Should the recipient give back an engagement ring if the engagement is broken off?
I think the ring should be given back. If the girl calls off the engagement because they changed their mind or they cheated on the guy then you don’t deserve to keep the ring they gave you out of love. If the engagement is called off because they changed their mind or they cheated I don’t see why you would want to keep the ring, it would only remind you of the horrible things they did. I say give it back and start to move on.
very intriguing, normally i’d say yes….it’s just a matter of taste and manners, however in this decade more and more couples are living together, and that means shopping together.pooling their incomes, most couples choose the “set” together, and make the payments together….therefore if the engagement is called off, the ring cannot not be returned, so whomever is paying for it….should have it!♥ tough dilemma, yet who really thinks about it in that context, when you get engaged, it should be because you are absolutely sure!♥
If the recipient calls off the wedding for no reason or is unfaithful and the giver calls it then the recipient should give the ring back. However if the recipient calls off the wedding because the giver was unfaithful then I think they should keep it. Its like a contract, a ring is given under the condition of marriage.

Girl keeps ring even if she broke up with boy. (He CAUSED the break up) Girl gives boy ring. Boy changes his mind about getting married. Girl breaks up with boy. Boy should give ring back. (Again, he caused the break up) Boy gives girl ring. Girl cheats on boy. Boy breaks up with girl. Girl should give back ring. (This time SHE caused the break up) Technically, an engagement ring is considered a gift. The recipient isn’t obligated to give it back even if they cause the break up. But a decent human being will at least offer. The moral of the story is don’t give an engagement ring to someone you don’t trust 100%. And ev
