When an engagement goes south....

Luckily I just got married last weekend 🙂

However, one of my friends just had his engagement go down the toilet. He asked her to move out because things weren't going well. She said it was over when she moved. She refused to give back the ring when she moved out. She stole one of his computers saying that it was hers because he let her use it.

Anyways, he is looking to get a lawyer since he looks at it as she broke off the engagement and should give back the ring.

I told him to call the cops and report everything as stolen. He of course is too nice to do that.

I am just happy he got rid of the psycho before he got married and really had everything stolen from him.

Anyone have any advice on the best way for him to recover the ring and computer?
 
get a good lawyer is the girl is gonna be a bitch...but then again once emotions settle she might be more rational.
 
He should report it as stolen and take her to court. I know in NYS unless he gives her the ring on like a holiday such as Christmas or her birthday the ring is rightfully his. I think that that doesn't matter in other states whenever you give it.
 
I went right from dating to pregnancy to marriage...It worked for me and based on the experience I reccomend skipping the engagement altogether.

Engagements gone south are good. Believe me.😀
 
Unless the value of the ring + computer is over the small claims court limit in your area, I would go to small claims court and forget the lawyer.
He needs to write a letter, stateing he wants return of said items, OR THE CASH, by a certain date, send it with signature required or certified, and simply sue her when she doesn't pay.
Have him write that letter tonight and get it in the mail Tuesday.
Small Claims will sort it out.
Then, tell him to get a cat or dog, get him "The 10 Things Men do to screw up their Lives" by Laura Schlesinger. I know... DR LAURA?!?!?!? but she nails it in that book.
< wishes that book was out when I was 20 sumthin' and "in luuuuuv".

Id say chalk it up to a learning experiance, even if he went to court, hes not going to get the ring back. In most states it doesnt matter who breaks it off, the person that recieved it gets to keep it. Some states if the female breaks off the engagement she has to give it back. However in this case any lawyer would easily win by saying he choose to break off the engangement by asking her to move out.
 
Just steal it back. If she reports it as stole and and says it's at his place he can provide receipts and what not.

But honey! If you don't trust me with a diamond ring, you obviously don't love me!😛
 
Luckily? We'll see in about 6-7 years just how "lucky" you were

Well I had dated my wife for 5 years. There was no pressure to get married. We just decided that we were in a good point of our life to get married. We have both seen the worst sides of each other.

We have gone through some really rough times(financially and emotionally) and we survived. I know most married couples think they will last forever but more than half end in divorce. But as is typical with newlyweds, I am optimistic about our future together 🙂


As for my friend. I don't think small claims will cut it. I think the ring was like 4G and when you factor in the computer we are looking at over 5G.

I think that he is stubborn enough that he would be willing to spend 5G to make a point to her. I think he should make her spend as much money as possible in court and get the stuff back.

Yet another young man learns a life-lesson about women. 🙂

Tell your friend to take solace in the fact that this isn't the last time a woman will attempt $hit on him; but at least next time he'll see it coming.

Rule #1 about breaking up w/a girl when you live together: Don't leave her alone in the house for a SECOND after you break the news; she'll steal whatever isn't bolted down and set fire to whatever IS bolted down. Vengeful little creatures...if it wasn't for the fuzzy bunny b/t their legs, they'd be completely useless.
