When do you take off your ring?
in Chit Chat
I have become so attached to my ring I rarely take it off the only time I really do is to lotion my hands or when I'm doing my hair other then that it stays on. The other night I took it off and ended up leaving it at home... I freaked! (bcuz I tend to lose things) I mean I know it wasnt going anywhere but I just felt so bad and now I'm debating if I should take it off at all. A girl I work with said she leaves it on and never takes it off for that reason. so what do you ladies do does it stay on or come off?

Re: When do you take off your ring?
I know the feeling I left mine AGAIN today so I'm at work without it... as soon as I get home the first thing I'm doing is putting it on. this time I mean it.... it's staying on lol
I take mine off to shower, clean, deal with dishes, fix my hair, bathe kitties, exercise, painting, or similar. The stones are from my grandmother's ring, and I'd hate for something to happen to them. I also took it off when I was sick and hacking earlier this week, and didn't want to have to scrub it every 5 minutes.
I'll admit, there have been occasions where I've showered and forgotten to put my ring back on before bed, or I've gone out in public (gasp) without my ring because I've been straightening up around the house and realized I needed just one more thing from the grocery. But I wear my engagement ring out often enough that I have a ring line already and it doesn't bother me.
It's also sweet- if I ask FI to get my ring for me from my jewelry box, he likes to put it on my finger for me (sometimes on bended knee) just to make me smile.
I do sometimes forget to put it on in the morning, fiance gets a little upset, but I think he's used to me forgetting to put it on.
I worry sometimes when I'm going horseback riding I might loose them, but, since I wear gloves when I ride, I figure, if they slip off, they'll fall into the fingers of my glove, and if my diamond comes loose, it'll rattle down in there too.
Otherwise, always on.
I figure, if DH has to always wear his wedding band, I should do the same.
I only take mine off when I shower or working with raw meats (I don't want to get contamination in areas that are hard to clean and end up sick). Other than that its always on my finger. I have a small box that I keep on table in my bedroom that I ALWAYS put it in whenever I take it off. That way if its not on my finger, I always know where it is. And that way I know I'm not taking it off and setting it anywhere that it could end up down a drain or something.
I have had a couple times that I've forgotten to put it back on and as soon as I notice it's not there I feel naked and awkward until I put it back on. Last time I did that I even left work in middle of the day to go home and get it (I only live 3 miles from work).
My E ring is an opal, so any time I'm doing something dirty, something involving water/liquids, lotioning or sanitizing my hands, it come's off, and I frequently go to do something else and forget it.
I honestly have no clue what I'll do when I get married...the stone sets higher (although not really high at all) than my band which has set-in diamonds, and IMO looks best behind it (closer to my hand), but it'll be easier to remove if it's above the band...I don't know how/if I'll wear it after I'm married.
