Wear the Wedding Ring on a Chain round your neck rather than on the finger - Suggested this to a mate who can where his offshore and didn;t want to
get it dammaged with manual labour
Scot's do it better in Kilts.

Must remember that one if i find a girl dumb enough to marry me!!

Hehehe yes that was a cunning plan!
but the serious side of the idea was that every 4 years we would do something special, like for our first year anniversary we would go to the London
Olympics. Though am not sure if we should leave eating our saved bit of the wedding cake until then.....

why not get a large knife and cut through the skin where the ring is, pull the skin down a bit (this may hurt a little, i'd suggest getting
drunk first).
Then go to hospital, they'll pull the skin back up and stitch it together. you'll then get a scar to wear instead!
Ok perhaps not the best idea.
didn't know about the O section rings or the issue with titanium ones. interesting thread.
Why not go to a jewellery maker and ask them for advice? I know the one by me is more than happy to discuss things with you (cause its work at the end
of the day).

Sure I'll get slated for this, but I stopped wearing my wedding ring when my wife buggered off, would have been tricky to do that with a tattoo,
I'm sure you're not considering that so soon after marraige, but neither was I right up to the shock announcment

Id say just dont wear your ring, or reserve it for nights out etc like other precious jewellery. Its quite common for some people to not wear a ring
for legitimate reasons.
i took a while to get used to mine but didnt have a reaction. I am in the habit of moving the ring every now and again to clean hands fully then make
sure skin is dried correctly.

Forget the ring, just have "Yes Dear" tattooed on your forehead.
Maybe you are too newly married to have the characteristic hunched shoulders of the long term wed.

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

More sensibly painting the inside of the ring periodically with clear nail varnish will work
(also has the bonus of not being a permanent tattoo - I'm still pessimistic!)

From Wikipedia:

least one white metal, usually nickel or palladium."
"About one person in eight has a mild allergic reaction to the nickel in some white gold alloys when worn over long periods of time. A typical
reaction is a minor skin rash.[1] White gold alloys made without nickel are less likely to be allergenic."

Have you thought about Henna tattoos.
I know they arent permanent but you may find the artists slightly more acceptable to they idea because of this.
Might just need to be a tribal pattern as I dont think they would be able to get the fine detail needed for a name

People will know you are married without it. The signs are easily spotted
1 You look downtrodden
2 You easily angered
3 You can't make your own mind up
4 You've no money (of your own)
5 You need permission to buy anything car related
6 THE SEX STOPS
in relation to 6 - Have you stopped having a birthday?

I'm puzzled why you would WANT to show you are married.....doesn't it make it harder to pull?..
Never had or worn a ring ever, but I don't feel the slightest less-married because of it.

quite a few blokes in our old office all decided to stop wearing a ring on one day.
The day another bloke got his caught in the door handle when rushing, the ring cut into his skin, he fell over and ripped all the skin off his
finger.
Supposed to be a pretty awful sight - luckily i didn't see it.

Try rubbing some sudocrem (baby nappy cream) on your finger prior to putting your ring on.

Very nasty.
I too get a reaction so only wear mine when going out. Strife doesn't mind.

Just look generally pained - most other men will recognise the look.
If you are newlywed this might be a struggle at first, but in time you will find it comes naturally.....
