After almost 2 months of married bliss, Mr. Toucan is still not used to wearing his wedding ring! I pretend to get mad, and jokingly say he’s “trying to look like a single guy” again! His reaction is so cute, though. He gets pretty upset with himself for forgetting! So, the past week, after he forgot to wear his ring 3 of the 4 days, I made him a sign and hung it up at the door.
So far, he hasn’t forgotten to wear it since!
How good is your spouse (or you!) at remembering to wear the wedding ring?
Hehehehe… that’s so cute haha.
Why does he take it off in the first place? It’s not like he can’t wear it in the shower. Does he do a lot of woodworking as a hobby? : )
That is hilarious!
Mr. Jasmine is surprisingly good at wearing his wedding ring. I expected him not to be because he is definitely not the jewelry type, but he hasn’t forgotten to wear it once since we’ve gotten married. He even has to remind me to put mine on sometimes!
Though we’re not married yet, the boy and I both have the tendency to put any jewelry we wear on a daily basis on our desk right next to our phones and wallets. It’s habitual to just pick it up when we pick up our necessities. I’m considering getting a ring holder once we do get married to put in that space.
I had a little dish in the bathroom for putting our rings in when we showered, but Mr Popcorn kept forgetting his ring there until he put it next to his glasses. Since then, I’ve probably been the one to forget more often (the worst is when I forget it in the pocket of my workshop messy-pants in my locker overnight 
!) but we’re both pretty good.
He took it off twice within a few hours one saturday. I found it on the computer desk and then later on top of the washing machine. I told him if he didn’t want to wear it, I will.
He is super forgettful so I worry that he will take it off somewhere random and forget to put it back on. Yikes.
I love the sign. I’m making one tonight!
So far (only married a little over a week) the DH has been really good about it, only taking it off once or twice while playing sports. We’ve also gotten into the habit that I am the one to put it back on him each time. Not sure how long its going to last that way but its pretty cute when he comes walking up to me with the ring in hand and then places the left hand out in anticipation.
My husband forgot to wear his ring his first day of residency. First, he forgot his pager and calls me at 4:30am in a panic and makes me run to the hospital in my pajamas to bring him the damn pager. Then, the nurses are hitting on him all day and he can’t figure out why. He finally realizes it when another doctor he works with, who is married but does not wear his wedding ring in the hospital for personal preferences is trying to justify his reasoning for not wearing a ring at work finally just says “Why are you giving me a hard time, [my husband] is married too and he’s not wearing a ring either!” when my husband looks down and indeed realizes that his finger is naked. He was very quick to respond that it was an accident, and if it happened again, he would not have a wedding ring to wear at all. :oP
I take my e-ring off a lot when I am at home (sleeping, washing dishes, shower, and before I go to the gym), but I never take it off when I am out in public. Sometimes I forget to put it on over the weekends because we are in the house more.
Love this idea! I know Mr. H will “forget”…meaning he doesn’t usually wear nice jewelry and he’ll be paranoid he’ll lose it or scratch it (inevitable). I’ll def be borrowing your idea!
Mr. Lemon tried. And it really didn’t work. He’d fiddle too much and cause “ring burns” on his finger.
It sits in the drawer now, and it’s not too big of a surprise. But it comes out for special occasions/dress up parties. 
Hubby is actually better about it than I am! He only takes it off if he is going to be golfing or if he is going to be lifting weights. Otherwise, he sleeps, eats, cooks, etc with it on.
I, on the other hand, take my ring off if I’m preparing dinner. I don’t want it to get yucky! Oh, and I don’t sleep or shower in it either!
becky
The hubs does not wear his ring, which is totally cool with me. My dad does not wear one either. Don’t really think a ring is going to stop someone if they really want to do something they are not supposed to be doing
Aw. That’s cute.
Good idea - I’ll try to remember that one for later.
He never, ever takes it off - unless I force him to. We had to pull the pump out of the fishpond last weekend, and it didn’t even occur to him to take it off. I had visions of us sifting through fishmuck for the rest of the weekend looking for it.
My DH has done surprisingly well with remembering. He had never worn any rings before we got married, so I was certain he would forget on a regular basis. However, we have been married a little over a year now and I can only think of 2 or 3 times that he has forgotten. He takes it off for showering and swimming, but other than that, it’s always right there. I have forgotten myself a few times and realized on my way to work. I drove back and got it each time because my finger felt too naked without it.
lemon, Mr Corn did the same thing. He played with his so much that he got a burn on his finger!! That finally healed, but he still apparently takes it off and twirls it on the desk at work sometimes.
I forget mine too sometimes….I take it off when showering or putting on lotion (don’t want to get gook in it so I can take it to be cleaned less frequently). It is weird how naked my hand feels without it now.
