Today, my fiance told me that he no longer loves me, that he still has feelings for an ex. The wedding is off and he needs the ring back to give to the right woman. FML

Re #6: Yeah, but she isn't the one who is breaking the promise to get married! He did! I'm a law student, and there is no consensus amongst courts as to what to do when an engagement is broken off. Some jurisdictions say that no matter what, the man gets the ring back since he bought it. Others say the one who didn't break off the engagement, is the one who keeps the ring, since it was a gift conditioned on a marriage occurring. Other courts say it's an inter vivos gift made to the woman and doesn't have to be returned. I say do the research and find out what your jurisdiction says. If they say you can keep the ring, I say screw him and keep it/pawn it. Furthermore, I believe the Emily Post approach is if you are a girl who breaks off an engagement, you return the ring. If he breaks it off, you keep the ring. Why make his life any easier? Sell the damn thing and treat yourself to a vacation so you can forget that loser. With time, you'll see he did you a huge favor that he revealed his true nature now, instead of down the line. I wish you the best of luck. God bless.

if you can, find out who the ex is, and ask her to give it to him as a favor. Hahaha.

That's just depressing. I dont' come here to be depressed. However, I'm in the school of thinking that at least he didn't lie to you, and marry you while feeling that way for someone else. Would you have felt better if you'd been together a year and gotten pregnant? Oh, but keep the ring - that's just taking the piss :P

Sorry he turned out to be such an ass! I'm totally with #51 and #52! If you won't get into trouble with the law, pawn it. If you're not strapped for cash and can do it, stuff it away for a (different) rainy day. Good luck, hon!

I'd tell the other woman that he gave her a ring that he had originally proposed to you with. She would be none too happy. I remember when a sort of friend of mine was dating my ex, and she showed me these letters he had written her, and they were carbon copies of what he'd written me! NOT happy.

the ring was conditional upon marriage but because you were not the one to break the engagement most courts would say that you get to keep the ring. if you think of it in terms of a contract he breached the contract and you dont have to give it back. I would pawn it and go on a vacation. Have a good time and meet someone cute. he'll be a distant memory when you an Jose Quervo are together.

Very sorry about that. You will surely find another man. One who actually loves YOU.
