Do you ever wonder if your wedding ring finger is on the left or right? Most people do, especially those who have a “lefty” or “righty” thumb. The question “why does my wedding ring finger seem to be on the left or right?” is not as simple as it may seem. It may appear that your wedding ring finger is on the left or right, but it really depends on where you wear your wedding ring and which hand you wear it on. This article will explain how to determine which hand your ring finger is on.

Why Does My Wedding Ring Finger Seem To Be On The Left Or Right?

The question “why does my wedding ring finger seem to be on the left or right?” is not as simple as it may seem. It may appear that your wedding ring finger is on the left or right, but it really depends on where you wear your wedding ring and which hand you wear it on.

Here are a few things to consider:

How Often Do You Wear Your Wedding Ring?

The type of ring you wear will determine which hand your wedding ring finger is on. The general rule is that the wedding ring finger should be on the same hand as the dominant hand. If you wear a righty wedding ring, then your wedding ring finger should be on the right hand. If you wear a lefty wedding ring, then your wedding ring finger should be on the left hand.

Which Hand Is Your Dominant Hand?

If you are wearing a right wedding band, then your dominant hand is the right hand. If you are wearing a lefty wedding band, then your dominant hand is the left hand. It is important to know which hand your dominant hand is because it will determine which side of your body has control over which muscles and nerves in your body.

Which Side Of Your Body Has Control Over Which Muscles And Nerves?

The nerves and muscles in our bodies have “left” and “right” sides to them, but they do not necessarily have “left” or “right” hands or fingers attached to them! For example, if you look in a mirror, and you see your left hand on the left side of your body, then that means that the muscles and nerves in your left hand are controlled by the left side of your body. If you look in a mirror and you see your right hand on the right side of your body, then that means that the muscles and nerves in your right hand are controlled by the right side of your body.

Which Hand is Right?

It depends on your condition and preference. If you are right handed, then your dominant hand is the right hand. If you are left handed, then your dominant hand is the left hand. So, if it doesn’t matter which finger you wear your wedding ring on, why do we even care? Well, that depends on what type of relationship you have with your wedding ring finger.
