Engagement ring, as good as gone?

[t045tygh05t]

What is the name of your state? Virginia.

She broke off the engagement, and she kept the ring. For whatever it's worth, she has been with three other guys (that I know about) in the span of a few months, one of them during a "break" that she initiated and then didn't bother telling me about when we got back together. It seems rather premeditated on her part since the breakup, her sleeping with him, and my misinformed re-entry into the relationship all occurred within about a week and a half. I also have my doubts as to whether she is keeping the ring for sentimental value as she claims, given what I know of the infidelity issue. She happens to have a bit of a jewelry addiction, whereas I actually want the ring for sentimental reasons. We had a pre-existing agreement that if the engagement were to be broken off, I would make the ring into a necklace and wear it myself so that I would always remember her. Sappy, I know, but I still intend to follow through. I know that state laws vary on this matter, but I want to find whatever information I can that is specific to my state. Is it possible to get it back?

Hello Sappy,

Go ahead and put "engagement Ring" in the search function on the top bar.

There is a bunch of information on this very subject.

SHE broke off the engagement?

Then demand return of the ring. It is an offer in exchange for a "promise to marry". She is NOT entitled to keep it under these circumstances. If she refuses, file in small claims court, (depending on value).

In addition to that: DON'T WEAR IT AROUND YOUR NECK! If you do...the chances of you getting another GF will be slim at best, once she finds out that YOU CAN'T LET GO of your old love!!

Good advice from the shelllady, I once gave a Cavewoman [URL="An Engagement necklace"][URL="http://www.nightmarefactory.com/BB146.jpg"]An Engagement necklace[/URL][/URL], she threw it back in my face. I wore it for a few weeks.

Got nowhere with the other 4 women in the tribe till I took it off.

That's perfectly understandable, you can't help that you were born a woman.

AND YOU can't help that you were born a MAN (bad enough) who was also brought up to be disrespectful.

That is not accurate. I was brought up to be respectful and especially to woman.

But I was shown the error of my ways, and, hard as it was, I changed!

Yes agreed, it's all good, and thank God, I'm fortunate to be one of the lucky one's.
