My husband doesn't like to wear his wedding ring. He actually doesn't wear any jewlery. Never did. Does anyone else have a husband who doesn't wear one or am I the only one?

Dear No Band for Hubby,

A wedding ring for a husband isn't mandatory. In addition, many cannot wear them for safety reasons.

Best wishes,

First - just so you are aware - this forum is not a typical chat forum. It is a place to come to ask wedding experts advice regarding planning a wedding. So - no other women are going to respond other than our experts.

My first husband was a firefighter and he was not able to wear his wedding band on the job so he only wore it for special ocassions. A bit like we ladies do when wearing a special piece of jewelry for a night on the town. It never really bothered me. I was pretty secure in our relationship.

I am now engaged and I wouldn't mind if my new husband didn't want to wear a wedding band. If I knew he didn't like to wear rings I would purchase a less valuable band for the ceremony and he could keep it in his box for a special remembrance.

My hubby used to get a rash only around his wedding ring finger. Turns out he was allergic to the metal in the ring since he never wore jewelry. I don't mind it all. He still loves me.[]

Cheers!
