Together for 5 years, engaged 6 months, then broke up. There is no chance of reconciliation. Although I was the one who made it clear we werent working, the break-up was mutual and he's the one who ultimately approached me about leaving. I have the ring and he hasnt asked for it back or even mentioned it; but I think that's because he assumes I will keep it forever as a momento or something. We have a child together and are still attempting to be friends, so I dont think telling him I sold the ring would help keep us civil - however - I really need the money. And I dont need the ring.
Do you think it would be wrong of me to sell it, and if not, what do you think is the proper time period to wait to do such? And should I tell him straight out? I'm conflicted.

Yes I believe it is an extremely poor taste to sell the ring...you should either keep it and reset it or return it your ex...if you choose to sell it discuss it with him first...do not sell it behind his back...

You should give him back the ring and talk with him about helping you with your financial situation for your childs sake. An engagement ring is not a gift, it is given with the expectation of marriage. If that "contract" is broken, then the ring must be given back. Do some research on court cases, if you do not agree with me.

i think selling the ring period is worng even tho yall arent together i dont think you need to do that and if thats how you feel like you dont need always remember that he loves you and you love him there no way yall ever got over each other ,, i think you should keep it you dont need to wear it but to let him know that you still have it shows that you care.

law says that when you got engaged, he made a promise that he will marry you. thats legally binding. but if HE broke up with you, you keep the ring because he couldnt keep his promise. whatever you do with the ring is none of his business anymore. so hope that will financially help you and your kid.

Little does the world know that an engagement ring is a GIFT and it does not have to be returned ever.
So it's yours to do with what you will.

Well, legally the ring belongs to you and there is no set time for selling it.
