Who get's the engagement ring?

[Buttaflyy]

Doesn't take a genius to figure that one out.

 

Even a Headless Zebra can eh?!

[a4a]

So Boys and Girls what lesson can we draw from Roosters bad experience?

 

 

Expensive jewelry should never be given unless you absolutley never expect to get it back?

 

Rooster I hope you do get it back, but in the long run it is really worth it to continue any form of contact to get it back?

 

I am on your side as well, but some battles just are not worth it.

 

 

The best gift you could give yourself is to close the door on her completely.

 

Where would she have sold it at if she did?

Hell NO! A4a are you running a fever? Do not start promoting that we shouldn't be bought expensive jewels!? You never know who's lurking around LS.

 

You think he should walk away from 11 grand and leave it with the skank?

 

If she sold it, sue her!

True. But nothing says, we are NOT getting back together like a lawsuit!

[Art_Critic]

True. But nothing says, we are NOT getting back together like a lawsuit!

 

When I separated from my now ExW I took my wedding ring/band that I wore and smashed it with a 16 lb sledge hammer flat as a pancake.. the diamond chips went everywhere and then I handed it to her.

 

Her face was priceless

 

I wanted to show her that it wasn't going back on my hand.

 

So to me nothing says we are not getting back together like a flattened wedding band..

I would pay so much money for a video of that.

If he wins in court and she cannot pay then what? This could drag on and on over a ring. 11 grand is the retail price of the ring.. what is the appraised value and replacement value? Oh don't forget emotional distress sue for that too.

 

I would leave it be. Not worth going through all that crap for making a poor decision to give a unworthy person a nice ring.

 

Dudes..... don't chuck out that much bling $ until after you put some miles on the bitch and make sure she earns it! :lmao: (there, how is that for advice to potential lurking jewelry purchasers)

[a4a]

True. But nothing says, we are NOT getting back together like a lawsuit!

 

I went down that road with a house I BOUGHT! Then left the crap dragged out for so long..... it was not worth it to get the money out after the sale.

 

Of course if I would have manipulated the situation instead of a court battle I probably would have ended up with more cash and less headaches.

 

But for 11 grand I don't know if I would be willing to put that much effort into forcing the skank to pay up. She will get hers down the road.

[HeadlessZebra]

I would leave it be. Not worth going through all that crap for making a poor decision to give a unworthy person a nice ring.

 

DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS BUFFOON

 

It is totally worth 11 grand! And totally worth it to teach her a lesson! What, are you just going to give up and wear the pu$sy bitch sign? I SAY NAY!!!

 

It will give you closure and a sense of righting a wrong when you see that glistening, expensive-a$s ring back in your hand, where it should never have left from in the first place! A symbolic stitching-the-rips, if you will.

[a4a]

How much is the ring really worth...... are you going to pawn it, ebay it, sell it in the paper?...... what are you going to get for it 7 grand max? If that?

 

I don't think she will learn a lesson regardless. Rooster may feel better but she is not going to be hurt by this. She is not going to learn one damn thing but just think she had even more reason to cheat on him.

 

If you really need or want the money, do it. But if it is about teaching her a lesson - your efforts are going to be wasted.

[HeadlessZebra]

what are you going to get for it 7 grand max? If that?

 

Well, if some of you are so rich that $7000 is pocket change and not worth going to court over, I'll tell you what. I sure could use 7K right now. I need money to move out of this apartment, I need money to buy a car, I need money to pay off my credit cards, and I need money for a nylon-string guitar. In that order. So it saddens me that the money some affluent Americans throw away and couldn't care less about is enough to feed impoverished people like me for a year.

 

So if you had any sort of conscience, you would sue her and send me the money if it means that little to you.

 

What a friggin waste.

[Buttaflyy]

I can go for this! I'd like to add that if she is interested in marrying you it won't matter anyway. I know I'd be willing to wait for the anniversary for the "real" thing. J/K

[CaliGuy]

Rooster, get the ring back NOW before she sells it....

 

I tend agree with TanBark. Hike 'em up and go get your ring back.

[alphamale]

So Boys and Girls what lesson can we draw from Roosters bad experience?

That Rooster's judgement of females leaves much to be desired

 

my dad game my mom a 2 carat diamond ring that was worth around 20K but that wasn't until they'd been married for two decades and after she gave him 3 sons.

