His Fiancée Broke Off Their Engagement, So He Asked For Her Ring Back And Said She Can’t Live With Him Anymore
When engaged couples break up before getting married, it can be extremely sad. When it happens, the couple usually does everything they can to avoid each other and start fresh.
One man recently upset his ex-fiancée after he told her that she had to move out of his home and give him back his ring because she ended their engagement.
He and his ex-fiancée were engaged for a little while before she started complaining that they hardly saw each other because of his job. He works at his family’s restaurant, and while he may not work the most traditional hours, he still has days off and opportunities to see and spend time with her daily.
“I don’t work Sundays or Mondays, and I get to spend time with her Tuesday mornings and Saturday mornings before I go to work,” he explained.
“She felt that we barely saw each other, which is a lie. She’s been wanting me to find a new job because she felt it wasn’t fair she worked longer hours than I did.”
He often argued with his ex-fiancée about this, as she failed to recognize how frequently he saw her daily and would rather he get a new job than try to adjust her hours herself.
He even offered to get her a good job at his family’s restaurant so that they’d work similar hours and see each other all the time, but she declined, stating she didn’t feel comfortable working for his parents.
“I accepted that, and she’d still complain from time to time, but I never thought she’d break up with me for it,” he admitted.
“Well, she did. I thought we were past it, but I was wrong. When she broke up with me, I was hurt. She was apologizing but told me that with our work schedules, she didn’t see how we could get married.”

His ex-fiancée told him it would be best if they remained friends, and things got super awkward, especially because they lived together in his home.
She stuck around for a while after their breakup, and although he tried avoiding her, it became too difficult, as his house wasn’t big enough for that. He came to the realization that he shouldn’t have to feel uncomfortable in his own home.
Eventually, he told his ex she’d have to move out of his house and give him back his engagement ring since their wedding was off. He told her there was no point in her living with him or wearing the ring he got for her as a proposal to marry her.
His ex protested, arguing against his reasoning and insisting she at least keep her engagement ring since he gave it to her.
However, he stood his ground, and after nine days of back and forth, she moved out and gave him back the ring. She moved in with her parents but was sure to guilt-trip him before leaving.
“She said that she had a legitimate reason to call off our engagement and that she shouldn’t be made homeless because of it,” he recalled.
“I don’t fault her for calling off our engagement. I just wish she would have told me sooner.”
Was he wrong to ask his ex to leave his house?
