Hi!
As you can see, I live in Canada but I trust the rules that govern my subject-matter, are Continental in coverage.
'Been engaged for three (3) years and our situation is being terminated, mutually. Whose responsibility is it, to tackle the ring situation, re is it asked-for by me or, should "she" offer it back to me? If push comes to shove, am I supposed to diplomatically demand it back? Materially, it cost about $2500.00 and I would return it to the jeweller where I purchased it, and attempt to acquire the best refund, possible. No, I would not give it to anyone else, ever! (There is NOT a "someone- else" involved in all this, either.)
Thanks for your HELP!
I have consulted with my panel of experts on this one, and I can safely say that the ring should be returned to the original purchaser, namely, you. There are a number of exceptions to that, however. If you owe your formerly beloved a large sum of cash, or if you were a major dick to her (mega-major dick, ie, you slept with her sister, or her dog, or her sister's dog or something), she may have justification for keeping it. However, if it was the natural souring of a relationship, you get the ring. Use force if necessary. Angstrom says "Take the whole finger if you have to." That pretty much sums it up.
Hi, again!
Where, on the Net, might I possibly meet (correspond with) a woman of my similar age and interests AND who lives in Ontario, Canada?
Thanks!
I'm glad you asked, because this has come up on a number of different
occasions and I just want to speak my mind on it.
DON'T DO IT! I cannot stress this enough. There
are some things that the net is good for, such as wasting huge amounts
of your time, or finding parts for your busted Amiga. Finding a relationship
is NOT one of those things.
Here's why- People are completely different online than in person. They don't act the same, talk the same, walk the same, have sex the same, or any other trait you can think of. You build up this mental picture of what the person is like without the advantage of the real world, where you can actually see what the person is like. Then, when you actually go out and meet this person, they're completely different, and you wind up asking me stupid questions like "Do I get the ring back, or what?"
The way to find women of similar age and interests who live near you
is to go out and find women who live near you with similar interests
and are about your age. (I should write user manuals for
Microsoft)
Go for a walk, say hi to the women you meet. Go out with friends. Buy
a puppy and hang out in parks on nice days. Buy a ski mask and hang
out in parking structures at night. Just get the fuck away from
your computer and do not use it in some pitiful attempt to find a mate.
Please. I beg of you.
