Should I still keep it or throw it away? It means a lot to me even though we aren't together anymore. We are still really great friends and I feel throwing it away would tarnish that somehow.
What do you think of this ring he gave me back in 2024?
Well first of all you can't do what we say you have to do it you feel I personally think you should keep it I know you're going to keep it because I also know somewhere down the road for different reasons that you might think it will have gotten you through something you could take it and throw it away that's what I did with my I was out in the middle of a field I took it off and I threw it as far as I could now I wish I would have sold it LOL
I bought it for me anyway Even though it came from her But that's not the point I think you're growing I think you have grown And I think you need to keep that around so every once in a while when you see it Did it reminds you Of something That you had And that everything's okay Because what you gain from it And who you gain from it You will say I'm glad I went through that experience I wish you didn't take so long but I'm glad I did But that's okay It's baby steps We all go through them no matter what It is that we're talking about
And one day you just might need the money so you can sell it you never know but put it away someplace when you're doing whatever you might come across it you'll think about it for a second and move on because you will know what it represented and you will also know where it took you to good and bad but the outcome of the Good Will Be The Place we're all come together
It looks really nice. If it means something to you keep it, sometimes, even if something doesn't end well, It does not represent the positive times before it ended. The fact that you are still friends says a lot! I would keep it, however, I am not you, and whatever decision you make, you are not wrong.
I think I stole that from the original Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. Sorry, i try to be original when I can. However. that does not mean it's not true!
Since it's a promise ring (not an actual engagement ring) and you're just friends by now, you can either pawn it or convert it into a key or necklace.
If you start a new relationship you need to make sure there isn't a sentiment value attached because no men isn't going to like it if you still bringing it around.
Why would you throw away a good ring. If you don't want it anymore, give it to someone who will appreciate it.

I’d keep it if it’s that nice. But like other men said you’d have to explain it to a future man in your life. But there has to be absolutely no sentimental value attached to it cause the new man isn’t going to be ok w that. He’s going to think you still have feelings for this man, or that you’re reminiscing on old memories w this ex. So you have to explain it the way men would. Women get mad when a man takes a new girl to a restaurant that he used to take an ex. So she may think he’s taking her there because he’s reminiscing about his ex. But the reality of it is that no I’m taking you here cause they have fucking good steaks, good prices, etc, etc. Not cause I mix that bitch lol The same has to apply to this ring. No it’s cute. It goes w my dress. There’s no emotions attached to it. The same w when men keep a watch an ex gave them. It’s usually cause it’s good item, maybe worth some money that you like to wear. I hope that makes sense.
Since it's no longer an engagement ring, why not have it reset into a necklace? Shows you value it. And he didn't ask for it back, which would be a reasonable request. You could also have it resized and wear it on another finger like the fore or middle finger.
I think you just answered your own question. Even if it isn't your taste and you'll never wear it, you've gotta keep it. Get rid of the case and put the ring with the other pieces of jewelry you wear regularly. It will be a nice reminder of your friendship. Surely it was given with the best of intentions.
It's pretty. Do you ever wear it? I still have roses from Homecoming and Prom and valentines day (from old boyfriends)... lol I learned you can preserve 🌹 by turning them upside down. Why would you throw it away? It's not an engagement ring, it's a ring someone that's still important in your life gave you. Just don't wear it when another important man enters your life, because you will have to explain the rings importance, while not lying to him lol
I'd toss it into a fire, because the love burnt up or he didn't have the strength to hold onto it... at that point in life.
It's not easy sometimes... maturity takes time. But by holding that, he is controlling you. And that's of no use to you. If you die with the ring, you die with what could have been, not what is.
Why would you throw it away? It still holds some meaning to you. Just be prepared to give a backstory to any future boyfriends. Some my ask about it, some may not care, some may appreciate the backstory.
Did this guy propose to you and never followed through? Hell, even if you're friends you should sell it or something. That's like a bad reminder of what could've been.
Go to pawnshop and ask how much they will give you for it. If it's peanuts put it in trash jewelry if it's something worth put it on your good jewelry stash that you will give your kids before you go to hades.
It’s a lovely ring & it’s also a reminder of a failed relationship if you are still single. Honestly get rid of it unless you want to feel like dog shit every time you look at it.
You’re welcome don’t forget to watch the dolphin 🐬 game in 20 Minutes they’re playing the Las Vegas Raiders today is opening kickoff day to start the season off
sometimes things like this can give you comfort and sometimes they can just make you feel like you dodged a bullet. Either way you should hang onto it.
why throw it away, if anything take it to a pawn shop and get money for it, so someone else can get it for less money so they can make someone else happy with it.
