Wedding Rings
July 30th, 2008 by Laura
I’m thinking I may get a few comments from this particular blog. Why do some married men choose to not wear a wedding ring? I’m very perplexed by this. Recently I asked a good friend of mine where his wedding ring was, and why it wasn’t on his left ring finger. His response…the typical one that I usually get…”I keep losing them.” How do guys lose their wedding rings? Do they not get them sized correctly so that they stay on their finger? Do they forget where they laid it when they change the back left tire? Or do they lose it when they fix the garbage disposal or fish those lincoln logs out of the toilet? Hmmm….does it bother their wives that there isn’t a ring on their finger showing their commitment? I’m just wondering…I truly have no answer to this and was hoping to hear from some ladies and/or men about their feelings and experience with this so called “lost wedding ring phenomenon”. Let me finalize my curios wanderings with this finale, I have never met a woman who has “lost” her wedding ring. I usually see the same wedding ring on a woman’s hand that she had put on the day she said “yes”. My daddy has even lost a couple of rings…the first one was when he accidentally cut his finger off with a chainsaw…I think that is a justifiable excuse.
Love you daddy!
I agree, I don’t get it. My husband has lost two wedding rings. I still have my original. I am pretty good at being able to tell when he is lying and I have to say that he is unbelievably telling the truth! He is genuinely upset that he lost them. I was wondering if they have invented some sort of wedding ring lojack? You would think that in this day and age they could install a chip to locate it.
Looking back over my time married to my ex-husband reflects that he always “lost” his ring the exact time he was cheating on me.
When I got a divorce, it took many months for the indent on my finger to go away because my ring never left my hand.
I have known men who never wore rings before their marriage and chose to show a different commitment. Either a tatoo of a ring on their left finger or kept their ring on a key chain so it was always with them.
