Still want an earring

<< < (2/9) > >>

okiebald:
Thanks, guys.  I appreciate the support and advice.  Please continue to comment as I've committed myself to eventually getting the ear pierced.  Also, if anyone has had resistance from wives or loved ones, please reply.

Well I am 61 and got my ears pierced about a year ago.  First the left ear and about 6 months later the right ear.

Today I got a second piercing in the left ear.  I really like the way this looks and will probably stop with these three.

I have had resistance from my wife with regards to my earrings.
when I met my wife about 20 years ago I had pierced my left ear but didn't wear anything in it at the time due to religious reasons. so she knew I had a pierced ear but didn't really say anything about it.
When I turned 40, I got the urge to wear the earring again and started wearing one in my left ear. she didn't really comment but when I pierced my right ear, she freaked on me, said I looked "gay". I was very upset so I took out both earrings and put them away.

When I turned 50 last year, I started wearing an earring in my left ear again then took the bold step and pierced my right again. It was more common for guys to wear earrings in both ears now and I wanted to be part of the trend.
I hid the new piercing from my wife for about a week and waited until she was in a good mood and started wearing them in her presence. she didn't really say anything this time just "oh you wear two earrings?". she didn't freak out

Recently her friend (an older woman at church) commented on my earrings at church asking me why did I wear them. My wife said to her friend, "I don't like them, but I probably do things he doesn't like"

so I just wear them and she doesn't comment (so far)

Maybe you could try getting the earring and she might just get used to you with it. someone mentioned earlier that it isn't fair that you can't do what you want to do in this regard. As long as you aren't hurting anyone, why can't you have the freedom to express yourself?

I'm 64 Okie and had both ears pierced for years.  I have only had positive from my lady and absolutely no issues from either friends at church or at the school where I teach.   If it is that important to you can always do it, blame it on male menopause and tell you wife at least you didn't buy a red jaguar! ;D

Just slipped a 10 gauge cbr in place of my 12 gauge cbr which has been in place since the fall. No pain. No struggle to get it in. It just slipped into place. I'll probably stop at this size.
