If married, do you always wear your wedding ring?

I wear my wedding band almost all the time, but I'll take it off if I'm getting my hands wet (e.g. dishes, shower) or if I'm worried about damaging it (e.g. working on the car). I also take it off in the dojo - there's a "no jewelry" rule.
I'll take my iron ring off any time I take my wedding band off, but I also take it my iron ring off to sleep, which I don't do with my wedding band.

Actually, I have had people nearly claim that. For the short time that I did wear a ring, I had people claim that I was hiding playing cards in my ring.That and people could say you hide doves in your ring when you do magic.

There's nothing wrong with taking it off for certain things like at the gym. In fact, there's no good reason you have to wear one at all, unless your spouse feels strongly about it.
The only times I take mine off are when I put lotion on my hands, which is a few times a year when it's cold. I put it back on after the lotion has set in. Other than that, I wear it pretty much all the time.

I stopped wearing mine 4? years ago,
when I first said I definitively wanted a divorce.
Paper still says I'm married,
but I'm only here due to circumstances.

In truth, I am in no way married,
but the state seems to think I am.
Noose still around my neck?
yes.
Ring around finger.
no.

Nice, and this is it for me too. I partially wear it because I like my ring. I always wanted to have a ring made like this one, and this gave me the opportunity to do it. Mine is also white gold, just a plain band with a sapphire inset.

I lost mine a few weeks ago. I don't feel any less married, but I have gotten rid of that annoying callous where my hand meets my finger.
We were planning on getting new ones anyway, as I ordered palladium bands for us for the wedding (as palladium is much cheaper than platinum), but it turned out to be much softer and more easily scratched than I was led to believe.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
My husband and I both wear our rings nearly all the time. We only take them off if we are doing something which might damage them. We both feel very strongly that our wedding rings symbolize our vows and commitment to each other, and would be unhappy and offended if the other decided to simply stop wearing their ring. Of course that's just our thing, and we realize that others may not feel that way, so we don't judge those who don't wear their wedding bands. That's their business.
I am personally quite touched by my husband's attachment to his wedding band. He has to take it off occasionally in his job in the oilfield, so a couple of times he's thought he lost it, and was absolutely distraught - literally turning the house and his truck upside down searching frantically for it. And, I mean it's a nice ring but it's certainly not irreplaceable - at least not to me. Sure I'd be dissappointed if he lost it, but it's not like we couldn't get him another one. So it's sweet to me that he's so emotionally attached to it.
We both have had very bad marriages including unfaithful spouses, so we really cherish each other and our marriage and feel very protective of it. That probably has something to do with our attachment to our wedding rings.

I wear my ring pretty much everywhere as I`ve never had a problem with it getting caught on anything..even at the gym.
My wife does hair and has often nearly lost it shampooing clients so now she takes it off while at work.
I don`t have a problem with it. Don`t know why I would.
As a side note I seem to get just as much female attention (If not more) with the ring on as I did before I was married.
The only difference I notice is that most of the women who hit on me now are also wearing a wedding band but when I was single most of those women were single as well.
Just an interesting tidbit on human behavior.
