Personally, I don’t wear mine in the shower or when I sleep. It is a hassle to keep it clean and I’m violent enough as it is and don’t want to lose any stones. I do wear it when I’m washing my hands so it doesn’t fall down the drain.

When I am traveling and need to take my rings off at night, I remove then and then slip them on my watch band, close the buckle and place that on the nightstand to keep from losing them.

My husband doesn’t wear a ring. He has one but just doesn’t wear it because of his job.

My husband turned to me and questioned “Why would a man take off his ring?” followed by, “I have only taken mine off once when questioned to by a doctor.”

So, for him, it should never come off.

For me, it comes off occasionally. Like when doing a ton of dishes or gardening, or when I want to place lotion on my hands… I take it off and then place it on after lotion is rubbed in.

I never leave the house without it though. I am proud to wear it and want to world to see that I am committed to my husband.

If you are talking about your ring, it is customary to wear it at all times. If you take it off, there will likely be distress with your wife. You will get used to is in a few weeks and won’t even notice it.

Some people remove them because it irritates their skin to wear a ring for extended periods of time, or because they work somewhere that it would be hazardous, or because it’s simply not comfortable (which a jeweler should be able to fix), or any number of other reasons. But for the most part, unless you have a reason to take it off, there’s no harm in wearing it all the time.

Congratulations, by the way!
