Lucky555 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 If a guy and a girl were broken up for three years and she still has the engagement ring what would you think? They are not dating/have dated other people/they still keep in contact. I know of a situation, its not mine but I'm curious
Thaddeus Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Depends who initiated the break-up. If the guy did, then the girl should be able to keep the ring. If the girl did, she should give the ring back to the guy.

Author Lucky555 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Posted July 25, 2009 she broke it off, still has the ring, i guess she tried to give it back but he didn't want it back, his statement "what was he going to do with it?"...odd i know
BUENG1 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 If a guy and a girl were broken up for three years and she still has the engagement ring what would you think? They are not dating/have dated other people/they still keep in contact. I know of a situation, its not mine but I'm curious Well legally its whatever the judge decides. The ring is a conditional gift(conditional on marriage) so if marriage doesn't take place it goes back to who gave it.
Trialbyfire Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Lucky, everyone is right. It's reliant on your jurisdiction and also, the courts. If I were your friend, I would email him and ask him if he wants it back. If he refuses it in writing, she's got something to fall back on, in case he decides to legally pursue this, in future. If he wants it back, that's his call to make.
utterer of lies Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 If a guy and a girl were broken up for three years and she still has the engagement ring what would you think? They are not dating/have dated other people/they still keep in contact. I know of a situation, its not mine but I'm curious Demanding presents back is cheap and not honorable. He should just be man enough and accept that he gave it as a present, so it's hers now.
Author Lucky555 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Posted July 25, 2009 I think she should give it back to him. I think he should have the ring since she broke it off. However, she is still pursing him and he only wants to be friends. So i think she is purposely keeping it, even though he said he didn't want it, it should be his.
carhill Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 I'm aware of tradition and would choose to follow it, but, regardless, I would consider the ring as my investment in tuition at Relationship U and just be thankful it wasn't a student loan

I'm actually a bit shocked that many people think it's ok to demand the ring back. Ok, if she wants to give it back (for closure or whatever), no problem, but if she wants to keep it, it's hers!
