Is it ok for a man to use the same engagement ring with multiple women? (154)
CuddlingSoul: 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.
If, and IF is a big word at this point, I ever get engaged again, I will be very weary of the ring I receive...really sad
SoonerGal: My ex-husband in the 2 years we have been divorced almost got married twice, well recently he has a new gal and gave her the same engagement ring that he had given the previous too...I personally think this is tacky...just another reason we're divorced what are your thoughts on this, is it tacky or acceptable?
recycle,is a must now,lol.reb56: recycle,is a must now,lol.
so I guess if you recycle women just as well as recycle rings...how depressing

I don't think it's tacky, I think there's something not right in his head!

With the money he"s saved on Rings he could visit a Bar
spiritalk: 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.
An engagement ring is a symbol of commitment. If a person's parents, or grandparents had a happy, healthy commitment and your capacity to love and commit is at least in part influenced by your formative experiences surrounded by their ethos, then the symbolic value is enriched.
If the ring belonged to previous relationships who's commitment didn't work out, the symbolism of the ring changes. It becomes a symbol of frivolity, superficiality, folly, shallowness and a lack of commitment, or healthy choices. It becomes a symbol of self-centred need, rather than other-centred empathy.
Buying a second hand, or antique ring which has no personal history, but might be fitting for other reasons, ie. the receiver will like it, its affordable, whatever, is different. If the OP's ex had sold on the ring and bought another specifically with the new person in mind and according to her personal tastes, then at least he would have been thinking about his significant other, rather than what he was getting out of the action.

Well said and my sentiments exactly.

You better tell your X husband to stop using my method and you better stop being jelous.

sounds like he is a cheap guy, in other words not a lot people would do that.
I wouldn't expect to see the ring again if this happened to me. I think the woman would be entitled to keep the ring, especially if she was rudely treated. But I guess I'm just old fashioned
Easyboy1: You better tell your X husband to stop using my method and you better stop being jelous.
Jealous?!? No hun I'm not jealous...I'm the one who divorced him...all it done was open my eyes to wonder what he had maybe done to me over the years that held no meaning whatsoever

I'll never forget when he broke up with #1 he came over and was telling me how he literally had to battle to keep the ring. Guess they broke up but it was late so he slept on the couch and had the ring sitting on a table near by, when he woke up it was gone and he said the battle was on!!!

I hope he didn't have to cut her finger off or anything horrible like that ,
Some times you can never find a knife when you need one .
If you wanted the ring so much... why didn't you just kept it to urself?

Sometimes to bring yourself down to another persons Level to argue and fight , its just better to realise your just best rid ,

Just a question why is it your concern what he does now that you're divorced?
Move on.

Well, if it wasn't your ring, but his ring, I'd say he can do whatever he wants with it, he paid for it after all.

Move on.
it's not my concern, he makes it my concern by telling me these things...we're not enemy's we do still talk...

She just said the ring wasn't hers, but his.

I could careless what he does with the ring, he can throw it off the tallest mountain for all I care, the whole point to this thread is if its tacky for a man to give the same ring to different women
