Hello All,
Talking to a friend last night and she revealed that when her DH argues with her .... and it gets nasty.... he asks for the ering back.....

I sort of thought this was very strange.....

Any similar tales here?

:confused1: In 19 years, never. Don't think it would occur to him to try to take back the most visible talisman of his love & commitment. Symbols can be powerful things & messing with this one is not a good sign IMO.

hmm... i don't think he can ask for it back, legally... isn't an e-ring a gift? If they didn't get married, i think the man can get the e-ring back...but if she went and actually married him, doesn't that fulfill the promise?

Anyway... he sounds like an immature dumba**. She should leave him, hock the ring & buy something else with the $$.

I don't even know what I would do if my fiance ever asked for the ring back. He very well might get it back if those words ever came out of his mouth!

Absolutely NOT.

I've heard of spouses threatening divorce during arguments, too, which I find unspeakably horrifying. Divorce is deadly serious - the shattering of a family - not a threat to be tossed around. The word should never be spoken unless it is a reality.

Either one of those things happening would be a dealbreaker for me. Anyone who would do either would clearly NOT be the right person for me.

asking for it back is low. that's not the thing you even joke around about. even threatening divorce no matter how heated an argument gets is something that reflects really poorly on his character.
