Putting that glove on and off would be a pain in the neck. My suggestion is get the ruler guards and keep your fingers behind them. They're easy to apply. Also, if you keep your pinkie just off the back edge of the ruler (providing it's no bigger than 6 1/2", that not only keeps your fingers out of the way, but also stablizes your ruler so it doesn't move around. Sorry you hurt yourself. Does it get you out of dishes?
