So here's a question for you women, would you give back the ring? Me personally, I think he's a idiot to begin with for buying any women a 73K ring. And then in the article he says that she was he "equal". It didn't sound equal to me, it sounds like he was doing all the spending and she was going for the ride.

Men being the spenders, the ones who propose marriage, the ones who buy the ring, etc. it's just how it goes specially in the west.
A gift is a gift, don't see why someone would ask for a gift to be returned. Now, an engagement ring has a different meaning. A symbol of engagement, promise, etc. If she broke this engagement, promise, etc. then I would expect her to also return the ring. A woman being totally fine about returning something of such monetary value? Yeah right. It’s like a woman marrying a millionaire and being fine with a prenup.

I have no problem with that, but 73k! I wouldn't have bought it for the exact same reason of what happend to this guy.
I would absolutely give it back. An engagement ring is not a gift like say, a bunch of flowers or French perfume. It is a promise and expectation of a soon to be contractual agreement. The agreement is now off, give the thing back.
When my first husband I divorced we had shared property. I refused to take any part of that property because it was given to him by his parents. I was within my legal right to take a share but I felt it was ethically wrong. I also gave back the engagement ring because it had belonged to his Mother and I felt it would be in poor taste to keep it.
She should absolutely return the ring!
The marriage never took place and she was the one to break off the engagement.
I would say it's absolutely clear cut in this case.
Now if the marriage HAD taken place then my opinion (depending on the circumstances) would probably be different. But in this case she should have returned it immediately upon calling off the wedding.
I think there's a lot more to this story. Heck, she only broke off the engagement a little over two weeks ago. Unless I'm not reading the story correctly?
