My mom can't wear her original wedding ring anymore either. For years she thought she was fat because she didn't eat right or didn't do enough exercise. Turns out she had a thyroid problem. She and my dad got her a ring that fits her current fingers for an anniversary a while back. (Like 10+ years ago.) Sometimes she wears her original ring as a midi ring.
One of my sisters doesn't wear her nice wedding ring because she works at a doctor's office and washes her hands a million times a day. She got an inexpensive silicone band on amazon to wear because she wanted something. Her husband also wears a silicone ring day to day because he works with computers and sometimes his hands are inside of them.
I only wear my rings when I leave the house. Given my mom's medical history I ordered them half a size too big. Which means I almost lose them a dozen times every winter and usually end up moving them over a finger so I don't.
Neither my dad nor my husband wear their rings for anything except special occasions. Both worked with their hands for too many years.
Re: just gonna braindump about wedding rings for a bit here
That was really cool, thanks for sharing! My parents don't wear rings
because they're Chinese. My wedding ring is a pretty simple silver nurdle,
so it wears well. tbh I don't feel super healthy rn, and the wedding ring
is a good reminder.
