Whatever your lawyer says, do it.Should I ask for the engagement ring back lol?
You are assuming she wants it.Trade it off, she keeps the ring and you get big screen and stereo.
Make a big issue out of everything so as to not tip your hand as to what you really value. Choose assigned value carefully.
I Agree.heirloom yes, she picked it out no.
Also a frequently used smoothing of the ways if there is a son (or sons) is that a ring goes to one of them.
It won't work if she's got a halfway decent lawyer, but try and push as much property (at face value) on her as possible. She wants the house? Great! That comes out of her half of the settlement! At full value (which is hard to get on an open market). She wants the engagement ring! Great! Full retail value of the ring counts against whatever her settlement's monetary value is!
On the other hand, if you're smart enough to bail out of a relationship before you get married, but after you were dumb enough to pop the question, the ring is yours. An engagement ring could be considered the down payment on a contract to marry between you and your fiancee IF it isn't also a gift for something else. Some guys try to cut corners and buy an engagement ring as a combination engagement ring and birthday/Valentine's Day/Christmas/whatever gift. That's a bad idea, because then that's a gift to her, not a down payment on a contract, and she can keep the ring if you break off the engagement.
Yeah, yeah, it means an extra night out for popping the question and if everything goes through it means an extra present and dinner out every year that you can't wrap up into a combo day (ie- "Our anniversary is Valentine's Day, honey, so we only go out once that night!"). First, it'll never fly: you're going to be giving her two gifts for engagement day/whatever holiday anyway, and second if the engagement falls through you're out a good chunk of change if you bought a decent ring.

Thats depressing, cost me $13,000 10 years ago from Birks.Don't expect to get much for it. The liquidation value of a typical diamond engagement ring is a fraction of retail - as low as one tenth but never more than a third.
Not an heirloom, we picked it out together. Fucking lot of money back then.
You cut and pasted what I thought was a great idea too! (We should have a Cuban cigar one day).Hey, great strategy! Brilliant!
For 2g I will get the ring.Should I ask for the engagement ring back lol?
Like he said. You don't want it... She probably doesn't either. Don't let it become an issue... it isn't worth it. And it isn't worth shit now, so move past it...Consider it the best money you ever threw away and get as far away from her with as little conflict as possible.
probably was close to 100 SP/hrThats depressing, cost me $13,000 10 years ago from Birks.

that is probably more good sex than a husband can get out of 10 years of average marriage
Ha.Don't expect to get much for it. The liquidation value of a typical diamond engagement ring is a fraction of retail - as low as one tenth but never more than a third.
Modern marriage is more about fleecing men than anything else.
That's some damn expensive virginity insurance! Have you ever considered a pay-as-you-fuck plan with no term commitment?Ha.
