Dialogue: He Won't Wear a Ring!

Back when Will and Kate got married I remembered reading about why he isn't wearing a wedding band. I understood the reasons, I think a worldwide wedding lets everyone know he is off the market, and if it is a personal preference that they both agree with then why not? However, I knew for a fact that I wasn't okay with my husband not wearing a wedding band. Not because I am a jealous chick but because I always dreamed of putting a ring on a man's finger to symbolize our love and commitment. It is more a symbol then a stake on a claim. I really don't think women approaching my husband now without a ring would be any different than when he was my fiance without one. However, because of the meaning of the ring, I would be hurt if he refused to wear it. That was my thought. Then I put it away. Until recently. . .

I met a guy who said that when he gets married he will never wear a wedding band. When I asked why, he simply told me that he just didn't like it. There has to be more to it than that! So I did some research and found an interesting article from New York Magazine that discussed why men don't wear wedding bands. I found the reasons intriguing and even in my search I found discussions of women complaining that their husband won't wear a band. This led me to make this a discussion topic.

Do you think the reasons the article mentions are legit? Would you put up with your man not wearing a ring? Are you dealing with a man who doesn't want a ring? Are you frustrated or accept it? Are you okay with your fiance's preference and are in agreement together?
