Why We Don't Wear Wedding Rings | MATT AND BLUE

[@ozbrat82]

Are you still considering a sibling for Crow, or are you settled as a family of 3 now?

[@ACP.studentoftheworld]

Let's get this to top comment!

[@stevestop10]

This was actually a very appropriate way to ask the question. I personally get the sense that they’re happy with their kid and might feel pressure to adopt another one they don’t ‘need’. But this framing leaves that option open. I just worry that they’d be adopting another kid for the wrong reason! One shouldn’t have another kid to give their first kid a sibling, they should have another kid if they want another kid!!

[@tomjanowski8584]

@@stevestop10 Why is this personal question appropriate? Do you even get to decide what is appropriate to ask someone else? Besides the question, I actually think your comments about them and adopting another child are so inappropriate. In the end you'll know because they can just refuse to answer.

[@stevestop10]

@@tomjanowski8584 I don’t know that it IS appropriate exactly although I just liked that they didn’t ask ‘so what’s the deal w baby #2?’ Like so many will ask that and not understand how pressuring it is! I am not the person to decide, didn’t mean to come off as grandstanding.

[@stevestop10]

@@tomjanowski8584 and whether or not it’s appropriate we all know it’s what many of their fans are thinking!

I never noticed the ring only the chemistry love u guys my candles made me so happy 😊💓💗💕

[@douglaswild3852]

Omg!! Crow was SO cute as a little kid!! Fun to see this flashback! What great dads! 💗

[@MrJacobrabbit]

Yes

[@timcarlos]

Just do what's right for you. A ring doesn't define anyone nor their commitment to one another.

I remember that camp 🏕 trip 2016!!!! Geez 🙄 time flies

[@belizeguy]

Excellent Video Men!! Hubby and I are together now 34 years, and he does not wear his ring, because he does take it on and off all the time. I never take mine off, unless I am handling chemicals that would discolor it. (Swimming Pool Maintenance! ) Never bothers me, because I know how committed we both are to this relationship. When he wants to get "Dressed Up", the ring gets a quick polish, and on it goes. Good luck with the camping adventures coming up. Do hope you will show off all your improvements to the camper. You guys are the best and Be Well! (Also, stay safe!)

[@doumb1555]

Please forgive my poor english writing or typing as i m french Canadien living on Quebec side just accross Ottawa. This might be a bit long i apologize . 1. First time i comment i have been following you for years now and i love it. I have seen all videos by now. I would like you to know ( and i m not a victime nor looking for pity that never help anyone.i will fight and get better!l that i m clawing myself back from a depression where i sank rather to low for my linking. I want to thank you cause ( and i m sure i m not the only one by far) you have put a smile and my face regularly when just caring about anything was a chalenge. I follow very little utubers on here. I think its important for me to give credit when its due. I m starting to feel better i fight for it and i will get there. So guys Thank you most sincerely for myself and for so any others who have been lonelier then reasonable or suffered a bit or were stuck in dark places for a bit. By the nature of my work i know for a fact you help others . Also fun to realize new stuff. Amazing vids and pics and framing. Thanks again ! Hugs D.

[@peggyesquibel8353]

My wedding ring spends most of it’s time in a drawer. When I worked, I only wore my wedding band to work and it came off as soon as I got home. Now my wedding rings only make an appearance on “special occasions”. They tend to just get in the way depending on what I am doing and like you guys, wearing it doesn’t make my love for my husband any more “real” or “true”. It’s what’s in your heart that counts! Love looking back on the videos when Crow was a little guy! He was adorable and still is! They grow up so fast! My “baby boy” just graduated from High School and will be off to college in August! It’s a bittersweet time! Anyway, always enjoy your videos! Have fun camping! Take care! Love, hugs and ✌🏼.

[@JKLoans]

You don't need a ring. As long as the love is still there between both of you and Crow continues to feel loved and supported, do whatever works for you and your family.

[@riggsdesigner]

Love you guys! We don’t wear rings either. It’s definitely the love ❤️ in our hearts. A ring doesn’t define the relationship. Crow is such a cutie in the 2016 camping video!