[dgiirl]

It depends. Lawyer fees can EASILY add up if it's dragged out through court. My divorce was 4K on my side alone, (i think 2-3k on his side, the bastard) and that was where my exh and I didnt fight over ANYTHING, atleast not involving the lawyers. So yah, you gotta think how much it will cost to get it back.

[Rooster_DAR]

That Rooster's judgement of females leaves much to be desired

 

And so I've learned....!

 

I don't think she will learn a lesson regardless. Rooster may feel better but she is not going to be hurt by this. She is not going to learn one damn thing but just think she had even more reason to cheat on him.

 

If you really need or want the money, do it. But if it is about teaching her a lesson - your efforts are going to be wasted.

 

I have thought about this over and over again, but the fact that she has insulted me and took complete advantage of me, why is it going to matter WTF she thinks, at least I'll still be getting my rock back.

 

Could she possibly have a drug or addiction problem? Spending 35K in such a short amount would indicate a serious problem. .

 

She hates drugs and drinking, she is a very clean clear record kind of girl. She has the best credit I've ever seen in my life (At least before all this crap).

 

If you really need or want the money, do it. But if it is about teaching her a lesson - your efforts are going to be wasted.

 

The absolute truth! This ring belongs to someone who deserves it, and hold to it's true intention of commitment. I will fight till the death for that morale alone, and that ring will go on the right lady's finger someday.

 

And no, I am not hurting for money dude.

 

Thanks

I just got a subpoena yesterday... my fiance is suing me for $4500 for the engagement ring that I did not return. He never asked for it back, I left him the house, thought it was fair. But anyway... I am just going to give him the ring, what do I want it for???

 

My suggestion is... take her to small claims court- I think the most you can ask for is $5000.00 but, as in my case, I am just going to give the ring back. If she doesn't want to give you the ring then she can give you the $5000.00 so you are not totally out.

 

Heres my question to you (and I am not being b*tchy)... what are you going to do with the ring? In my case, I feel this is his last attempt to "get me" and I can't imagine what he will do with the ring or why he would want it back... but as I said, I don't want it so I will bring it to court with me and give it to him.

 

So that's my suggestion... small claims court, no lawyers needed, you get the ring or some cash... you can't lose.

I'd think he wanted it back because, he bought it with the intent to marry you (her) and since that's not gonna happen why let you (her) keep something so valuable?

 

It's not just a regular piece of expensive jewelry it signifies a promise, or a broken promise and because of that it should be returned, or at the very least offered for return.

Ownership...Whoever rightfully owns the ring ( be it the guy or the girl ) should have it.. for whatever reason..

 

If I own something of value I most certainly wouldn't just let someone keep it.

 

If you let someone have a second car of yours to drive and the deal is that they are going to buy it from you but in the end after they have had it a while they decide not to..

Would you let them just keep the car because they happen to be using it?

Rooster I like you but that is tacky IMHO. You do not give a ring to another woman that another woman rejected. Kinda like regifting but with way more emotional strings attached. If it was a family heirloom maybe but I just don't think it seems right to do this. Besides another woman may not like the style one bit...... and the ring has emotional ties with it through your own brain.

 

Maybe trade it in on another or ebay it.

[dropdeadlegs]

$11,000 ring? I'd probably wear it even if someone had it before me. But I'm really NOT about the ring, it just sounds so glamorous....I can't even imagine.

[WhiteKnight]

I had never expected a $11000 ring to be honest. If I was in your shoes Rooster_DAR, I would try to get the ring back or give the ring to the woman and cut all ties with her.

 

What I did with my ex-fiancee, she and I both kept the engagement rings for awhile. I dunno if she lost hers or left it somewhere, but to be honest I don't really care. Even if she lost it, it means that she didn't value it as much. As for me, I was advised to keep it anyways but I don't wear it like I used to before I met a new partner.

 

So I'm in the debate of whether I should destroy it or keep the ring somewhere but buried.

[Woggle]

Luckily for me I have a wife that boycotts diamonds(how is that for a sign that she is not like other women?) so this was never and never will be an issue. I say take her to court and when you do get that ring sell it and treat yourself to something you enjoy with the money.

Not uncommon at all. Many people do not agree with the diamond industry. Especially since slavery was used to mine the diamonds, and the fact that the industry is hoarding diamonds to make the ones that are available on the market more "valueable". Diamonds are simply a worthless rock. There was a few people recently who found a way to manufacture perfect diamonds without the need to mine for them. They grew them out of their own lab. The diamond industry freaked out and tried to intimidated/threaten these people to keep it on the low. It's a ruthless industry and a lot of people boycott them.
