H's Wedding Band

Hey ladies!

Quick question- I know back in the day a few of you mentioned your H's got a second wedding band to wear at work. How has that worked out for them? Do they ever regularly wear their real band, or do they mostly wear the second ring?

My H has gotten really paranoid about getting mugged for his ring. It's doubly sentimental for him, because it belonged to his deceased father and I think if he lost the ring it would crush him. But he's also concerned about never wearing it if he gets the back up.

Insight?

Re: H's Wedding Band

  • My H has 2 rings. He wears his "work ring" during the week but always wears the 1st ring on the weekends and if we go anywhere special during the week. It has worked out really well for him and he doesn't have to worry about scratching his ring at work (and if something were to happen to it, it wouldn't be the end of the world since he'd have the original ring)

  • H has two only because he lost his original and then it miraculously turned up, hidden in a closet, months later. He was pretty sure someone found it right away and then hid it from him to be a jerk. He wears the replacement ring to work, takes it off and keeps it in his toolbox during the day and he wears the original ring when we go out together,

  • H really doesn't need a 2nd one he works at Disney and his job isn't where anyone will pay attention to it or anything.

Idk of I should wear it when at work.people do see my ring and always getting compliments....

  • H has a titanium ring that we were assured is pretty much indestructible. H wears it all the time. I have a qvc tacori diamonque ring set that I wear when we travel as my diamond is a 4 generation family heirloom.

  • Hubby can't wear rings at work as it's a danger (and insurance won't cover him if he is injured on a jobsite while wearing a ring...even if its unrelated)....so he just has the one. I wear my rings everywhere....I work in a homeless shelter and felt iffy about wearing my diamond there, but honestly...it keeps the creeps from hitting on me when they realize they could never afford me....

Then Once here in FL from a couple of discusting hicks out of a group of 4/5(only because they called themselves hicks and one ask for a garbage then spit (from chewing )yuck) hit on me after about 5 min that they saw my wedding ring and then where like oh your married.....I said yes I am. I was not flattered I was grossed out.

    My H can't wear his on his finger at work either. He wears his around his neck. I don't work in a homeless shelter but I do work in a very sketchy area of the city. I don't really think about it.

    We got my husbands from this site and it still looks perfect and he wears it to work everyday and has to work with his hands. We got it in the fall and they had a sale or special going on so I got a great price for it. Looks like they have a code you can use for $30 off and free shipping.

     This is the one my husband has.
