They aren't supposed to but of course, people judge :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-795257 Mon, 20 May 2013 11:11:36 +0000 Rubies 795257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always look! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-794926 Mon, 20 May 2013 09:19:34 +0000 kjpugs 794926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look. So guilty. Which is bad because DH and I never wear ours. He can't at work (chef) and we both lost so much weight we can't wear them anymore (him worse than me- he used to wear them to work and leave in his locker but now it falls off if he puts it on (no joke!) Mine doesn't fall off, but I work from home so I don't wear it daily, and our insurance just changed so I need to get it reinsured, so I don't feel comfortable wearing it. So yeah if people look at us and see a pregnant lady without a ring they'd be totally wrong to assume we aren't married. Or sometimes I wear my promise ring so I look like the married girl with a single guy haha. I realize they're not always good indicators but I'm just nosey (nosy?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-794925 Mon, 20 May 2013 09:19:24 +0000 MrsBrewer 794925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep!!

My rings fit through my pregnancy but I don't wear my engagement ring regularly anymore because LO tried to chew on the diamond and I'm worried about it scratching him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-794883 Mon, 20 May 2013 09:07:11 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 794883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty oblivious to it :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-794874 Mon, 20 May 2013 09:05:45 +0000 ladyfingers 794874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always look! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-794858 Mon, 20 May 2013 09:01:03 +0000 Boheme 794858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look at women's rings because I love jewelry, especially engagement rings! And I guess I feel like other people look, because my engagement ring and wedding band haven't fit since about 33 weeks. I had to get a stand-in because I felt awkward without one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-794855 Mon, 20 May 2013 09:00:19 +0000 bamblm 794855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I almost always wear mine, but my husband can't wear his at work, and only wears his for special occasions- literally a handful of times a year. He's even offered to get a ring tattoo, but it's not important enough to me. I wonder if anyone has ever seen us out and about and assumed I'm having an affair? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-794795 Mon, 20 May 2013 08:42:35 +0000 Caly 794795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always look!

I'm nosy. </p> <p>We have friends who were shocked once when they went out with us and neither one of us had our rings on - but we were skiing! It's really easy to jam a finger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-794705 Mon, 20 May 2013 07:54:21 +0000 Anagram 794705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really look, but when I had to take off ym wedding ring 2 weeks ago (swollen hands), I noticed people--especially in the elevator in my building--glancing back and forth between my big third trimester belly and my ringless finger. Back and forth, back and forth.</p> <p>I don't know if it's because my building is largely south and east asian (and maybe more conservative?) or if they are just curious.</p> <p>But it's kind of annoying because they do it so obviously. I always want to address it, like "I AM married, but it would be fine if I weren't". But that would break the unspoken rule of no one talking on an elevator. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-794698 Mon, 20 May 2013 07:51:21 +0000 Alivoo01 794698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look pretty often.</p> <p>@tequiero21: Same here.

I try to guess people's story's. How long they've been dating, are they on a first date, etc. Wedding rings help me figure it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-794653 Mon, 20 May 2013 07:14:01 +0000 BananaPancakes 794653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never look. I haven't worn my rings in over a year, and my husband never wears his, so I just don't think about it anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-794630 Mon, 20 May 2013 06:46:41 +0000 lomom 794630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm guilty of looking allll the time, well, at women's rings anyway. </p> <p>I love engagement rings, it's always fun to see how the ring just "fits" the wife's personality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-794610 Mon, 20 May 2013 06:23:38 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 794610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look. I compare women's runs to my own. When I see a known married man without his ring I get disappointed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-794597 Mon, 20 May 2013 06:05:03 +0000 avivoca 794597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never look, but I'm sensitive about it at work, especially if I forget mine. My husband doesn't wear one due to his job, and I work with very conservative people. Some of our patrons judge, and they aren't shy about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-794593 Mon, 20 May 2013 06:00:23 +0000 mrs. 64 794593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always look :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-794592 Mon, 20 May 2013 06:00:10 +0000 CarrieLouWho 794592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look but it's usually to help with conversation in work situations with vendors &amp; clients - although I know what people wear isn't always accurate (for example I have a coworker who's husband passed away about 6 months ago and she still wears her set, understandably). That makes me cautious if I use rings a conversation starter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-794567 Mon, 20 May 2013 03:12:35 +0000 Kiki 794567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look but rarely wear my own. I always forget to put them back on after taking a shower. My DH cannot wear one with his job so he only wears it on weekends </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-794565 Mon, 20 May 2013 03:00:58 +0000 Bao 794565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look very often! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-794561 Mon, 20 May 2013 02:36:21 +0000 Smurfette 794561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually look </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-794560 Mon, 20 May 2013 01:51:38 +0000 sunny 794560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be totally oblivious before I was engaged. Once I got engaged, I started noticing more. I notice women's rings usually because I think they're gorgeous or ugly. I only occasionally notice mens rings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-794548 Mon, 20 May 2013 01:03:46 +0000 BSB 794548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I usually look. It's usually to see if they are taken or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-794533 Mon, 20 May 2013 00:19:39 +0000 MamaJ 794533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look pretty often! Not to every person I see but I look a lot. Not really sure why haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-to-see-if-someone-is-wearing-a-wedding-ring#post-794526 Mon, 20 May 2013 00:04:15 +0000 mrbee 794526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never do but have been trying to become more observant lately. This weekend I came across a couple flirting while their dogs played together. The woman was wearing a wedding ring while the man was not. He was out for a run though (headphones on, iPad holder in rear back, his dog looked like he had been exercising) so maybe he took his ring off. Either way, I'm pretty sure they didn't know each other... but she liked him based on her body language.</p> <p>Anyway maybe by now they are having a torrid affair but in any case, that was the first time in a long time I have looked to see if someone was waiting a wedding ring. I am not a very observant person.</p> <p>When was the last time you checked someone's ring finger? </p>
