the ring doggstar: Can anyone offer me a guess as to why she wouldnot give me back the engagement ring? or why she wore one of my sweaters to court?
Re: the ring Spike: Mine won't give me the ring back either. It's a silver ring with my family crest on it, she seems to think it's ok to keep my family's name. I don't get it.
Re: the ring ionysis: My fiance gave me his great grandmothers engagement ring and the first thing I did when he called our wedding off was to give it back to him. I would have done the same had we been married 30 years. IMO the wife wears the ring as a symbol of her marriage/love. It still belongs to the husband and it should be given back at the end of the relationship - ESPECIALLY if it is her choice to end it.
My future MIL actually wrote to me thanking me for retuening the ring to her - WTF did she think I was going to do - sheesh, I was part of her family for four years and she thought I would keep her family heirloom?! How could she imagine I'd do that?
Of course if he had bought and paid for it and he'd cheated on me or otherwise acted like an a$$hole maybe I wouldn't have been so nice. But a family ring should always be returned IMO.
Re: the ring darkrose: I let mine keep hers.
The meaning of the rings have been totally lost on her and maybe (if she doesn't pawn it finance a trip for some random internet kid to come sleep with her) one day she'll look at it and remember what it was to be married, have friends, be financially stable, etc.
Re: the ring dsuser: After my ex precitipated the divorce by going to the bank (we were having fights and personality clashes we should have seen prior to the marriage) and taking 50% of the cash (but then she asked for more), I was sure she would never give the ring back... after all, she was in a craze to get as much cash as possible. She did not even give back some silk fabric my parents had given her as a gift that she never wore... some people are just out to hurt due to vengance.
If there had been cheating, or the sort... definitely a different story. I am over it now, but can imagine that if I needed some money too, it would have been a much more difficult situation.
