This is a very tough question. I think it would be best if I give him back to him. Accepting the ring is like accepting the proposal unless he gives me a ring for just some petty reason. I will keep the ring because it's a gift but an engagement ring, I will return back.

I wouldn't keep it either. it would remember me of him so if I still had feelings for him this it would only make things worse for me and make me feel really bad. so i think I would return the ringt to him. is better like that. this way we could both move on and be happy with somebody else.plus if I start a new relationship my new boyfriend would ask me hey baby...why do you have an engagement ring on your finger? what could I answer...nothing special I was engaged to somebody else we broke up and I kept the ring. I guess he would feel really hurt. I would feel too if I were in his position

I guess when it comes to ending a relationship, it's not really that appropriate to still wear it even if you already found a new love or not. It's just a means of keeping it and later realize that you have to give it back or throw it away.

I think i don't like to keep the ring after breakup . As the relation is over. Even though i love gold.

An engagement ring is a symbol of promise. it is the promise of a relationship of the future with the one you love. If that relationship falls apart, i dont think it is fair to the other person to hold on to the engagement ring any longer. It would just give them false hope.

why would you want to? it would be like your holding on to the past by keeping it... i say either give it back and if he doesnt want it sell it!
