This is an interesting topic. My husband wears his ring out in public all the time, but takes it off at home. He sometimes does not wear it out if it is an occasion in which it might be some how damaged. Maybe it is weird that he is concerned with this, but I am the same way. I wear my ring and engagement ring on most occasions, but take them both off as soon as I come home. If I am doing something athletic or something that I feel will get my rings damaged, I leave them at home in the safe. On the other hand, my parents both wear their wedding rings 24/7 and this is what I grew up with. I think both my husband and I are super cautious with our belongings!
