It’s Just materialistic. Control Ur reaction coz U can’t control the situation. The memories should b there regardless. Did u have to give it back If it’s not a family ring. U don’t really have the say in wot he does with it.
Don’t be mad. Be glad you’re not with his cheap dumb ass anymore.
An ex is an ex for a reason. Why should you care
You shouldn’t be upset but he should feel stupid and she should feel humiliated to wear someone else’s ring! Seriously, how embarrassing!!
I wouldn’t have given it back if it meant that much. I know that’s not helpful, I’m sorry. I’m just stuck on that part.
At the end of the day its just a ring. The only value/power it has,is what you give it. Don’t let the ring upset you when the relationship is over. Its fine to have these emotions though, because once, it did mean a lot. Just let yourself work through the feelings and focus on what can never be taken away, your children.
Well, you gave it back to him it’s tacky, yes, but it’s his to do whatever he wishes with. If I was the new girl, I wouldn’t want it, much less, flaunt it
Uhhhhhh, I would NEVER wear another woman’s ring. That’s just him being cheap and her being low-key petty, IMO.
Don’t lose sleep over it. There’s better reasons to wake up in the morning (your kids).
Mind your own business.
It is not yours.
My ex gave his new fiance the ring I used to wear. Didn’t bother me, but she knew it was once mine and liked to show it off and tell her friends that it used to belong to me. She felt she “won” and that he chose her over me, when in fact, I was the one who broke it off due to his cheating. She is now married to him and still jealous of me…even though over 40 years has passed! LOL
I wouldn’t be upset about the ring, point blank period. The ring was a promise that was never upheld, so to me it wouldn’t hold any value.
As for the new girl, she knows and she’s okay with it? That girl is either desperate to be “wifed” or she’s straight up I don’t even know lol.
If some guy tried giving me another women’s ring…a ring he gave when he asked the same question of marriage…nope nope nope. I’d kick him to the curb. Bye
Let it go. It’s not worth the hassle. It’s just a ring. Let it go.
If I were you, I wouldn’t care. I think I’d be offended if I were the new fiancé though.
I think I’d be more upset if I was the new girl…
You don’t, but she sure AF does. Eww all around
Upset no…feel sorry for her…hell yeah. I would be laughing my ass off and counting my blessings that I am not with him anymore
She should be upset lmao. Wearing a ring that was yours first. Wouldn’t sit right with me tbh
I’d let her wear it. She looks real dumb wearing it. It wasn’t bought for her and obviously her man don’t care enough to buy her a new one.
I wouldn’t care at all! How cheap and tacky of him to give his new girlfriend a ring another woman wore for years and how dumb of her to flaunt it I’d be embarrassed to do something like that and pissed off if someone gave my their ex’s ring😂 that’s a sad situation but not for you.
She should feel humiliated sense he dont think enough of her to buy her a new one.
Its tacky yes, but if you gave it back then its no longer “yours”. Let it go. You dont need that ring to remember the good times when you have two kids together. Let them be the proof that it wasn’t all bad.
I’d definitely point it out to her. Like “umm I wore that for blah years. Can’t believe he recycled it lol”
Why bother? Do you tell your current boyfriend
all your exes?
If I was this new gf I’d be pissed that I’m not worth enough to him to have a ring of my own without any ties and memories to someone else. She’s just petty and he’s a dumbass
Hahahahaha I would be laughing my ass off at both of them , me personally i would rather a new ring because it just shows he is either not willing to buy me a brand new one to actually show he loves me ,( I’m not engaged or married ) but if I was to ever get engaged and if it was from an ex I would literally laugh and leave his ass. Me and my partner have been together for 6 years and have two kids together.
No!! To simplify this situation you are not the one to feel any type of way about this… The new woman however, she is the one that should feel pissed(if she had any dignity that is) for accepting a ring from his ex… In the end feel blessed because you really dodged a bullet!!!
Why would you even care! She’s got your hand-me-downs.
You are jellous and you know it as you said it represents the good times you had,let it go she’s the one getting the hand me downs now that’s awkward
You shouldn’t care what he does with it. Be thankful you are not her!!! Shame on him for not buying her a new one I would Never wear another womens ring unless it was his moms or grandmothers!!!
Nope…im sure we would all feel the same way. I think your hurt by what you wanted never coming to pass. Having kids makes things even harder…i think it has nothing to do with the ring…and all to do with promises he didnt keep. Nobody goes into a relationship and hopes it fails. Im sorry your hurt. I think you should admit to yourself your hurt by it…and allow what ever you feel…to surface…this will help you heal your heart, mind and spirt. Your kids dont need jewelry that symbolizes your hurt…they need a healthy and happy mom. Prayers for your peace.
