Find answers to your legal question.





Do you give back an engagement ring if HE called the engagement off?

I didn't cheat or anything. We were just in a petty fight and he was done. I gave it back but my mom was telling me that I should have kept it. This was 2 months ago.

You should keep it - it is a gift to you.

Why keep it if you two were over? The only thing you could have really done with it was sold it, which is probably what he did. My mom has mine. I told her to sell it because I wanted nothing to do with it or its memories. I tired to give it back to him that day, but he said keep it.

I agree with babeheart

if he calls the engagement off, why would you want to keep anything of him??? you did the right thing...

Ettiquette calls for the lady to return the ring even if it is worth a million dollars. It was the proper thing to do, congratulations. and if he "threw in the towel" after such a petty argument do you really want that kind of a woos for a husband?


sexyexotik
if it cost a lot i would of kept it and pond it if he didnt ask for it back lol

You could have kept it since he called it off, but if you didn't want to, then you did the right thing.


Fo Sho!
Why keep it? It would have only sat around as a bad reminder. I think it was best you gave it back.

Hell no you put in your time I would have kept it then brought to a pawn shop after a year.

Depends on what the fight was about or how wrong he was. Why would you want to keep anything sentimental about him anyways?

In most states it is considered a gift...you get to keep it!!

why would you want it back after 2 months? It's over let him keep the ring.

NO you don't keep it if it's off...you shouldn't want to keep it if it is off unless you're a gold digger


♥Šωèé†íé♥
You should've kept it but then again maybe you wouldn't want a token to remind you of him.

Depends. If you felt like with that ring you were keeping a connection with him that you didn't want then yes you should have given it back. Otherwise you should've sold that baby.


scary mary
I would have kept it.


angela_hauff
No because it was a gift to You. Has been held up in court cases. That once the gift was given it couldn't be taken back unless offered back by the person who the gift was given.

If you call off the engagement, then you should give the ring back. If HE called it off then the ring is yours!

No he did not you, so don't give it back and also don't let him talk you into...That was a gift and years of your life that you can't get back, so I say no other people may feel differently!


BabeHart
You weren't obligated to return it...but since you did, let it go and move on.

give it back, keeping it is petty


Allison, aka Nice Lady
Just give him the ring back. What would be the point in keeping it except spite?

EDIT I hate to invoke Judge Judy, but she says "an engagement ring is not a gift like other gifts - it is given as part of the contract of marriage. If the contract is not completed, the ring goes back.

I totally agree.


Princess A
No. I will sell it and get something else I like.
