Title: Do Women Need To Return Their Engagement Ring?
Post by tarantada on Jun 14^th, 2004, 9:30am

Do women really need to return their engagement ring to their BF?

When a couple broke up...Do women really need to return their engagement ring to their BF?

Tell us what u think ;)

Yep, you bet!

Technically....the engagement ring is a symbol of a contract that has yet to be entered into. Once married the contract is complete, and the ring is hers to keep. [smiley=deal2.gif]

But if the couple broke up before they got married, then the woman must give back the ring to the man. This has been proven in court many many times. [smiley=rose.gif]

Now if the dude did something to screw things up with her before they get married, then the woman might do something crazy with the ring (Like throw it in the Ocean or pawn it), and there isn't much that the guy can do to get it back.[smiley=catsmiley.gif]

THEY HAVE TO... if they don't want that their next bf will be the one to take it off from their finger... you don't want your next bf to remind him that you still love your ex don't you?

and if he's nowhere to be found... pawn it :P than throw it in the Ocean 8) ... it's the least i will do unless the ring will give me allergies because it's made from glass...hehe

Nope! unless he's ok with it then no need to return the ring.

Why should I? it was given to me, beside if you do return it what is he going to do with it? Give it to another gurl once he got engaged again? thats so cheap.

As for me if I'm a guy... I don't really care if and when the engagement is called-off.. Since I gave it to her.. then I guess it belongs to her

Anyway we all have different opinions.I kept mine and sold it...ahihihi ;D (joke)

mylene and ana..ur all business minded but then women generally.... once a relationships ends....its always a habit to return everything that is given by ur men except those eaten already...because...u dont want to keep anything that will remind you of him. Pawn any rings that you personally purchased and owned girls..hahaha!

In my case, i'll return it. Its a living reminder of broken promises!!! huhuhuhuhu

i agree...its not that easy to forget but part of woman's ego ...woman will return the item...men probably will say anything negative of keeping that ring, and it's not worth keeping.....ohh am i using my Pride here [smiley=spank.gif]

heck he took back the ring without even asking if i wanted to give it back!!! shit!!! ;D ;D... THe ring is a symbol of your love for each other... if you broke up who has the right to keep the ring? I think neither of you two should keep the ring. It should be disposed. ;)

I was reading somewhere on the Web recently that the J-Lo & Ben Affleck Engagement Ring was just recently put up for sale at Harry Winston Jewelers, the same place where Ben bought the Six-Carat Pink Diamond Ring for a reported 1.2 million dollars. The Ring is being sold for an undisclosed amount.

I asked a very close Gal-Pal of mine what she thought of the Ring. I was under the opinon that Every Gal would want that Ring because of the Famous couple. She responded with something that I didn't even think of.

She said that the ring, if it was purchased as an Engagement Ring for a New Bride would be considered as "Cursed..or have Bad Luck surrounding it". That shocked me! I NEVER even thought of that. I totaly see the reasoning. I guess it can only be bought as a present for a woman who is already married, and not as a first ring.

Here is a Pic of the J-Lo Diamond Ring...Very Nice!

I really believe in that Dalez ... and there is no harm if u take it as a warning wether its a CURSE or a BAD LUCK. If i am the girl why would i take the ring coming from a couple who broked up even if its popular and expensive? no way...i better prefer simple and cheap as long as it comes from a pawnshop ;D jk or a jewelry store originally designed. ;)

well, l agree wiff partner, its not belong to the gurl anymore once their engagement is off... but its not belong to the guy too.
in my case, l will surely give it back to him, l dont like after the relationship is off then they will say "ah she just want the money, what a material gurl"....
well mebbe my pride was talking very strong here, yea it is lol lol not even a ring, only small things if it was expensive and the guy want it back, then l will give it back surely.

As for the je-lo's ring...
an engagement meant alot, not because of the ring, but because of the commitment.
l dont believe on a bad luck or cursed or things like that, but that ring means for je-lo, Not for others. so l dont like the idea of buying others engagement ring, cuz it got no meaning. lol lol ;D ::) ;D

Well,for me,i don't accept engagement ring.I may accept a ring if it is given as present and not for an engagement.For me, a wedding ring will mean,show and reveal everything that you are made for each other.I dont like engagement ring,it's not because i don't want to be tied up.I just think it controls me in a sense that i am limited from doing everything because for me,once i am engaged,i know i must be very fair to my man and i don't think he would still allow me to be talking to other men especially if he knows the man isnt a friend.Or i dont think it is ok for him for me to be as "free as a bird flies".What if my feeling suddenly has changed when i met a guy whom i find much attraction and stronger feeling? I have this fear of some cases that even wedding has already planned,changes can still be possible to happen.It sucks to see myself engaged and being limited,controlled and even stopped from my full freedom.I would probably see ONLY myself engaged AFTER i have accepted a marriage proposal.

Hmmm....That's usually how it works....No? lol

You have the choice, and if you accept a Marrige proposal, then you accept all the responsibility that goes with being Engaged to ONLY one person.

If your not ready, or don't want to be engaged or married at that time in your life...then say "NO!" It's better to Him and to yourself if your honest and open about what you want.

LMAO. This reminds me of something I saw on TV a few weeks ago. Some Guy brought his GF to a Basketball game, and at Halftime he said he had to go to the bathroom. He left her sitting there and he had a plan to propose to her. He was put into a giant box that looked like a present, and they pushed the box out onto the court, and then someone from the Arena grabed the Gal and brought her out next to the box. BOING!! Out pops the guy with a ring...and he gets down on one knee in front of all the fans. The Gal had this look of HORROR on her face, she shook her head NOOOOOO! And ran out of the Arena! The Guy was REJECTED! Ohhh...I laughed sooo hard I nearly fell off the sofa. Poor Dude...but clearly she wasn't ready or didn't want to marry this Guy. ::)

See...everyone has a choice. ;D

Exactly Dale,I dont want to take ring to get engaged or just to have something to display on my finger and show that i got someone for me or someone already has gotten me, when infact,we still never know what's gonna happen after a period of engagement.When i love, i am honest,i am very willing to sacrifice,contribute effort for the goodness of the said relationship But again, I dont want to see myslef as if i am limited,trapped,controlled by the relationship as long as i know i am not doing betrayals or deceiving my man by having another man. ;)

Saffire,

Wait a Sec...I am Confused. I always thought that when a Gal wears a Diamond engagement ring on her right hand ring finger, it meant that she was Engaged, and when she wears it on her left hand ring finger. It means that she is married. At least that's what it means around here.

So....Which one best fits you? Just Wonderin' Ehh! LOL ;D

Title: Re: Do Women Need To Return Their Engagement Ring?
Post by Saffire_65 on Jun 18^th, 2005, 8:13pm

Well i'm confused too. When he proposed me he took my left hand and put the ring on my left finger. So how the hell should i know which side is the right one. sheesh does that matter, left or right? oh well if thats the case i'l place the ring on my toe then. hmmm its looks good there hehehehe ;D

If its my fault we broke up, I need to give it back for "delicadeza" reason. If he screwed up on me, I get to keep it. >:(I'll put it somewhere visible like my bedside table together with his picture and I'll put a curse on it till the pain and the hurt subsided. [smiley=huepfend003.gif] Take this... [smiley=firejump.gif]..and that.. [smiley=huepfend003.gif]. How dare you! [smiley=huepfend003.gif]
