The ring was given based on an engagement, with of course, the presumption that a marriage would occur.
If you both split, wouldn't that eliminate the reason for the gift inthe first place, therefore placing the gift in some sort of default. Plus, post break up, keeping the ring only sets off reminders of what could have been. Why the need to cary that kind of baggage?
I was engaged once, and after the split, I gave it back. The ring had lost it's meaning to me.
