\"Is<\/div>\n

So, is the engagement ring a gift, or not?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nDo you keep the ring upon breakup?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nWhat if he cheats on you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

All good questions<\/h2>\n

\nI have answers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nFirst off, NO<\/strong> the engagement ring is not a gift<\/strong>. It’s not like he’s buying you some earrings or a pendant or anklet.<\/p>\n

\nThe engagement ring is a token of commitment<\/strong>. a bond that you accepted upon the phrase “Will you marry me?<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

\nThe ring is a uniting of individuals<\/strong>. It shows that you belong together through thick and thin.<\/p>\n

\nSo if that joining falls apart, the ring goes back to him<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nAs long as you stay married, it’s yours<\/strong>. But upon separation, it’s his<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What if he cheats?<\/h2>\n

\nMost women believe that if he cheats, the ring is HERS<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\nBut that’s still not the case<\/strong>. He bought it for you to get married. No marriage, no ring<\/strong>. The cheating is a whole different topic that I won’t discuss here. And really, what more can be said about it? I would think that if he cheated on you, why would you want to keep the ring anyway?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Exception:<\/h2>\n

\nYes there is one exception to this ‘gift’ rule<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

The DAY you propose!<\/h2>\n

\nThat’s right, certain days of the year are a no-no for proposing<\/strong> and will void the whole ‘gift theory<\/strong>‘…<\/p>\n

\nThey are days like holidays, birthdays, graduation… Days like Christmas, New Years, Valentines<\/strong>… If you propose to her on these celebratory days, then it will turn that engagement ring into a gift<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

AND GIFTS YOU KEEP!<\/h2>\n

\nThis is why you should never mix the proposal with a holiday. I know many people want to do it in front of their family and friends<\/strong> (you’re gathering anyway), but DON’T!<\/strong> Unless you don’t care about getting the ring back…<\/p>\n

Proposal days should be their own separate day.<\/h2>\n

\nSeparate meanings<\/strong> with no confusion<\/strong> as to the ring being a gift, or not.<\/p>\n

\nCheers! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
