Selling engagement ring

Presents don't have usually have anything attached to them. An engagement ring isn't just a pretty present, it's a promise to marry, and they didnt, so the ring should be returned.

I find it quite disconcerting that someone would even consider keeping it.

But she kept her side of the promise - he didn't. Does that not make a difference?

I've been engaged three times. The first two broke up because my exes were openly cheating. The first ring I lost- it fell off my finger just before the breakup so my ex said fine, it was just a cheap one, he wasn't bothered about it. I had an engagement and an eternity ring the second and third times- I asked my ex the second time what he wanted me to do with it. He said I could sell it if I wanted but he didn't want it back so it was mine to do what I wanted with- I took it back to the pawn shop it had been bought from. I often wonder if some other poor sucker has it and if it brought them as much bad luck as it did me.. And whether the first owner also had bad luck! I have to admit the third time I sold the engagement and eternity rings, the £350 watch and the mobile phone he bought me. He asked me for the ring back a couple of times but I ignored him. He wasn't cheating but it was a long, traumatic break up and he did something unforgiveable in that time so far as I was concerned that was my payback.
In this day and age the old betrothal business is a load of twaddle personally and I think if the woman has been wronged then it should be her right to avenge it by disposing of the ring however she sees fit.
