There’s this girl who broke off her engagement, returned the expensive ring to ex-fiancé and he asked to be paid back for it. Who’s in the wrong here?

I know her personally but she said this in an interview which is online. He texted her saying that he took out all his savings for it and everything and her response was just “excuse me?”

I'm not a lawyer do this comment is based solely on what I've heard in similar situations.

First, her initial acceptance of the ring created a legal contract. By breaking off the engagement, she broke the contract, which entitles him to compensation. He got that when she returned the ring. The only way he would be entitled to more is if the ring has lost value. Say the ring cost him $1000 and now a jeweler spprsises it for $800. He would be entitled to an additional $200 from her.

She gave it back to him... Why does he need extra money lol

Seriously? In an interview... sounds like she is chasing a feeling instead of people...

Kudos on her for returning the ring and such, but they typically won't take it back.

Good she didn't marry, I imagine she'd bail in a heartbeat.

[Asker]

She was recently engaged to someone new. Lol. Some men are so dumb.

[Anarcamus]

What? Wow... she happen to have two dogs 😅?
This is just sad in the end, people are so prone to bailing...
This is just not all that appropriate for an interview

[Asker]

She was talking about how she made a change in her life for the better which included quitting her job, breaking off an engagement, and cutting out toxic people.

[Anarcamus]

By acting toxic herself?
Sorry, this whole "toxic" this or "narcissist" that and "self-love" world is honestly not as healthy as it seems...

[Asker]

It is SO toxic. She also talked about she surrounds herself with people who are doing a lot with their lives, which is great, but super shallow. Because success is elastic - some years you’ll win and some you’ll lose. So it comes down to surrounding yourself with people with good character. I don't know she’s an opportunist social climber who puts on this sweet front. She once was flaky with me wanting to set up coffee to learn about my job, kept cancelling. She just finds something so much “better”

[Anarcamus]

Sounds like someone I used to know honestly. Mentors are good, but gotta really look at self

[Anarcamus]

I'm curious if her name could be shortened to something like bat, cat, or rat?

HE gave HER the ring. HE handed it over. HE paid for it. HE decided to take out HIS savings for it. SHE didn't ask for it. SHE should have kept it and sold it for money. just the way it is.

[Anonymous]

Wait, if she returned the ring to him, why is he asking to be paid back for it?

[Asker]

They were already engaged and to be married so I’m sure this was a huge investment on his part finance wise.

[Asker]

Although - maybe he wasn’t able to return it and get his money back at the shop? I’m confused too. Lol

[In_Trance]

They're both knuckleheads
