meantime.

Maybe get him a few silicone rings he can stash around so he can always grab one and not have to worry about his real ring at work

totally misread your post, I thought you said it did upset you!🤦🏻‍♀️😅 but yeah a chain is a good suggestion. If he's that bothered by forgetting it, maybe he needs to take accountability and put things in place to help himself remember!

My husband wears silicone so he never takes it off

I don’t get mad but sometimes ill say oh so you single now?! Lol he knows I’m joking. I’ve forgotten mine too. He never does it on purpose. He wont get super upset but says it feels weird when he doesnt have it. I offered to get my husband silicone ones because he used to be a welder and couldnt always wear it but he didn’t like them.

It took me months to remember to wear my rings. I never wore rings before so it was something new for me. My husband was a cook when we got married and actually threw his ring away a couple of times taking off gloves so I got him a silicone one for when he's at work. He does forget to put one of his rings on sometimes and I'll make little jokes like I'm mad but it never actually bothers me. I just want to make sure he actually knows where his ring is and that it didn't get misplaced.

My husband has never worn one! When we exchanged rings only I got one. He doesn’t like wearing jewellery

Neither of us wear ours typically. Only if we are going out on date night or something.

No. That would be hypocritical. I stopped wearing mine after my first child and my fingers started to swell. I’ve just got out of the habit.

I don’t get upset if he forgets, happens very rarely, and I’m very secure in our relationship. Also if someone wants to cheat on you they will, ring or no ring.

Growing up my daddy never wore one so it doesn't really make a difference to me.

Thank you all for "proving" my point that most women wouldn't get mad.

My husband and I joke if we're married/not married based on wearing our rings. 😂 He wears his much less often than I wear mine, but it's still funny to be leaving and say, "Woops, looks like we're not married today" or "I'm married today, are you?" 😂

My husband wore his ring for about the first week of our marriage, and not again since because he hates wearing jewellery. My dad never wore his either, and my nephew doesn't wear his, so it's pretty normal to not wear one.

as jay mentioned have you considered getting an alternative ring such as a silicone one so he doesn’t have to worry about losing his nicer one at work and it’s comfortable for lots of handwashing and gloves. I hear they are also great for when you’re working out etc. When I was married I would wear a cheaper small gold band while at work since I too wore gloves hand washed a lot and then wore my expensive full set on the weekends and out.

Also a nurse. We are allowed to wear a plain wedding band. Sure all the hand sanitizer will eventually wear the special coating off but I was told they could use reapply whatever it was once that happens. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’ve been wearing my ring and cleaning hands non stop since 2019. This ring has seen SO much hand sanitizer but still looks good (for a plain band). 🤷🏼‍♀️. My husband wears his, only takes it off to work out or paint or something where his ring could damage the project he’s working on.

My husband has never wore any type of jewelry besides his engagement/wedding ring now. Because he work with cars, he doesn’t wear his ring. When we’re out and about, he’ll wear his and sometimes he doesn’t. Sometimes I won’t have mine on either when I normally do. We don’t get upset at each other but we do give each other shit about it, jokingly.

Mine never takes his off but if if he had to for work then I think I would understand if he forgot to put it back on. But I think it’s nice your husband wants to make sure he has it on when he can :)

We both usually don't wear our rings 😅 my husband isn't allowed to have anything on his hands at work and I just find rings uncomfortable 🙃 I'll wear it sometimes or I wear my Enso rings. But most days I just forget 😅

Been married for over 4 years and both of us dont wear our rings daily. Only if were going out and we remember, like once a month for an outing lol.

My husband remembers to put his on more than I remember to put mine on. I’m ok with him not wearing it as he gets hit on more when he’s wearing it than when he doesn’t. Women are weird.

Is there a reason why he feels the need to take it off? My husband’s has been on since we put them on, never removed it x

if he was taking it off to go out to bars without me then I would think that be odd but if he’s honestly just forgetting and your with him why would you be mad?

I’m an RN as well and have the same fears, so don’t wear my rings to work either because of infection control and the potential to lose them when doffing. I also don’t really wear them at home, as I have a small child that needs constant attention and it’s just easier. My husband also works in a technical field where his ring gets in the way and doesn’t really wear his either. I used to get annoyed about it, but have just accepted that it’s not a big issue and he knows his married and what his boundaries are. The same goes for me. We both wear them when we go out for dinner etc. You guys also haven’t been married for long, so it also might not be a habit yet?

im not. He thinks it's weird for me not to be mad because I'm a woman.

My husband takes his off for weightlifting and when he works with machines, and sometimes he forgets it. I take mine off when I'm weightlifting too, and sometimes I forget 🤷‍♀️ forgetting to put it back on is different than intentionally taking it off to go partying or something

I know.. i just don’t know why anyone would be mad if it’s an accident. The reason anyone would be mad is if they were insecure in their relationship and worried about cheating. If you’re with him though it’s not like he’d be able to try to cheat

in all honesty, I think his thinking is that if he's feeling guilt and anger towards himself, than I should feel the same towards him

My husband lost his on our honeymoon🤪 so he only gets silicone rings now and he forgets to put it on all the time and I don't care. maybe you husband can wear a silicone one at work if he's afraid of losing it?

My husband and I really only wear our rings if we’re going out without the other

Neither of us wear ours unless going to a big family event. I barely leave the house & he’s very trustworthy.

I don't wear rings because of work too. It's actually just way easier to look plain all the time lol

I honestly don’t think my husband has ever forgotten but admittedly if he did, I would not notice.

RN here! I don’t wear my ring at work but I do wear a silicone ring. I’ve also thrown away idk how many taking my gloves off throughout the day. I just buy a bulk package on Amazon and keep them next to my watch charger in the bathroom. I grab my watch, grab a ring, and put the door. My husband wears a silicone ring at work too. He’s already lost his wedding ring and we’ve had to buy a replacement. Now we joke when we go out that we are either real or fake married depending on the type of ring we are currently wearing.

I work in healthcare too and I started to wear the silicone ones because I got freaked out about all the gunk getting into my ring. I don’t have an issue with it either if he forgets, it’s usually a joke between us that he’s “not married” that day.
