YEP! Without question, then if the person wants you to keep it , fair enough.

If it was a gift, no. If it was only an engagement ring, yes, no matter who broke it off. Consider it a blessing that you found out what kind of a person he is before you married. That said, I really don't think it's worth the hassle to keep it. If he's going to be so immature, be the adult and just let him have his little ring back. Why would you want it? Besides, if he decides to take it to small claims court, you'll have to prove it was a gift, which would be difficult. Who wants the hassle? P.S.- If I may make a suggestion, in the future, don't accept a marriage proposal until you're truly ready to get married.

Many years ago when my 1st husband left ,I was extremely poor and desperately needed some money as Christmas was coming and I had 2 daughters. Locally,there was a 'gold/silver' sale and I took my rings to sell them. With the money ,I bought my girls some 'real' gold earrings.They thought they were the luckiest kids !! I don't ever regret selling those rings and would never have thought of returning them

I think that an engagement ring should be a sort of gift, a token of love, once you give it to somebody else and they accept it, it is thiers. This goes for any situation, woman proposing to a man, man proposing to a woman, two women, two men, etc, etc.
But that's just my opinion.
Also, I'm a lesbian. Not just saying this because I'm a girl. I might very well be the one to buy the ring someday.

Yes of course the woman should return the engagement ring if they split from their fiance. If I was engaged & split up I'd be desperate to get rid of the ring as it would symbolise the relationship & be a constant reminder of what went wrong!

I pawned my ex fiance`s engagement ring, but we ended very maliciously. If he hadn't`t treated me the way he did and told me he`d "lost" the ring I gave him I would have been more pleasant & returned it to him so he could do what he wanted with it.
I wouldn`t be chuffed if my man kept a ring given by an ex, my jelously would either force him to part with it, or i`d perform a dissapearing act on it when he wasn`t looking.
The couple in the article AGREED that it should be returned, so I understand he`s upset, and quite right too.

I think if the man breaks the engagement then she should keep the ring. However if he breaks it off because she was cheating or because she had done something totally unacceptable to the relationship then I think she should return the ring.

A gift's a gift. Never give one unless you're prepared to lose it forever.
Most people should be mature enough to see a broken relationship as just that and not a 'contract'. Also if you spend silly money on an engagement ring then you're just that. Silly.

Just do the honerable and right thing. Engagement is a promise, if it gets broken return the engagement gift.
I couldn't live with myself keeping someting like that.

Yes, absolutely. I had a broken engagement and wouldn't have wanted the ring anyway, no matter how much it was worth and regardless of who broke it off.

I think if the man breaks it off the lady should keep the ring .
If the lady breaks it off the man should have it back if he wants too ,
That way i think its fair
