Engagement Failure

[bluecar]

1. If you were engaged and it fell through, would you attempt to get the ring back?
2. If you got it back, what would you do with it?

-------------

1. Yes
2. Use it on the next girl. Jewelry is homogenous.

[IDSkot]

1. Hell yeah I would.
2. Depending on my financial situation, either sell it or keep it, just in case.

Believe it or not, there are set rules to this. If you broke it off, she keeps the ring, if she broke it off, she must give the ring back.

Depends on why it was broken off. If she cheated, sell it. If you cheated, sell it. If just something happened or she couldn't go through with it....just keep it.

[IamDeMan]

No I wouldn't. It's a lesson learned but the ring was bought for her. It wouldn't be worth the hassle. If she gave it back, good, if not, then I just walk on with my loss. If she was important enough to buy a ring for then the ring is the least of the problem when it fails.

[bluecar]

I guess I am alone on the re-gifting of the ring to the next one.

[cpierce]

1. Yes
2. Sell it and use the money on hookers :fyi:

[Pop Da Hatch]

Dont get married.............

[CodenameTBB]

When I was engaged to one of my ex's, I tried to get the ring back and she wouldn't give it to me and said it was a gift. Well she was the one that cheated on me and I just couldn't grasp it all. I spent a good 2g's on this ring like a dumbass too!

In the end, she got to keep it and I just learned a important lesson...........kinda. Just don't spend that much on the next one, lol!

Was to much a headache to get it back the legal way. Would have just cost me more money in the long run with lawyers and what not till I sold the ring.

No. Go down the clerk's office and find out which local lawyers have just gone through a divorce themselves. Then you go to one of those guys and, because he is so pissed at his ex, he agrees to represent you for free.

Oh. Noted.
Who made up these rules? They make sense, though.

[Volpone]

1. Yes, I would get it back.

2. I would sell it and never get married again.

Then again, I don't intend to get engaged or married the first time.

[Toasted1]

1. No, I consider a few grand spent on a chick a great investment if it allowed me to escape having to go through a divorce and probably being away from my kid.

2. If she just gave it back I would probably spend it on weed and strippers.

Even more so if a chick does not want to give it back you know you made the right decision because if I had a pussy and some dude bought me a ring and we broke it off I don't see why there would be an issue giving it back unless I was a money grubbing whore.

plus 1 for you.


I agree, you can feel certain that you dodges a bullet.

[Hairyballzonya]

I would get the ring back and pawn it like everyone else, or save it for the next girl.

[ngsm13]

Dont get married.............

This.

[hoss]

I agree with pl8ers rules for who keeps the ring... Unless it is a unanimous and shared feeling that you can have the ring back.

Either way though, I would not keep it... I would want nothing to remind me of that person and that event, and if you even attempted to give it to another girl and she found out, it wouldnt go well at all...

I have possessions from relationships all through my house. Just because the person is gone doesn't mean I should toss out all the stuff that reminds me of them.

Agreed on the second part. I'd suppose you'd have to modify it a bit...most all jewelry looks the same to me so I doubt I could tell the difference. Hell, I can't tell the difference between a diamond and a busted coke bottle.

[hoss]

Perhaps I am different. Or perhaps I have never really had a relationship end amicably... But for me personally, I do everything it takes to sever all ties and just rid myself of that person, at least for an extended time period...

I do not believe that people can go from being in a relationship or having a set way of behaving or feeling, and then drop that and go into a "friend" routine. It does not happen for me, and I think others who say they can do it are lying or in denial. This of course is just my oppinion... But I rid myself of any past relationship materials or memories.

Mind don't either. But I am the relationship "ender". I get in a relationship for a specific reason, to gain experience in a certain area, and then when I have said experience, I end the relationship.

I wouldn't say they are lying or denial. They are in better control of their emotions, and perhaps they do not put so much of themselves in the relationship to begin with. I don't see myself being so committed in a relationship where if she left/cheated etc I would be blindsided. I go into the relationship fully cognizant of the risk of adverse selection. Thus, I am prepared when things go sour.

I can rid the emotional/mental baggage without ridding of physical items.\

Way to take it like a man flip instead of a whinny pussy.

[evildave101]

the first time i was engaged, it didnt work out. it was a mutual thing(we were young), she gave the ring back, i still have it. we are still friends

[UCP]

Give it to her then, let her keep instead of cuddling and crying yourself to sleep with it every night.

Weirdo

Shhhhh, you hear that? It's Hallmark knocking on your door wanting you to write cards for them.

Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free.


Something my dad always told me. Honestly, too bad you just can't go get the milk at the supermarket and call it a day.

Well you can. The market is in bad neighborhoods and the milk isn't pasteurized.

[Spider Monkey]

Yes. The ring is a gift upon the terms of being a wife. No wife, no ring.

Sell it.

Shane Co gives you a 'receipt of value' upon purchase. You have an infinate return/exchange option.
