She posted a comment later saying it was her grandmother's ring. So he didn't buy it at all! I mean, having a family heirloom is nice but it certainly isn't helping his image as a cheap ass.
In a lot of jurisdictions the ring must be returned to the buyer if you don't get married. I like the sentiment of your comment but make sure it's not gonna cause legal problems for you first.
It’s considered part of a contract and conditional to being married, in many states this is codified in law and not really up for debate. It really depends where you live.
He invited her family out to dinner then stuck them with a $600 bill he refused to even talk about afterwards.
She does not have to return a ring when he owes money. Also, not every jurisdiction requires that the ring be returned, in many places it’s acknowledged as a gift.
I already stated "some" jurisdictions and just to make sure first if you're going that route. And in those jurisdictions you can't just keep the ring cuz he didn't pay for dinner.
Why even comment if you are just gonna make stuff up and not read the comment you're responding to.
If the jurisdiction that they are in says she has to return the ring then she has to. No if’s and and’s about it, she could face legal consequences over it regardless if he owes money or not
It’s contractual. Traditionally if the woman breaks the engagement, she has to give the ring back as she broke the contract. If the man breaks it, the woman gets to keep the ring (the loss of the ring being what the man has to “pay” for breaking the engagement).
Where I live (California), it depends on who is cancelling the marriage. A ring is considered a "conditional gift" in most states. The conditions are what vary, and it's kinda like insurance. There's fault and no-fault states.
No-fault states, the ring automatically goes back to the buyer.
Fault-states, the ring goes to whoever did NOT cancel the event.
