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.

No idea on what to do with the ring. He should have told you sooner.

I really hope you didn't give back the ring. In my books the person who gets dumped should keep the ring. Unless of course they got dumped because they cheated.

Go check the law in your state (or country if you arent in the US) for this situation. Some states actually have a "no fault" clause with this very situation, and he gets the ring back no matter what. If the law is on your side, pawn it and spend the money on something. No sense keeping something attached to bad memories.

Unwritten rule: If YOU break the engagement, you give the ring back to him. If HE breaks the engagement, he forfeits the ring, and the fiancé can do with it as she wishes.
