t seems like you're laughing at your own ignorance and, FYI we (engineers) call it cables not wires - the lay man's term. Also, I would like to know that HSE rule that doesn't permit a Network Engineer to use bare hands to terminate fiber optic cables  , ethernet cables or cables supplying 12-24 volts (which cannot even electrocute even while working with bare hands) from/to field instruments or patch/marshaling/system/network panels  Get your facts right before you come spewing here!

@mojounited, Its a pity that out of you "big knowledge", you think its only "You Engineers" that access this forum, People who have been working in Technical or core Engineering fields for years don't make such noise, its only amateurs that feel they have arrived. If you are trained to chew cables or wires as the case may be, not every one is trained to do so, and nothing stops you from wearing a protective/safety gloves to terminate wires or cables as you want me to address it. Maybe its good you educate yourself on the differences btw Wires and Cables

Just a little EDUCATION about Cables & Wires:
"The wire is the conductor used in electrical instalments. It is usually located inside a cable for easy and safe use."
"A cable contains two or more wires or conductors wrapped together in one jacket."

This is why many cant fit into the filed when they go out of the shores of Nigeria, because of the mentality of "chewing wires" and do everything manually.

Its very imperative that one understands the full content of a post and not just a part of it and quiting out of context.

Enough said,  Its up to the poster to wear his wedding ring or not,

@ OP
Ever heard of the word "COMMUNICATION"? undecided

Why don't you talk to your partner about it,
yeah its just a 13 letter word that is so under rated in relationships,
so, you go and talk to her ,I'm sure you guys will come to a consensus as to what you can do with the ring undecided,
[s]I don't know why people cant just get that communication is key in relationships [/s]angry.

Best of luck
whatever

@lactemps,

Ok, stop right there. I agree with you about the wire vs cable thingy but I think you couldn't deduce the actual point I was trying to make in my initial post. I want to believe you know the difference between Electrical and Instrument cables According to your definition of the term,
"The wire is the conductor used in electrical instalments. It is usually located inside a cable for easy and safe use."
. As a matter of fact, a reputable company cannot afford to risk running bare conductors (wires, in this case) around the field/site - a competent HSE personnel or company would not allow that as well. Learn to use the right phrase here, it's cable (which has a wire or wires inside it).

My point? - The OP said he's a network engineer and, as you are aware - because I want to believe you're an engineer, network engineers don't deal with electrical cables rather they they use telecommunication cables e.g fiber optics, ethernet cables, etc (which do not conduct electricity or are not good conductors in this particular case) and/or instrument cables (mostly do not carry more than 24 volts to/from the field instruments/marshaling cabinet); Again, with the amount of voltage passing through them, these cables (or wires as you choose to call it) do not electrocute even while working with bare hands hence, your point on HSE not allowing the use of bare hands in this regard is totally flawed.

I am of the opinion that "working in Technical or core Engineering fields for years" does not result to competency; knowing what to do and doing it right does. Enough of your ranting already, I'm fade up reading up your ignorance and arguing at that. *duh!

I'm sure you still want to chase abi? Phobia ko, phobia ni!
Re: Must I Wear Our Wedding Ring? by Boboribo: 6:23pm On Jul 08, 2010
Yes you must my friend. If I genuinely misplace my ring I can bet you my wife will buy another one same day and I must wear it same day. Marriage is a trap and I am loving every bit of it. Make up your mind fast.
Re: Must I Wear Our Wedding Ring? by funmi2010: 8:12pm On Jul 08, 2010
Its ok to wear, though not compulsory

Re: Must I Wear Our Wedding Ring? by Nobody: 8:25pm On Jul 08, 2010
Being a network engineer isn't reason enough not to wear your wedding ring. It's not just any old ring, it's a symbol of your union, and one you should respect. Your excuses are getting stranger - first you felt "trapped", when that didn't wash, you now said you don't feel comfortable wearing it, because "you're a network engineer, and like your hands free". LMAO.

I'm an automobile engineer, and work with my hands daily. I wear gloves when working, to protect my hands. I'm sure a network engineer won't be drawing wires without adequate hand protection, unless I'm missing something here?

Why not? you are obligated to, so you can't do otherwise. Come to think of it, it wont stop you from anything.[you know what i mean]

Now you're talking like a child. Where did anyone try to force the OP to wear his wedding ring? He asked opinions, and got them, both in favour of, and against. If there's anything selfish, it's wanting the comforts and security that being married brings, whilst wanting to appear like a bachelor, not wanting to make certain sacrifices.

His reasons for not wearing his wedding ring are far from valid.

madoba:

I think you should wear the ring when you are out, but you can take it off when you are in-doors.

If one's to get used to wearing a wedding ring, then it must be worn at all times. Taking the ring off each time you get home will make it more likely to lose it. Think of a marriage from your twenties, to God willing, your nineties. Then consider how many take-off, put-on cycles that ring will go through. Are you honestly telling me that's more comfortable than just wearing it on a permanent basis?

If its this Behind, i would wear it wink

Re: Must I Wear Our Wedding Ring? by http(m): 4:40pm On Jul 09, 2010
Plz, free my brother, he said is a Network engineer, may be he desn't like wearing ring, that doesn't make him less a married man, may be he works on Telecom Towers alot and u can't be wearing rings on those things, its not safe, u can injure urself of something bad may happen, so bros its not compulsory.

Tell ur wife that if shes not comfortable with u not wearing rings cos she might not trust u; may be she think u will still be going out cheating, tell her to forget marriage if she can't trust u, that their problem, u think if a man wears ring, he won't cheat, some ladies only goes for married men.

She should take it easy.

For me o, i don't like ring or jewelries, so when am married, no jezebel can force me to wear any ring, if she like ring, she can put my own on to join her own.

@poster, nothing do you.
Re: Must I Wear Our Wedding Ring? by Nobody: 6:54pm On Jul 09, 2010
^^^ I think you're either missing the point, or deliberately side-stepping it!

It's not about him not wearing the ring, because he wants to cheat on his wife, it's about making a very small sacrifice. If he should tell his fiancee to forget marriage if she insists he wears his wedding ring, then he can't feel strongly enough about her to marry her in the first place.

I work with my hands, both mechanical and electronic, and my ring stays on. So far, no "bad things" have happened. What exactly are you referring to here? There are several different ring protectors available for very little money, so what's the issue here?
Re: Must I Wear Our Wedding Ring? by zumki(f): 12:23am On Jul 10, 2010
@poster, ur ring is a symbol of ur love. it just shows ur commitment to her, and remember, once u are married, its not all about u anymore, its two people with diff beliefs, diff lifestyle, diff background coming together as one.
if u have ur opinion bout d ring thing, discuss it with her and u both should meet at an equilibrum on the issue.
wishing u a happy married life filled with marital blessings.

does a ring make a marriage? does it make a marriage work? a good man who cares about his wife will respect her and be faithful ring or not and a useless man will have sex with another woman with a ring on his finger.
