The ring

I'm not sure about this one, definitely need some advice. Seems a bit petty compared to many of the topics here, but I sure could use some advice.

Back when I told my mother I was going to pop the question years ago, she gave me her engagement ring to give to my fiance-to-be to use as her engagement ring.

Do I ask for the ring back? What's the proper protocol here?

If you broke the engagement, she should keep the ring. If she broke it off you should get it back.

Since it's a family "heirloom" if you broke it off, I'd still ask for it back... I hate to say it but maybe for some compensation?? Good Luck.

But if she broke it off, the law is on YOUR side, she has to give it back!!

When my ex-fiance broke it off, I was too distraught to think about the ring. So, I let her keep it (or she probably returned it for all I know). I couldn't stand seeing it anyways after she ended it. But after looking back at how she treated me, I should've asked for it back. Since it was your mother's ring, I would definitely ask for it back. Good luck to you.

We've been married for 9 years now. She's breaking it off and I know she will give it back if I ask. I just don't know if I should.

I think you should ask for it back because of it being a family heirloom. Your children might like to have it one day! If you know she will respect that, I would go ahead and do it.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
