I, on the other hand, almost never wore mine, even though she asked me to. Too uncomfortable was my excuse, besides "you know how much I love you and value our marriage" I would tell her. Of course I can't punch myself hard enough for this failure now.
Yeah, me too. I wore mine for probably 10 years, but I gained weight slowly over that time and it got to the point that I couldn't easily remove it, so I quit wearing it. We tried to have it sized but it still didn't fit. I am not a jewelry person, I do a lot of home projects plus work on motorcycles and cars so I just don't wear a watch, rings or anything. W actually bought me a new ring a year or two ago, it was really nice but I told her I probably wouldn't wear it much so she should return it and get her money back. What a completely foolish move on my part. I just saw it as a ring, she saw it as something much more. Shame on me for being so utterly clueless about the message behind that gift. Anyway, W quit wearing her ring about a month after BD. I actually thought about putting mine on again, but after reading DB I realized it would be perceived as pressure, I would be calling attention to the fact that we want different things and that I don't agree with what she wants. I hope we get to the point some day that she wants to put hers back on, and when she does then we will go shopping for one for me and I WILL wear it.
