Married people (or previously married), do you (did you) ever take off your wedding band and/or engagement band? ~

For those of you divorced or widowed, I'm only referring to the time period while you were married.  Thank you.

    I took it off while I was separated... I would suspect that falls under your divorced, etc. category however.

    I was allergic to my first wedding band. I think I wore it for a week or more before my supervisor at work saw what it was doing to my finger and insisted I take it off. I don't recall how long I went without one after that. Maybe a week or two. 

    I was also required to take it off for my c-sections. 

    Toward the end of my marriage, I took it off and tossed it in cleaning solution and left it there. I don't think I wore it the last year or so we were together.

    Only to go in the hospital for childbirth.  I lost it once and that was one of the worse days of my life.  I had been grocery shopping and was back home and everything put away when I realized it was gone.  I looked everywhere and retraced all of my steps to no avail.  That night when I went to the kitchen to make dinner I got the lettuce keeper out and when I took the top off there was my ring.  It obviously slipped off when I washed the head and put it into the keeper.  Hubs never knew until I had already found it.

    I work in a physical and dirty job. I would deform it and get paint etc stuck on it. I wear it on weekends. My husband and myself work together, he also only wears his on weekends. 

    We are also not our second set because of work. We learned.

  • Never took it off, because I never put one on in the first place.

      Then you're neither a married person nor a previously married person . . .

    I do not wear any rings on my fingers---never did all my life.  My wedding ring is in our safe deposit box.  I do not like wearing rings on my fingers (not sure why); but for sure, the joint on my little finger gets irritated by the position a ring takes on my ring finger.

    We have never worn them since our ceremony.  Actually that is not true - I think my husband occasionally wears his.  He says very occasionally.
