Author FeelingLonely98 Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 If the guy gave the ring and breeched the agreement, the girl keeps the ring. If the girl breeched the agreement, she gives it back. EXACTLY - Why doesn't the whole world see that? Link to post Share on other sites
JaneDoe35 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I am still wearing my rings. But I asked my husband if he could give his to me so I can keep them all together when I remove mine. He refuses and says it is in a safe place. I want it, it means something to me. I can't really explain it........ Link to post Share on other sites
2.50 a gallon Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 When we broke up the XW had removed hers when she came by to pick up her things. I didn't ask about it at that time. A month later when she began to try and reconcile she was again wearing it. I tried to talk her into giving it to me, but her reply was we were still married. The few times we crossed paths again, it was still on her finger, and she kept maintaining we were still married, and was not going to give it up until there was a divorce. She knew it was a sore spot with me, as I still owed thousands for it. Don't know what happened to it. fp Did I read that one post right, you are now dating and have gone out with 3 women?

Author FeelingLonely98 Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Did I read that one post right, you are now dating and have gone out with 3 women? Gallon Yes, and the third one is incredible. I am going to try to slowly see what happens there. I really like her. If nothing else this helps to completely erase you-know-who out of my system... It's All Good. Link to post Share on other sites

Author FeelingLonely98 Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 FL98 Hot Damn! The silver tongued devil of college days returns. Ha!! Very funny ... you're a cool dude Gallon! It is amazing what a pretty face smiling back at you can do. It is a bright and sunny day. Sorry to say the smiling face is not a cure all, the roller coaster ride is not over. I don't know Gallon. Even before this new gal - I felt the peaks and valleys were much less intense. And She is now smoothing everything out. Follow you own advice and take it slow, for now just have fun, and enjoy life Gallon Slow is cool for me - and best of all SHE is cool with that too. Link to post Share on other sites
phineas Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) when I caught her sending nude pics to her boyfriend & I was cold to her she put on the drama & told me "I didn't even care" then threw the ring at me. She moved out that day. far as i'm concerned she didn't want it anymore & gave it back. Plus, she cheated. She broke her vows. The ring was the signiture for those vows when we placed them on our fingers. I paid for them. Their mine. When divorce is final I plan on seeing what the jeweler can give me for it along with my band. If I can get half back I can buy a nice flat panel TV.

GoodDad Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Mmmmm...Flat panel HD-TV... I am such a geek. I want a new TV too. I have an older LCD, but its just 1080i and I definitely get "resolution envy" when I visit friends with newer TV's. Maybe next year if things calm down a bit. But enjoy the new TV FL98! And thats the best use of a thrown in the face engagement ring I can think of Phineas. I say GO for it! GD Link to post Share on other sites
alphamale Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Anyways, thoughts? i don't know....i bought my ex-old lady's diamond engagment ring in 1993 for like $2,000. I requested it back when we divorced. I still have it. Should I sell it? I would probably only get like $500 for it now. Link to post Share on other sites
phineas Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 If I can get $600 thats a 42" HDTV. Or a 52" with some of my own money. Link to post Share on other sites
JLoves Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Today she is moving into her rental.. Only a month after leaving. To reduce the (my) pain, I've been packing all her stuff and even helping her move the larger stuff that she made a list of. For some reason she expected me to let her come into the house while I was away on holiday with the kids next week.. I think not.. I came across her wedding ring and engagement ring.. Sod it, I'll keep those in case she decided to come back.... or if not... Wonder if she will notice. (she took her wedding ring off because she slimmed down.. of course most people put them on a chain when that happens) I want a new tv too... Link to post Share on other sites
curiou Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 When I finally truly decided to end it with my first marriage years ago, I threw out the wedding album. It was weirdly a big step, and for some reason made me feel better. Perhaps I had gotten to a point where I was strong enough to not care (enough) to keep it. I would say sell any rings you get back but I think the return would be a fraction of the original cost. What to do, what to do. Link to post Share on other sites

A diamond that is worth 2000 15 years ago is now worth 500? Does the price of diamonds fluctuate that wildly and are we in a very DOWN market? Or do jewlers inflate like 4-5 times the real value of the stones? Link to post Share on other sites
sumdude Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 What am I missing here? A diamond that is worth 2000 15 years ago is now worth 500? Does the price of diamonds fluctuate that wildly and are we in a very DOWN market? Or do jewlers inflate like 4-5 times the real value of the stones? Like I said before I recouped close to 80% of the original price of the diamond by putting the stone up on consignment. This was even after the commission so I did pretty well. You just have to be willing to wait for it to sell. If you want the money quickly then you're at pawnshops getting maybe 30% of the value at best. The stone can sit for a long time before they sell. I didn't have the patience or time to try to sell it on my own so it made the most sense to do what I did. Link to post Share on other sites
