Loss of value on engagement ring

Kay_Gee

Some of you know I split from my controlling fiance. I've given him the ring back. He e-mailed me today saying that he has spoken with some legal advice service and because the ring is now worth less I'm liable for the difference.

He is asking £250 as apparently thats the difference between what he paid and whats been offered and because I cancelled everything I am liable.Is he right? Am I liable for this shortfall.

He also said I am liable to give him his contribution back to wedding costs. As I paid for everything he surely isn't expecting me to give him half of nothing!

Block his emails.

Ignore him. It's part of his attempts to keep control.

Remember that bit mentioned about not allowing contact? This is why.

He can farq right off. Ignore him.

An engagement ring is gift. It's yours - he should be grateful you gave it back.

Yet another attempt to control you.... ignore the waste of space.

Lucky escape.

What a knob.
You don't owe him. Full stop.

Where did your other post go?

Tell him he owes you for the time you wasted on him. Strangely, it's the same amount that he says you owe him !

You dodged a bullet there, he sounds deranged. I bet he is the sort that would have drew up a pre-nup also.

Tell him to get lost, what a cheek!

Thank you for confirming I don't owe anything. People told me I was allowed to keep the ring as it was given as a gift for marriage but then I thought he could get it back and leave me alone.

Of course 'll be blocking his e-mails. I've already submitted a request to IT as it was on my work e-mail address.

A board guide deleted it because of some of the posts.
