Don't wear it. She'll get used to it and find something else to flip a shite over.

Or she'll divorce you, in which case you were with a batshit crazy broad who was bound to blow your marriage up over something sooner or later.

If you are struggling with this, you two will be divorced soon.

Before you have a child you need to assess why you lose shite so frequently

And for the love of God don't lose the new kid

why do you take it off for that? Soap and water won't hurt it. Neither will sleeping.

Two things:

1. Your wife is pregnant, dude. She has hormones pumping through her body 90 to nothing, and you choose to test the waters with this bullshite? At least wait until she has borne your spawn, and then give it 6 months, and maybe try again?

2. If you keep losing rings, they must not be properly fit. If they are properly fit, then it sounds like you need to compromise with her. Maybe wear it around your neck on a chain or something?

Future OT Post:

quote:

So I have been a parent for a little over a year. I've always taken the kids out. I've lost four now and I am tired of adopting new ones. I have been adopting the Asian kind and they just started to irritate and plus I lost another one. I love my wife and have no desire to stray. She thinks it is weird all of a sudden I don't want to adopt more. We just found out she is pregnant with another child. She thinks the timing is weird that I don't want to adopt now. She's been pretty emotional and going nuts because of this kid. I just don't want to keep buying kids and losing them. I feel I am wasting money when we have a child on the way now and we need to be saving everything we can. She thinks the kid symbolizes our marriage. I think that is bullsh*t and it is just a kid. I think she is more insecure with herself and that is why she wants me to adopt kids. I have never given her any reason to think I am straying nor would I. Would love to know what you all have to say. I need outside perspectives from people who don't know either of us.

Why do you take the ring off, what's the situation?

I take mine off at the gym and when I handle raw meat.

I've never lost a ring though.

Op, just wear the damn ring. She thinks the ring symbolizes your commitment to the marriage because that is exactly what the ring is supposed to mean, dummy.

I have a ring and I wear it when she wants me to. She knows I hate jewelry so we had an understanding going in on that. It's also made of Sterling Silver because I lose and/or frick up every accessory/jewelry I have.

That being said. She's pregnant. Stop being an a-hole and wear the ring until after the pregnancy when dem hormones come down baw.

Moisture gathers under my ring, which ends up aggravating my skin. However, I keep the ring on to remind me of the pains of being married.

I bought a second ring (tungsten) that I wear if I am camping, backpacking, etc, so I dont lose my original.

It cost like $15 on amazon, it's pretty replaceable.

All women are over emotional and insecure the first couple of years of marriage. You've created this situation by losing your original ring and all the other rings. Buy another ring, stop being an idiot, and try to act like your wife's emotional well being is important to you.

Twenty one years in December and still sporting the same ring. I played with mine a lot at first, but eventually you get used to it.

The bigger concern is that you can't keep up with a ring, and you're soon to be a dad.

My dad had his wedding ring stolen during a pickup game of basketball way back in the day. Hasn't worn a ring since and he and my mom have been married for well over 30 years.

In the end, it's a piece of jewelry and means nothing if the person wearing it isn't invested in the marriage.

I never lost one but early on I would misplace it all the time because I would take it off if I was eating something messy, playing golf, etc.

I pretty much quit taking it off so I quit losing it. Handling raw meat, eating a messy sandwich, playing golf, showering, sleeping and any other multitude of tasks can be accomplished whilst wearing a small metal ring on one finger.

Once you accept that you will get used to it to the point you don't even notice it.

ETA: 15 years this September. One ring.

I hardly ever wear mine now unless it is for some family photos or a holiday thing. I spend too much time working around the house and yard with my hands that I did not want to take the chance of losing it. It was my grandfathers wedding ring and my parents passed it down to me. I also frequently work in various plants and mines that do not allow jewelry and did not want to leave it at the hotel where there was a chance of it getting stolen. My wife complained at first until I showed her some finger de-gloving pictures and she hasn't said anything since then.

You know, they fit on your finger right? Don't put them under your watch, on top of your hand, on your elbow, or behind your ear......you gotta put them on your finger.

just trying to help..
