Then we have the whole issue of:
Cheating
She feels that if the Man cheats on her then She gets to keep the ring. Like the cheat will justify the 'screw him back' attitude. This will cause him pain just as well.
We could go on and on about jilted people and how revenge is sweet. But is this...
What they Deserve?
Is this thinking right?
Will it take the heartbreak away?
I say no!
Bottom Line
The Man should always get the ring back. No matter what!
Let me explain.
To me it's a simple reason why. He bought it, she didn't!
It's Not a Gift
The ring is a symbol of marriage that never was. Hurt women always want to point the finger and say 'he broke up with me!', but obviously there are deeper issues between the would-be-bride and groom to cause this.
It's not one-sided!
Even in the event of cheating, there's usually a reason why he felt like he had to stray. I believe the fault is shared with both of them. The divide was caused by relationship problems that one person can't manifest of their own. Responsibility for the failed Engagement is equal.
Be Thankful
I say thank the lucky stars that it happened now and not 5 years down the road when they have a home, 2 cars, 4 kids and pets.
No matter how much they want to get back at the other person. No matter how much they want to 'screw' each other back. Don't do it. Karma has a clever way of coming around again and biting you in the butt.
Plus I say, "Why would you want to keep it anyway?" Keep it as a reminder of a Failed Engagement? Yes I failed at this and want to remember it forever. NOT! I would think it would hold sad memories and pain.
It's not worth it. Cleanse yourself. Cleanse your soul. Give him back his little 'Token'.
Because with this ring, you certainly "DON'T!"
