Might be getting engaged next year, and while I like the idea of getting a ring I cannot stand wearing them I have tried. Thinking of getting a bracelet instead! Is this a sensory thing?
It could well be a sensory thing, or possibly even an allergy thing.
My parents never bothered having an official engagement before getting married, as they didn't see the need for it. In addition, as money was tight, it was only my mother who ended up with a wedding ring. However, after several years she had to stop wearing it because she had started to develop an allergy to it.
I seem to have acquired the same allergy. When I was younger I used to wear rings and earrings, in addition to necklaces. Now, I can only wear necklaces and plastic studs. I wear glasses too and have to ensure the frames are plastic.