I would honestly be upset if I were her.
My petty ass would be like “lets see that ring again…oh looks just like the one i wore for years” lmaoo then hell get in trouble and itll be funny lol im jk though id be too chicken to actually do that itd be funny tho
Get over it and move on You got what you wanted let it end. She’s got it now let her enjoy him
It’s hard to release the sentimental feelings, I get that. Rubbing in your face shows her true colors and possibly her insecurities. If you have a good relationship with her and your ex, maybe just put a seed out there and say to them both “when are you going to get her a ring she can call her own? She deserves better then a hand me down” like you’re actually trying to do her a favor and hopefully you don’t have to see your ring on her finger anymore.
He’s a cheap ass and she’s a dumb ass!
You’d think that he’d feel like a fucking idiot doing that in the first place and if she knew that it were you’rs at one stage why the fuck would she want it
I wouldn’t be upset at all. It ain’t my ring and I would laugh at the thought another girl would be proposed to with a ring that has already been there done that.
Oh no no no she should not except that ring!!! That’s bad luck for them also! If she said yes and wearing it!! Oh my I would be upset or mad myself!
Girl, move on! His girlfriend should be the on in rage. How disrespectful. Then again, maybe that all he has. Let the man live.
It’s tacky. And cringe worthy. Does she know? I would never accept an exes ring. Screw that.
I would be upset ONLY because you had already discussed turning it into a necklace for yourself or saving it for your boys. That means it was spoken for, in my opinion and that he didn’t have a right to give it away without asking you first. The ring is 100% symbolic of your relationship and time spent together, so saving it for your children or re-purposing it into a keepsake for yourself seems very appropriate. To give it away to someone else feels thoughtless- like the original story and family created and symbolized with it isn’t important anymore.
Wait she flaunts it in a disrespectful way???
She should be upset
She got your hand me downs anyway
Insecure women take second seat and wear other’s rings. I would take the high road but be pissed off as all hell.
Its tacky as hell and the other woman is actually who should be pissed.
She should be mad he have her a ring that from a previous relationship. Is she not worth a new ring, Just for her? That’s the question she should be asking.
I’d laugh she got my hand me downs and he couldn’t even get her one just for her SHE should be the mad one not you
No I’d just let it go the past is past n at least your on civil friendly terms
I would have kept it to begin with. A gift is a gift and its mine to keep.
Let it go.
Not good memories
- Be glad you left him. You obviously made the right choice.
- The fact she loves that it was once yours and now flaunts it means she’s the perfect match for him. That’s weird. If a man ever EVEN TRIED to give me a used ring they would have to drain the lake I dumped his body in to find the ring again.
You are made of a much higher quality material then his new one. The ignorance of the two of them astounds me. Move on, don’t sweat it. Bigger and better things are coming your way.
I’d be more upset as the fiancé if I was given an engagement ring from another relationship
It’s not your ring. You called the engagement off. You shouldn’t be upset. And who cares where or who had the ring first. Get over it. Hes moved on. Let her have and enjoy her life with him. Dont be petty. Why would you want a ring or a piece of jewelry from someone you aren’t spending forever with. The ring is none of your business and who he gives it to isnt your business either.
Dont let it affect you, shows hes a cheap ass
Id be more pissed if I were her!
I’m petty… I would’ve been like aw it definitely looks prettier on you than it ever did on me” hahahaha
I wouldn’t be upset! I’d feel sorry for my ex and his new relationship bc that’s a HUGE no no.
I think the new fiance should refuse and ask for her own ring its a bit tacky on both her and the exs part just saying
Seems you’re the only one that came out a winner…you’re free of him, he lost you, shes stuck with him now. I do not think I would be able to keep a straight face knowing that he’s too cheap or doesn’t care enough to buy her her own ring…& bless her heart she doesn’t have enough self respect to expect more from him.
I get the sentimental aspect (I have my wedding ring from my first marriage for my daughter), but honestly your boys might or might have even cared about it when they were older.
Although this must be some helluva ring.
It’s ok sis, you can have a twinge if sad but then wash your hands of it & move on.
You returned the ring, it is not yours. It now belongs to your ex. However he chooses to use it is entirely up to him. No matter how tacky you feel it is, that is the trueth of it
Should have kept it for yourself in the first place. And he’s lame for using the same ring. I wanna know if she knows its your old ring…??
No you don’t because an engagement ring is only yours if you follow through with a marriage. It’s gross of him to reuse it and if I were her I would be repulsed to put someone else’s ring on my finger. Consider yourself lucky that you are free of someone who clearly has no class.
I can’t believe she would actually want or wear it knowing he gave it to someone else first.
Yeah girl I’d be upset. For sure.
