Give the ring back. I would have singed it. I plan to when I hit the six figure mark!

If he doesn't ask for it keep it. If he does, give it back. It may not be worth (keeping) it because you never know what kind of trouble it will cause if he is very adamant that he wants it back. And honestly what do you really want it for, to say you were engaged once? Who cares the right man will come along who doesn't mind signing a prenup because he loves you, not what he stands to gain if the marriage should fail.

If he doesn't want to marry you then you shouldn't keep the ring. He doesn't want a prenup? You did the right thing by asking for one but if he won't sign one then you are better off without him. If there wasn't a reason why he wouldn't sign it. God is just showing you that he isn't the one for you and that HE has someone better for you. God bless you

Give him back the ring. What do you want it for if his intentions weren't pure enough to sign a prenup? It will bring you bad memories as well as bad karma. You can't properly move on to the next relationship when you still have remnants of the old.

Good for you to protect yourself in advance! Really! In all honesty, though it may not seem that way, engagement and an engagement ring is viewed in the courts as a gift based on a promise (that promise is to marry). If the promise is broken, and the marriage should not take place, the ring should be returned to it's original owner. How would I know this? I actually sued an ex-fiance in a court and won based on this reasoning.

Legally, the ring is his. It was given in return for a promise to marry. Do the right thing and give it back.

Common courtesy protocol for any broken engagement is for the woman to return the ring to the man. Sorry.

Since you were the one with the prenup, Mrs. Manners says you give it back.
I need YOU to decide for yourself, was it you that put the brakes on the marriage or him, that FOR ME is the determining factor.
Sorry things didn't work out for you. (I am available if you need a shoulder to cry on, you know, if, well, okay, that's rude, I'm sorry)
Hope you get something out of my answer (and hopefully a laugh)

i'm sorry to hear of your cancelled plans for marriage.
as for the ring-what would it have said in your prenup? would you have kept it if things had gone according to your plan if you had a prenup?
be honest with yourself-and him..and act accordingly.

ummm i think technically the ring is a gift but why would you want a symbol of a failed relationship? if you are so wealthy that you need a prenup signed, go buy your own ring

Give the ring back. I saw on Judge Judy once that the ring is a promise of engagement & now that the engagement is off, you should give it back.