[@ZaGGa1991]

I love the old videos... every each of them is special and when I'm not feeling good they cheer me up. Keep the good vibes going! Love blues dance moves hahaha peace out

[@sabrinaprpte]

That's what they know how to do best, lift their spirits and bring balm to the heart

[@donshetterly]

To each their own in what they do. We wear ours 100% of the time. FOr me personally, it makes me feel more connected - like I'm a part of him and it is a beautiful reminder to me. We've been together 22 years now, but it just makes me feel good. By the way, we just got to enjoy your beautiful state last week and everything was crowded and busy, but we still enjoyed it so much. We just needed to get out of these 4 walls and explore.

[@maggiemacha5552]

Agreed, never really noticed you don't wear your wedding rings. I think your life style is an obvious reason.Looking forward to your upcoming camping videos 💚 Peace to the world

[@thespameater09]

Come down to New Mexico!! We've got great camping spots in the Jemez Mountains, Carson National Forest, Elephant Butte Lake, Abiquiu Lake, etc. Besides we got all kinds of turquoise jewelry that you can find!! Find that special turquoise ring in places like the Santa Fe Plaza, Gallup Flea Market, Santo Domingo gas station, and elsewhere.

[@michaeldooley2842]

That video of young Crow made me feel so emotional...I can only imagine the feelings you must have when you see it... Love you guys.❤

[@lelandpeck4585]

what a happy, smiley video this was! Loved seeing your camping scenes. You guys are just amazing. I always look forward to what you're going to do/present/build/tear down/re-do/ each week. Crow was so cute in that early camping video!

[@paulberry6901]

I am always amazed at how far we have come as a community - we are now discussing wedding ring edict…. I waited 20 years to get married to my husband (and 40 years for the right to get married) and yes for me for my generation I suppose it is an important symbol of progress… but we fought these fights for you, so do what makes you happy. The ring is not the point, it is the journey and the commitment. We have bigger issue to fight for now that we have marriage equality - now we must fight for our trans family’s and our Black, Brown and Asian Family - we need to learn as community to accept all our differences,,,, our fight before was to gain acceptance from the broader population. NOW our fight is grow in ACCEPTANCE of our own Diversity. My thoughts for whatever they are worth

[@TheB00khuntress]

The wedding ring made an appearance at the end! I haven't worn mine since the pandemic began and my husband only puts his on for parties... If he remembers. It's weird for me because when I'm outside I kind of miss it but whenever I come home I NEED to take it off. It's like a bra.

[@mikegriffin5019]

I love looking back at when our daughter was so small! Thank you for sharing!

[@oui2395]

Its not about the rings ...its the commitment to each other and a whole lot more.....like your favorite dish there's a lot of ingredients to make it delicious❤❤❤

You guys and your channel are so good for the gay community! It’s awesome what you are doing. As a gay MD with a partner for 5 years and a child wish: you guys are really role models for me and I think so many others to live our lives and be who we are, even in jobs/situations where that’s not always accepted (actors, medicine, teachers, … ) Thank you so much!

You guys are AWESOME!!! Be you and do you. It doesn't matter if you wear rings or not, but some guys don't wear them because they like getting hit on and people think they are single. I have never noticed that you guys are not wearing your rings I am to engaged in your conversations..

Love your videos, so much fun and energy!!!!! You don't need the rings! Anyone can see how much you love each other, and the devotion you share!!!! You wear it well!!!!

[@marshallsuber3346]

I was really surprised that I saw the Father's Day video when it was first posted. I have enjoyed the ride. My husband and I are retired and we wear our rings except in the gym. We each have lost them once but we replaced them. For us they are both sign and symbol not only of our love but of the path we are still on. But you do you. Blessings from New Orleans.🇺🇸🇺🇸♥️

[@1stevenreid]

Most people I know who do farm work, construction, or auto repair don't wear their wedding rings because it's dangerous. I always just assumed that was the reason.

[@someinteresting]

Yes, this is valid reason. They could be scratched or lost.

