Lol at the tinfoil hat people losing their shit about the validity of a diamond.
We know its bullshit, but the engagement ring I bought my wife made her very excited. It was worth it (it was also no more than a decent set of wheels, which are equally as vain and unnecessary.)
I can't believe she'd want to keep the ring after you break up. What the fuck is she going to do with it? Wear it still?
Every time I have ever come across this, usually the ring is handed back as part of the mutual break up.

same sex marriages are something like 1 in 7

I don't know about the ring OP, but you might want to think about switching teams from now on KappaPride

I'm enjoying reading all of this. Ring was honestly just sold to another couple on CL for $4100, split the money with her basically. Trust me, i wasn't happy about it simply because of her selfish attitude regarding all i do for her after the fact. You really fucking find out about a person only after you break up with them i have found. :) :thumbsup:

I imagine you are putting a bit of dry humour in there, but I can assure you there are a lot less long term same sex couples getting married which can account for a lot of that statistic.
