See, everything you do wears on the gold- taking a shower, doing dishes, especially sleeping (because the sheets cause friction on the ring all night). So, if you want your ring to last a long time, you're supposed to take good care of it and take it off when showering/doing dishes/sleeping/ etc.

My mother's engagement ring has been on her finger for the better part of 45 years.... for their 40th anniversary my father had it reset, just for something different, there was nothing wrong with the setting though... I can count the number of times it's been off her finger for more than 5 minutes on one hand.
As long as it's a good setting, wear should not be a problem
