First i am NOT giving back anything. Please i gave just as much in kind as he may have in cash.. and vice versa If we start with the ring then it can be all the other material things that were given throughout the life of the relationship. I always refer to myself as being gainfully married.. because it is a lot of work
It is not chivalrous to take back a gift and even more impolite to give back one.
If you know you cannot afford an expensive ring then don't buy one.
I got a ring yes... but the symbol of love i wanted was property (house & land.)
just my 2 cents (smiling)

Married: It isn't okay to ask for the ring back regardless of who's fault it is. If she gives it back voluntarily, by all means accept it.

Thanks, Sumyr for I was going to give the same response.

Just curious why would a woman want to keep a ring of somebody that it didn't work out with?
Memories & the financial value. (remember years back when Donald Trump was dating Marla Maples & she returned the ring, but kept the diamond?)
By the way, in reference to your first question, legally if it is considered a gift it does not have to be returned & engagement/wedding rings are a gift.

I'll take the ring back because I'd want my money back. Besides, I'd want to move on from that.

because it's now hers!...lol when he placed that ring on her finger,and she accepted,she said "i will marry you" if she hadn't have married him..he has the right to get it back.but she did,it's hers to do with it whatever. now! let me ask you the question concerning any other gift from a wife to her husband....let's say she had to money to give her husband a brand new car,1 year later they're splitting,should he give the car back,though it's his! because others are saying..."why would he even want to keep it" also remember men have a wedding bad too...should he give that up?
