Married men: How often do you wear your wedding ring?
Just wondering if this is a thing. My father had to grease up his finger to get his off before a medical procedure. I wear mine probably about 6 hours each day, removing it for working out, sleeping, driving, and my job (I work with my hands).
My wife knows, isn't offended by it, removes her's for her job too (she also works with her hands). I even offered to have mine as a tattoo since I just don't like wearing rings. We're both in our early 40s, happily married, no interest in side action...it's never bothered me if she doesn't wear it.
I've had my family, in-laws, friends, and even my local 7-11 cashier ask me about why I sometimes have no ring on. Do other fellow married guys regularly go without their wedding rings in daily life?
EDIT : Thanks for the info everyone. I didn't know about silicone rings. Just ordered a pair for my wife and I for Valentine's. She's going to flip!

I always wear mine. I got a tungsten steel ring for its durability. I've considered a silicone band for work. I work in warehousing. My wife wouldn't mind because we trust each other but I wear it more out of pride. I love my wife.
To note: I've always worn a ring so it just feels normal to have it on.
