What do you think of a girl who keeps an engagement ring which she got from her ex-boyfriend?
Is it normal to still keep it?
Or she should give it back to him or he should get it back from her? Maybe either one should sell it?

She should by all means give back the ring to the boyfriend who bought it .

If its a diamond ring, she would have a hard time arguing that its not an engagement ring. Relationships end and though he ended up with his ex wife, it doesn't mean that she wasn't a contributor to this bad relationship (being an alcoholic). None of this matters though because she isn't going to wear another guy's engagement ring, she is only keeping it so that she can sell it or use the diamond for an engagement ring with you. Either way, she is keeping it because she is angry with him. I think he'd win in court, because it is a conditional "gift," so to speak. The engagement was broken so the ring should be returned. You wouldn't want someone to do this to you, even if you broke off the engagement.

Its my belief that it depends on who calls off the engagement, if the ex-boyfriend called it off than the ring is fare game for the girl to have because she has made promise to marry, and she did not break that promise and therefor has kept up her end of the deal which is what the ring represents. If the girl calls off the engagement than the girl should surrender the ring back because she was unable to keep the promise that the ring represented. If its call off by both of them they should split the value of the ring down the middle. To me this seems like the most logical and morally correct approach.

if the guy broke off the engagement then the ring is the girl's to keep or sell or what ever she wants. If the girl broke off the engagement then she is obligated to return the ring. A diamond is a diamond, if she is entitled to it, why shouldn't she keep it. Stop being jealous of jewlery if you are go out and buy her somethng bigger and better and more expensive and she will forget all about that ring.

i don't think there is something wrong with keeping an engagement ring.. giving it back to the ex-boyfriend is a little bit bitter and terrible. what do you expect for the ex to do with that ring also?
the ring is hers, whatever happens it's upto her what she wants to do with that. remember that it is part of her past and you were not part of it. just deal with what is in the present... and the other girl is right with her answer. there is such thing called trust...

If you are in a new relationship you shouldn't keep an ex's ring. You have to let go of the past and embrace what is ahead. Sell it!!!

yes it's OK to keep a ring from your ex if he broke up with you than you keep it and if you break up with him you are supposed to give back the ring but if he doesn't want it back then keep it who is he going to give it to

If you were not married the ring is usually returned. If not it is a really good sign that you did the right thing and DID NOT marry a person who is so materialistic

She must return it if she broke off the engagement...
He could probably sue her for it and win...
If he broke off the engagement, let her conscience be her guide.

She should give it back to him. It was a gift from him, true, but highly symbolic, of a bond that no longer exists.