But the real question is- how is she not pissed off too I can’t help but to wonder if maybe they fight about it in private lmao
Ignore them !! It’s very tacky!!
I can’t imagine her wanting it.
I had that happen…new gf actually wanted it…so I smashed it n told him give it to her now
Kinda shows how cheap he can be.
That’s a little gross on his behalf, I don’t think she will appreciate getting your used jewelry…he could have hocked it at least and bought a new one but that’s just weird
Ew if I were her I would have thrown that back in his face!
I just wonder why u gave it back
You gave HIS ring back to him. It’s now back in his possession, to do with, as he sees fit. If you wanted it because of the sentimental value, you should have kept it.
He’s gross and she’s an idiot for accepting it
First of all, why is that ring out of your finger?! I’m not asking why you gave it back or the reasons. Just out of respect that man should have let the ring on your finger, let you keep it. You’re the mother of his kids. The big question here is, how did the gf react? If she’s also friends with you, then she’s as cheap as he is. Some actions are done or can’t be done just out of respect for someone. They clearly don’t get that.
I find it hilariously disgusting that his girlfriend would want a hand me down engagement ring😂
She must be one classless woman!!And he obviously doesn’t care enough to buy her a unused ring:disappointed:
Tell her you had sex with that ring on …omg then seriously though I been through same as you same years…same however I was not friends w my x’s girlfriend infact she kept mine for spite he gave it to her for spite to hurt me…an it hurt an you say no feelings your confused you just been through hell so you forgot that love cuz I did too sometimes I feel it but then it goes because of that bad stuff but I swayed through the bs…so now…you may realize you do love him you just dont like him…an hes moved on so it makes it easier for you to distant your feelings an move forward you knew what hurt you and you gave ring back cuz it’s what loyal honorable women do just like me however I got our rings…first set anyway …he bought wedding rings 4 years after we were married lol but a very emotional divorce after 21 years …a mess but I think yah better spill the beans or look a0t it differently your friend is honoring you an yr xs memories an shes loving every minute of you:joy: she fr might be jealous of you friend or not! Good luck sorry yr heart broken I feel for yah
Daaamn now that’s f’d up
I wouldn’t be mad if i was you. That man and his ring don’t owe me nothing. I would be mad if I was the gf fuck that shit.
Did you give him back your engagement ring
Why you going to be upset girl? I’d be upset if I was the girlfriend, he didn’t even think she deserved her own ring
Id remind her of the kids conceived while i wore it. See how proud she is then.
I would be more upset if i was her. She’s got your cast off’s hun,he obviously doesn’t think much of her if he is giving her your ring.
Hell I gave mine to my ex so he can give it to her and he did but he bought it from someone that stole it and I would never wear it and it offended him so stupid b**** is wearing my ring that I refused to wear that he bought from someone that stole it and they got together a week after her husband died Tina black Wiggins are you out there hore
Meh, let her have it if shes wants to flaunt a second hand ring that wasnt meant for her then let her … he obvioudly doesnt care enough to go buy her a new ring ,so i wouldnt worry id probably just laugh cause thats as trashy as it gets
.no way in hell id accept a ring off my man if it once belonged to his ex ,its cheap and I’d be offended. But Why did you give it back? he shouldve let u keep it . They both sound like trash just let it go, and it probably does bother her if shes not cheap but she doesnt want you to know that .
Yeah, that’s weird lol
Personally if anyone should be upset I think it should be the new girlfriend!!! When you called it off it was his ring to fo whatever he wanted to with. You need to just let it be.
Gross and you should pity her for accepting it!
You shouldn’t feel sad but you shouldn’t have given it back ( I wouldn’t).
It’s probably weird cos it’s like if you had a really nice dress that you always wore and gave it to someone else and you then see them wearing it ( cos it doesn’t fit or something) It just feels a bit weird and strange cos it was yours before. It’s probably that. Don’t stress it’s normal
Naahhh the ring means nothing. Once the relationship ends so does all the materialistic things as well!!
I would just mention to her that the ring was yours
Nah. Make good with yourself and light a sage bundle
Nah that’s just weird he gave it to her. It’s even weirder she doesn’t have any problem with wearing the same ring you did.
No,you didn’t want it so it’s his to pass on,besides better off without him he’s moved on so should you
I feel bad for her. It’s like sloppy seconds.
ok well I would let her know that
It’s ok to be emotional about it! Feel it & let it go!
Wow… Super tacky IMO but let it go, it is the past and another reason he is your ex 🤷
Honestly if I was HER I wouldn’t be ok with it.
If I was the gf I’d be wierded out unless she doesn’t know but I feel that’s tad disrespectful
No just no. I can’t believe that she knows it was yours and she is ok with wearing it.
