Should the engagement ring be returned after a broken engagement? A few years ago, it became famous in the media thanks to Doda and her ex-fiancé Emil Haidar. The man demanded that the singer give him an engagement ring worth over 100,000. The battle between Rabczewska and Haidar lasted almost from the day they parted. Interestingly, the District Court in Warsaw recognized the ring as the subject of a prenuptial agreement. Ultimately, after months of fighting with the bailiff, Doda returned the amount due to the Tax Office in Warsaw.
“I felt like a thief”
The issue of returning such a ring is quite a touchy topic for many people. 30-year-old Magda, who split up with her fiancé over eight years ago, still has bad memories of that period in her life.
– We’ve been a couple since junior high school. When I went to study in Warsaw, and he stayed in his hometown, our paths began to diverge. The decision to break off the engagement was made by me. My ex had a grudge against me for that. For a long time he could not come to terms with our separation. As revenge, he told mutual friends strange things about me – the 30-year-old reveals in an interview with Woman.gazeta.pl.
Magda learned from a friend that her ex-fiancé in these conversations also raises the issue of the engagement ring. – He said that I didn’t return it, that I probably want to sell it now. It hurt me terribly. I even felt like a thief. Ultimately, my mother helped me a lot. We went together to his family house to return the ring to the witnesses – our interlocutor recalls.
“For months in some box”
In turn, Agata, 33, still has the engagement ring that was given to her by her ex-partner. She did not return it as it was not she who ended the relationship. – I read somewhere that it is not necessary in such a situation. And I didn’t return the ring as I didn’t want to see him anymore after our last conversation. However, it’s not like I still wear it or want to sell it. The ring has been in a box for months – he says.
“I consider the ex’s detention dishonorable”
This topic was also raised many times on our forum. Some argue that such rings should always be returned. Here are the most interesting opinions that appeared under the post.
The ex should give you the ring back. If she “forgot” about it, you should boldly remind her of it. I consider that my ex’s retention of the ring is dishonorable. This is proof that she is a calculating materialist. And it really doesn’t matter whose fault the engagement was broken.
I would give it up, no matter what the reason for the breakup. You have to be classy, as someone rightly pointed out – an engagement ring is not a birthday present.
The engagement ring is given as a contract: I give you the ring if you become my wife. If there was no wedding, the contract was broken, so the ring should be taken back.
Others believe it depends on who initiated the breakup.
It depends on the situation and the reason for the breakup. If I fell out of love or the breakup was my fault, I would give it up. Otherwise not – unless the ex asks for it.
It is customary for a woman to keep the ring if her fiancé has blown up a number. If the breakup is her fault, she should give it up without your murmuring or reprimanding you.
