  • haentz, on 03/08/2009, -3/+189Looks like he made the right decision not to marry this psycho.
  • Hodor, on 03/07/2009, -2/+162if it was an engagement ring, and the engagement was off.. why should she profit from it by keeping the, presumably moderately expensive, ring?
  • inactive, on 03/08/2009, -5/+149What if the guy punched her in the face? 5 years minimum!
  • scooterbaga, on 03/08/2009, -2/+95Logic doesn't apply... unless they want it to.
  • Snottlebocket, on 03/08/2009, -4/+83Isn't it traditional that a woman returns the ring if the engagement is called off?
  • Jaggd, on 03/08/2009, -2/+74I'm surprised he wasn't arrested for defending himself.
  • 01arkone, on 03/08/2009, -0/+71Why is she still wearing the ring?
  • costumemaker, on 03/08/2009, -3/+72courts have ruled time and time again that the ring is part of a verbal contract and if the contract is rejected or negated, then the ring goes back to the person that offered it as part of the contract. Once you are married, the ring is hers, before that, it's only hers as long as the engagement stays on.

    Bitch is just jaded and thinks she deserves what she doesn't.
  • DM05, on 03/08/2009, -0/+48In most states it's a conditional gift... the condition being marriage. So she doesn't have ownership of the ring until marriage.
  • drifter, on 03/08/2009, -4/+47You're lying or your friend is an idiot. You can get laid just being boyfriend and girlfriend. Who the hell gets engaged just to get laid?
  • jayrok, on 03/07/2009, -1/+43Did the ring also say "Unity" on it?
  • cfuse, on 03/08/2009, -5/+47Because whores expect to be paid.
  • charlietuna, on 03/08/2009, -0/+40yes you go.. go to jail.
  • Biscuitz, on 03/08/2009, -3/+40So, she'll get charged with Domestic Violence, right? RIGHT???
  • bubba9999, on 03/08/2009, -5/+42Does this mean that she's available?
  • SFVenturer, on 03/08/2009, -0/+36This is so true!
  • UrinalPooper, on 03/08/2009, -2/+35Legally, it doesn't matter who calls off the wedding, the ring must be returned.
  • Lavarock, on 03/07/2009, -0/+33No. Don't.
  • kspanks04, on 03/08/2009, -0/+33To punch guys who want it.
  • SirDaShadow, on 03/08/2009, -0/+29I hate to admit this, but I've seen a case in one of those daytime court shows where the ex-fiancee wanted his ring back and she refused, so he took her to court and won because it is implied that it is part of a contract and not a gift.
  • inactive, on 03/08/2009, -1/+29She'd hit you first.
  • krickett907, on 03/08/2009, -1/+28My mother (who is huge on proper etiquette) once told me that a lady always returns the ring. I wouldn't want to keep it anyway... If the wedding's off, the ring's off.
  • outlawrook, on 03/08/2009, -0/+27you won't see a feminist comment that
  • StormyAaron, on 03/08/2009, -0/+27Legally most states in the US see the ring as a conditional gift. if it gets broken off (by any party) the ring is to be given back to the guy (or the girl if the girl proposed).
  • mogdor, on 03/08/2009, -4/+29Woman assaults man = double standards guaranteed to come into play.
  • iticu, on 03/08/2009, -1/+26Yet again proving that whenever "lol" is added to a sentence the sentence loses all credibility.
  • cliffzdude, on 03/08/2009, -0/+22Damn engagement rings. "Two months salary". *****. Worse than greeting cards, an industry has taken the American Male for a ride for decades. I for one welcome the introduction of flawless, lab made diamonds. I hope the floor drops out of the entire diamond market, and leaves De Beers left swaying in the wind. The day a 5ct flawless, perfectly colored diamond is $50. Which begs the question, what will women demand THEN?
  • inactive, on 03/08/2009, -0/+21There are people that STILL say this? LOL! Megan Meier yourself, shupy.
  • LlarrytheLlama, on 03/08/2009, -4/+24Her photo screams "Bitch Combo Platter!"
  • billizm, on 03/08/2009, -1/+21If he did defend himself, then he would be the only one sent to prison.
  • GraceMolloy, on 03/08/2009, -5/+23Having gone through this myself (the disengagement, not the punching) Most states view it as a contract. If the engagement is off she is "generally" required to give the ring back. Though some states vary.

    Incidentally, I actually managed to sell mine at a small profit.
  • IamNomad, on 03/08/2009, -5/+23I wonder how small claims would handle it. Is the ring viewed as a gift or is it a form of payment for service rendered?

    Also, what a crazy bitch.
  • ddetina, on 03/08/2009, -1/+18What ever you do, don't weaponize your girlfriend until you're really, really sure about her.
  • inotocracy, on 03/08/2009, -6/+23Women are generally illogical, so yeah we can't rely on "logic" for these scenarios. Court rules needed in the event something like this happens.
  • Biscuitz, on 03/08/2009, -4/+21Did you read the article? She's being charged with assult, and was arrested.

    Good job.
  • TheNakedChef, on 03/08/2009, -2/+18Bitches are everywhere! Especially the psycho variety...
  • kplo, on 04/01/2009, -7/+23Yeah, asking for the ring back seems like a tough thing to do without getting a few bruises.
  • latexsolarbeef, on 03/08/2009, -8/+23I'd hit it.
  • jts10, on 03/08/2009, -3/+16Grace... guessing you're a female who got the ring and didn't give it back but sold it.

    "Small profit" sounds like you bought the ring and then sold it for more when it was called off for whatever reason. Why don't I believe that you bought it?

    No matter what you sold it for you didn't get a "small profit"... you got free money.
  • inactive, on 03/08/2009, -2/+15***** morcheeba, if it was about gender equality then it wouldn't focus on women, it would focus on both. And it can't be feminism if it does focus on both. And tell the 'feminists' that.
  • inactive, on 03/08/2009, -1/+14Firstly, stop using '*****' so much, it makes you look like an idiot.

    Secondly calm down, it was purely a joke. I'm pretty sure most of those overreaction cases are out of the ordinary anyways.
  • deaddoll00, on 03/08/2009, -2/+15It was not a gift. It was a symbol of the fact they were supposed to get married which usually costs a pretty penny. The engagement was off, therefore, she had no right to want to keep the ring (eventually to pawn it, no doubt)

  • ColonialRule, on 03/08/2009, -8/+20For women, it's always about the money.
  • kspanks04, on 03/08/2009, -2/+14It was a boxing ring.
  • gixxer600, on 03/08/2009, -4/+16assuming your a girl......doing that would make you what is professionally refereed to as a , *****
  • Wakkyweed, on 03/08/2009, -1/+13I don't know, Portnoy, I remember life 30+ years ago as well, and the women were pretty slutty back then too. Anyone who couldn't get laid back in the Disco days of the 70's wasn't trying very hard.
  • blechler, on 03/08/2009, -1/+12You should have taken the time to get to know him before agreeing to marry him.
  • grahamvinyl, on 03/08/2009, -1/+12@biscuitz
    Is that really something to laugh out loud about?
  • inactive, on 03/08/2009, -2/+12as long as it stays in the family...
