bungallow55: Of course, especially with this damn economy

I said are you kidding me?!? He was quiet serious

Then, forget what I have said...You're the smart one
jac379: Its not just tacky, its indicative that he's not emotionally on an even keel, in my opinion.
It sounds to me like he's trying to satisfy a surface need of his with little understanding of the root cause, or empathy for the needs of others.
If this is the case, then its unlikely he'll be able to sustain a relationship that he's attempting to commit to forever and ever.
Well what really gets me....when I left for good, within a week he had a gal moved in while still claiming all this undying love for me!!! He has truly gave love a very bad name...

PS. If I were in your shoes (and maybe you've already done some of this), I'd be trying to work out what lack of understanding I had, or what skills I lacked in order to think marrying him was a good idea. That learning can then be taken to another healthier, happier relationship.

Nah, he's just provided you with a stepping stone to your own self-exploration and more centred self.
What he does isn't all that important. Its only important in as much as it gives you the stimulus to reflect upon yourself.

that is why I haven't got into another relationship yet....going to take some time to get over and heal from that one...but yes, I'll take a whole different approach next time for sure

I'd say he must like recycling... good for the planet eh?
Just another thought......there was a time when an antique piece of jewellery was passed through a family. And it was given as an engagement ring to many generations. It had commercial as well as emotional value.

My ex wanted my ring back as well (I guessed it was for the new wife to be) but as a result from watching Titanic too many times, it landed at the bottom of the ocean. It felt soooooo good
SoonerGal: no actually I'm a much happier person by far now...so really he didn't get the better of me I promise...I'm a much stronger person than that
Obviously, more than a few guys view the symbolism of the ring differently than women. It's not just only a sign of marriage. To share that same ring beyond the couple that it was intended for is wrong.

lol! well mine wanted to buy it back, looking back I should have sold it too him at a higher cost than what we paid, it has NO meaning to me whatsoever other than a constant reminder how miserable I was
but I can see how wonderfully releasing that was for you!

Some people say is right ,some others say is wrong, to ask for a ring back.Personally i think is not the right thing,asking jewelry or presents, given to your ex back.

These Rings arnt cheap .
P.S. Lucky to get one at all .
since I'm not directly affected I could really careless, however all it done was just prove on a higher level of what a loser he really is and always was
