If you break the engagement, she keeps the ring.

If she breaks the engagement, she returns the ring.

The ring is a promise of future marriage.

Many people sue in small claims court over engagement rings. Judges hate this.

If your relationship is not going well, consider it a valuable life lesson and move on.

Go into counseling so you don't hook up with a lady like this again. You need someone to teach you the warning signs of a toxic relationship.
