Please take the poll. Don't be scared now. 
Do you wear your wedding ring?

Just to clarify from the other thread, I'm not disputing that some married people don't wear their wedding rings. I was just unaware that it was specifically common in the UK.

I occasionally work as a rapper.
I wear my wedding ring all the time, though right now, I'm wearing my "fat" ring. Yeah, I gained enough weight that my rings don't fit, and they are thin bands, so sizing them up really isn't an option. So we bought an inexpensive gold band in a larger size, and I wear that. For now. I'm working on losing enough weight to wear my actual wedding rings by my birthday.
DH goes in cycles with his ring. Right now, he's not wearing it. It's in my jewelry box.

Same here.
Supplanted your wife for mine obviously. Unless there's something your wife's not telling us.
Mine is a simple gold band and the only time I've had it off in ten years is when they made me take it off when I was in the hospital for a minor operation. Getting it off was quite a struggle.
My wife wears a similar wedding band but rarely wears her diamond engagement ring, which we both agree I should never have bought.

I find these results shocking, I know many people who are married but don't wear their ring.
I guess Trekkies are just old fashioned.

Either that, or we're so stunned someone actually agreed to marry us, we want the world to know. Particularly, that she's not imaginary.
If I get married someday I would like to wear the ring, but rings look really bad on my hands. I thought about getting a graduation ring for my MSc, but I dropped it for the same reason. Maybe something not gold. I'm playing with the idea of a stainless steel ring.

That sounds more realistic.
I lost my ring about 5 years ago. My wife wants me to replace it, but I haven't gotten around to it.
interesting results so far (although about what I expected to see). I AM curious to see if there is any sort of regional thing to it, though. Expect that it's pretty customary in most Western cultures, but we'll see.
I'm engaged, but not yet married. Not a ring or jewelry guy myself, but imagine that I'll wear it, at least most of the time. Probably in the crowd that will take it off for sleeping and bathing, though. And i'll likely be getting a platinum one to match the fiance's engagement ring (and her wedding ring, which I had to buy as a set because of the unique look/shape of the engagement ring), so I'll probably remove it a lot when I'm doing projects around the house and garage to avoid damaging it or getting shit all over it...
I've also teased her that instead of buying an expensive one, i may buy a dozen cheap titanium ones instead, so I can swap them out when i damage or lose one

I've worn mine for almost 17 years - since the day my wife and I got married. It has never been off, and never will be unless I'm unable to stop the person who is removing it.
