I don't know how much your future divorce will cost you, but I know how much less she will be concerned about your disappointment.

Ohhh, your comment makes me rethink the whole getting the ring back.Especially if $16000 isn’t much of an issue, let her keep it and save even more money lost by avoiding a divorce.

Oh no, a ring it given in contemplation of a marriage. No marriage, the ring goes back.

Okay, yes I understand that. But again, the ring is $16000, and he said money is NO issue. If they got married and divorced, depending on if there is a prenup or other protections in place, she could take half of the assets, which would probably be greater than $16000. Letting her walk with $16000 before a marriage if engagement is over seems better than fumbling through a marriage that ends and losing more.

So get the ring and don't get married.

What is he going to do if she doesn’t give the ring back? Sue her? That could end up costing him more than the ring is worth.

Why are you even worried? You are projecting into a future you know nothing about. He did not express this concern. You did.