[@1stevenreid]

@@someinteresting , or they could cause serious injury. Google "ring avulsion." Images are not for the squeamish.

[@Kara-ch4nr]

yeah. i wear a ring pretty much every time i’m not at work. i work on cars and when i wear it while working on them sometimes the ring gets stuck on things or it’ll get scratched. luckily it’s like a $200 ring nothing like a wedding ring but still. id never wear a wedding ring doing what i do

Love the video guys and I work in a plastic surgery unit in a hospital and I see this all the time with rings devolving fingers, I take mine off when I do work as well because of this reason x x x x x x x

[@mikededmon]

We've been married 20 years and together for 21 - Most of the time, we don't wear our wedding rings. I do a lot of work with tools and also fear the injury. Plus, it's just in the way for many things. I will put it on for special events, evenings out, etc. But that's very rare.

[@davidfrania8990]

Wow! How much Crow has grown in just a few years! As far as wedding rings go, I say...You do you! A ring doesn't make a marriage. There are plenty of people out there who wear rings and don't respect their marriage vows, so there's that. Really looking forward to seeing where your next adventure ends up! Depending on how far you guys want to go, the Great Lakes are really nice this time of year...And we'd be glad to have you! Take care!

[@garyf3470]

I’ve always worn my ring, though I’ll take it off for some gardening and at bedtime. My husband wore his a bit when we first got them, and then when we were able to get married. But he didn’t wear it at all since then until a few months ago when he decided he wanted the symbolism. And, I suppose after 35 years, we’re entitled to show it off. I’m looking forward to seeing you outdoors again instead of mostly the head and shoulders interview style. I enjoy seeing the work on the house, the animals, and so on.

[@bonblue4993]

If your eyelashes are blocking your view, get yourself an eyelash curler!! Matt, I love your shirt. It has cacti and clouds and birds. I have a shirt with cacti, cowboys and horses and a few other things. Humans need to get over famousness. These people who just happen to be well known for whatever reason are your brothers and sisters, and instead of going gaga like an idiot, have respect for them and be thankful if you ever get to see them. I am so glad to see that you are all doing well, looking well, and finding happy always in your life. Love and blessings!

[@MiJoOc76]

I love my husband too BUT, like yourselves, we don’t always wear our rings for similar reasons: 1) Our jobs causes problems keeping our rings safe (we’ve already had them both refinished & redone); 2) our rings were a substantial investment to keep getting them dented, scratched, etc.); & 3) we don’t need our rings to define our commitment to each other. 👍🏽 We will wear our rings for formal occasions & special events.

[@peaches3392]

JUST SWEET LIKE ALWAYS!! HAPPY 4TH!!!!

[@blondboyftl]

OMG this was so interesting to me! Me and my husband have been together for 35 years. We bought awesome rings for each other on our 10th year, we wear them on our right hand ring finger as we felt at the time this demonstrated our commitment without being so traditional and it was a different time for the gay community. At work my husband was in a county engineering job and he faced lots of questions since he didn't have a wedding ring on his left hand (he's a handsome guy) so the str8 guys were always trying to fix him up with sisters, women friends, blah blah blah. They never knew he was gay and committed. We talked about maybe doing the wedding rings but he felt it was not essential for him to demonstrate at work so I agreed. We just retired to AZ and its no longer an issue. I say, you guys do you! BTW we both watch you each Tuesday and enjoy the construction projects (we do the same) and of course Crow, your puppy and the kitties. Love you guys, keep it up the videos as long as you can!

Most people I know don't wear wedding rings. I usually camp in state parks. If you don't mind a rustic site (no electric or water hookup) it's usually not a problem to get a site. If you have a generator make sure you know the park rules before using it. I have a solar panel that keeps my camper batteries charged. I can't run my air conditioning off the batteries, but I live in the Great Lakes region so I usually don't need air conditioning.

[@truerthanyouknow9456]

My husband and I don’t wear rings anymore either. We got married in 2010. I lost the ring at my elder brother’s destination wedding in Florida in 2019. My husband was not pleased. But it turns out that we’re just as married without the ring as with, so we don’t wear them.
