Not me I feel like I will keep it in better shape for longer if I take it off when I sleep. Also, my fingers tend to swell throughout the night.... Do you wear yours to sleep?

I never take mine off, I only plan to take it off to get it cleaned and to move it to my right hand for the day of the wedding

I dont sleep with mine either.. I am afraid I might ruin it. I also take it off to shower and clean and do dishes... I know allot of ppl that never take theres off.

I take mine off pretty much whenever I am at home and when I go to the gym. If I slept in mine I would sooo end up scratching myself with it ( I have done it before ouch!!!)

I sleep with mine on.  And go to the gym with it on.  I take it off to do dishes though.

I sleep with mine on.  If you don't want to lose it...keep it on at all times.  My FI does not want me to take it off.  He said, when it gets dirty...just go have it cleaned! LOL! 

Once you lose it...you may never get that same one back!!

I sleep with mine too but take it off to shower, wash my hands and do dishes/clean Love my ring!!

AMISSA31

I shower, clean and wash dishes with mine on.  My jeweler suggested using Palmalive dish liquid (the blue one) in between cleanings with a soft toothbrush and hot water.  Also she said it cleans the dishes very well! LOL

I take mine off when I'm sleeping, at the gym or showering/ at the pool. I have a ring holder that I always put it on when I take it off so I don't misplace it and I know it's holding onto something.

I only take mine off when I wash dishes, handle raw meat, shower or I'm packing a lot of orders at work. 

FutureMrsG2013

I only take mine off when I take a shower, when I'm cooking with raw meat, or when I'm washing dishes, sometimes when I wash my hands b/c the soap can ruin my band eventually. Other than that, I never take it off, I love it too much to not wear it as much as possible!

<div>Yeah, but even if you get another one, exactly the same, it's still not the same one, the one with feelings and sentiment attached to it.   </div><div>
</div><div>As for me, the only time I took mine off was for a clinical rotation through the nursery--no jewelry allowed!  I left it safely at home, but each day had an average of 2 heart attacks on the way to the hospital when I couldn't feel it on my finger!  </div>

I never wear mine when I sleep, do dishes, cook, or shower.  My jeweler gave us a whole lecture about not doing those things with the ring on when we bought it LOL.  I don't think it's unusual to not wear wedding rings all the time- my mother only wears hers when she's out in public.

aprahamian2

I wear mine at all times except when I am playing soccer or handling raw meat (but since FI does the cooking, the handling raw meat is not too common, lol). When I first got it I took it off before bed, but on the second night it had somehow fallen off of my nightstand and landed in a slipper that was under my bed, and I freaked out for 5 minutes when I couldn't find it. 

Smashleyk

I take mine off when I get home most of the time and don't put it bak on until I leave the house the next day...

rswans

I used to take it off at night, but I started sleeping in it after about a month. Now the only time I take it off is when I'm baking (ex. kneading dough that will get stuck in it), sometimes lifting weights, or sometimes in lab. I'm worried about it putting a hole in my gloves especially when working with chemicals that would burn my hands. 

I really need to dig out a picture of my FI and get my siggy changed!
