Before I gave Amelia (my ex) her engagement ring, we made a pact that who ever calls off the wedding or files for divorce the other kept the ring.
She left me and filed for the dissolution. There was a bit of a fight over it but she did honor the agreement and I got the ring back and I still have it, I have pangs of guilt for taking it back every now and then, but my feeling is if she had truly loved me she wouldn't have left the way she did. (Course she's a lesbian now and lives with her lover in Ithaca NY teaching Montessori school.)
As for hocking it or selling it, I got mine at Jared's and when I did try to hock/sell it I found out real fast I would get half cents on the dollar. So that $1,000 ring is worth about $150 (not pawn shop rate a resellers rate, and even then he wouldn't buy it because it was too small, even though it was IGI cert and appraised on there for $1500).

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
