Nice to know I'm not the only one who does that.
I also take it off when my hands swell.
Single guy here, but if I ever get married (and that's a pretty big if), I don't see myself wearing a wedding ring, unless my wife makes a big deal out of it. But I don't think I'd marry someone like that anyway. I've never been one for accessories (with the exception of a watch).
For most of their marriage, my parents never wore wedding rings. Then, for whatever reason, they got new wedding bands for their 25th anniversary a few years ago, and now they were them almost all the time, I think (except when they're sleeping, showering, etc.). I'm not sure what prompted this change, but maybe some day I'll ask them.

Married and I wear the ring, most of the week. I tend not to wear it on weekends during the day as I'm helping out with the housework/dishes etc or when cooking.
Given the fact I designed it (along with my wife's) it's only fitting that I wear it.

Before my wife and I split up, I never removed my wedding band. It stayed on my finger 24/7 for ten years, and was the only jewelry I wore. After we broke up I kept it in a little box that I keep lapel pins in, but my ex stole it before I moved out. I would never have thrown it out or pawned it, or anything like that.
I always wear my wedding ring (unless I'm mixing meatloaf or something) - I only wear my engagement and anniversary rings (emeralds) during the day, though. Emeralds are more fragile than diamonds.
My husband is a mechanic, and both he and I would just as soon he not lose a finger or something because his wedding ring gets caught in something, so he always takes it off when he's a work and locks it in a special little drawer in his toolbox.
Honestly, I just love the symbolism of those rings. I know rings don't = marriage, but still, there's something about them.

5.5 years ago, on our honeymoon. It's probably been off my hand for a total of 45 minutes since that photo was taken.
Seriously, who has time to go get cooking oil every day just to take their ring off? Because that's what it takes for me. Not worth the trouble!
I wear mine during waking hours for most activities. It comes off at night or when I am working with mechanical equipment. I leave it on at the bar. I figure honesty is the best policy after all. This way everyone knows ahead of time and no excuses can be made.
I lost my wedding band within an hour of the ceremony. Just flipped off my finger and into the grass. I hate rings anyway so I never replaced it.
My wife wore hers for about a decade--it's a family heirloom, actually. But I much prefer the feel of her hand in mind without an uncomfortable piece of jewelery in the way. So now she doesn't.

They stole that from me.
I know a lot of guys who don't wear their ring, mostly due to work or sports.
My ring s still kicking around and gets taken out for special occasions. Although she and I have been separated for almost a year now it seems to be used as a show piece, of sorts.

Yes I wear it when we go out together or when I go to a restaurant or bar with friends. Otherwise I don't because I don;t like jewelry and I play sports.
I've been married 14 years, and just last month my original (and cheap) wedding ring broke. It was one of those rings that was thin and tapered on the bottom so it would 'fit' better. Well the damn thing just snapped one day and created a sharp, jagged edge which kept pinching my finger, so we went to a jewelery store and picked up a neat titanium wedding ring.
The only time I didn't wear my original wedding ring was when my wife was pregnant with our first child and her fingers swelled up to the point where she could wear her wedding ring, so she wore mine.

I was thinking about this in a meeting at work a couple of weeks ago. There were 5 other guys in the meeting, all of whom are married, but only one had a ring on. And 3 of the 4 non-ring-wearers were in their 50s and up.
I wear mine all of the time. Actually, I'm back to the original $30 ring we got when we were first married because my nicer engraved band, which my wife got me a couple of years into our marriage, was lost in the surf at the beach two summers ago. I knew it was loose from my weight loss. I didn't realize it was that loose.

I've been married for 2 years and do not wear my ring. I'm not a jewelry guy to start with. I have thin fingers and fat knuckles, so my ring had to be big enough to get around them, but hangs loosely off my finer. It's kinda awkward and uncomfortable.
I'll occasionally bust out the ring for a special occasion or if I'm dressing up for something.

Yea, I've jammed most of my fingers, too. I think the only joint that still the same size as the rest of the digit is my thumb on my left hand.
Must have been a very thrilling meeting for you to end up doing a quick ring-count round the room.
I can empathise.

Ya, when I go out, I only scan the ladies' hands for wedding rings, not the guys.
