Enigma and ring.
I lost a diamond ring my ex boyfriend have me when he proposed me. A ring I have never worn (because I don't like diamond) until we broke up almost 3 years ago. My friend questioned me why would I wore that when it was over. They thought I was still love him and wanted him back. I do. I do still love him, he is my son's father. But to want him back, never. So why I wore the ring? I did that to remind me that love exists, that once there was a man who loved me and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. No one believed me. The truth was he came to me several time to get back, but my love for him has changed. If I am still in touch with him and help him in is work or whatever he is doing, it's simply because of my son. I want him to have a father he could be proud of. Full stop.So I kept wearing this ring until last month a (girl) friend of mine telling me it's a bad luck wearing a ring from your ex, it's like preventing a new love/man to come. I did not believe it until a guy gave another perspective of seeing it. I always wear the ring in a finger that shows I am enggaged, this way, he said, you will never meet a man. He would think you're taken. I saw his point. But, jokingly, I said, I had no problem men thinking I am taken. I am not into relationship at the moment anyway.
Do you throw your ex's things that he gave when you broke up? Or you keep wearing it, or you keep it but not wearing it? And do you believe keep wearing it will prevent a new love/man from coming?

Sell it and give the money to charity.
Nothing good will come from the profit of sadness. Or the mis appropriation of sadness
Happy, You shouldn't tempt the cosmic prankster.
" And do you believe keep wearing it will prevent a new love/man from coming?"
Superstition never plays a role in my relationships, potential or otherwise.
I'm not an internet person, never buy anything online except flight ticket, so ebay is out of my thought. Beside I like the ring, it looked good on my finger
I like the ring that's why I kept it.
Waf,
I tried giving it back to him when I said no to the proposal but he wanted me to keep it. Though the unity was no longer exist, we have a son together so with ring or not the relationship will be there, as parents to our son.
"Do you know the french story titled la perure"
No, what about it?
Welela,
That's very nice of you giving the ring to your granddaughter. My relationship with him is good now, maybe even better than when we were together and the boy knows we love him. I meet him every two weeks when he takes the boy to stay over the weekend at his house. I even had lunch and dinner couple of time with his partner. So all is good, he does not know yet I lost the ring though
Like I said I don't like diamond and not too fond of accesories so to make an effort making it into brooch or anything has never occured to me. And yes I lost it.
I keep things I like and give away things I don't like to charity. I don't have anything from an ex that has sentimental value for me.
I'm not superstitious so I don't think something like that could prevent a new love, just practical - don't wear any ring where it could be misinterpreted in your country.
Steff: really? thought u still with u gf
yes, I think I believed it. that ring as a symbol of love when we were in love. to me, ring is sacred. If I keep wearing it that love will always there. and it will keep reminds me of him.
hi mbak, pa kabar? dah lama tak bersua.
mohon maaf lahir batin.
It does not have any sentimental value anymore, I just like it on my finger, it looks good. And yes, I took it off more because I don't want it to be misinterpreted as I am enggaged.
Lavina,
Apa kabar? Udah lama nggak kelihatan.
Kabar baik, iya nih udah lama absen, sibuk pacaran. Sekarang single beredar lagi
Under the laws of several states here in the US it must be returned if the wedding does not happen. Your acceptance of the ring is based on your agreement to marry. It is worn as a symbol that you have so committed. If the wedding is cancelled then under the laws here the ring must be returned. I am indeed aware of cases where women have been taken to court for not returning the ring in such circumstances and at least two cases where the woman was jailed for cancelling the engagement then selling the ring she had no lawful right to keep once she cancelled the agreement.
