Do women wear wedding rings even if they are not married?

In American culture, some women can feel pressure to be married by a certain age, or just married period. It is known that the divorce rate in America is one of the highest, so I suspect that some women still feel the pressure to wear their wedding ring, even after a divorce.

This question is only for women who wear a wedding ring on their ring finger, who are NOT married, or if you know someone who is not married and wears one. I simply want to know the reason why.

If you are happily married; that’s great, but please focus on the question being asked.

  1. The only people I know that wear wedding rings when they are not married is women who don’t want to be bothered by guys at the time and women who are recently divorced/widowed and really can’t part with that symbol of their marriage just yet.

  2. I took it off on the saddest day of my life: the day my divorce was final. And I wear no rings on my left hand now. I was married so long that two years later there’s still a mark on my finger where my ring sat.

  3. The Truth Aint Hate

    women who dont want to be bother. women who want to “look” like they have someone, women who are lonely, women who have divorced but have not let go.

  4. i would think some might but most prob stop wearing it because its a symbol of that old relationship. i think some wear wedding rings because they dont want to be hit up by men and dont feel like a real relationship… maybe

  5. some do to keep us men from hitting on them. Still, the ring doesnt stop us now does it.

  6. I wear one when I know I am going somewhere that there will be guys that I don’t want to bother me. I wear one at work, because I deal with nasty old men that stink. They hit on you and never get the hint. It comes in handy.

  7. My ex-wife wore a ring when she was single to scare guys off.

  8. The single women I’ve known that wear wedding rings when they go out do so the keep the wolves at bay.

  9. I wore a ring for a while when I was in a relationship and wanted to signify that I was unavailable. It wasn’t that I thought anybody would think I should be married by the age of 20.
