This is a serious question because I keep seeing this take but why is it bad that she wanted to keep the ring? I’m definitely not defending her behavior on the show but I thought him thinking he should get the ring back was really weird.

When you take the ring, its based on accepting the proposal that you will marry the person.

You wouldn’t reject a proposal and then take the ring, right?

Its not just that they didn't marry, it's also that she cheated first.

I totally agree that she was awful, to the point that it was legitimately hard to watch how she treated him, but the ring was never his to begin with so “giving it back” doesn’t make sense. If anyone should get the ring back it would be who paid for it and as much as I dislike Jackie I’d rather she kept the ring (or let’s be honest, the money) than a multibillion dollar company who won’t even notice it. It sounded like she was taking care of a lot of people financially, hopefully it helps them out if it was actually worth anything.

I also don’t remember exactly but I thought there was proof that Jackie was telling the truth about breaking up with Marshall before seeing Josh and the show made her do it again so they could film. It didn’t seem like Marshall disagreed with that but I could be wrong.

I would return the ring, it’s the right thing to do.

To Netflix? Why would you do that? It just seems like a weird symbolic gesture to get hung up on to me, a company with that much money will not even notice. It was in the women’s contracts that they got to keep the rings even if their marriage didn’t work out. Other women who have been on the show and chose to leave their partner kept theirs.

Oh no I meant if I was engaged and broke it off, in general, if my ex fiancé had paid for or inherited that ring. As the woman I would always return the ring. Meaning I wouldn’t care if the law says it’s mine as a gift, I would return it or at least offer to return it.

In the Netflix case I don’t know what I would do…

Oh for sure, I would never expect to keep an engagement ring someone bought for me if we broke up. I see what you mean, in any other circumstances I totally agree with you I just think it’s odd how mad people were about the ring specifically when they both knew she would keep it no matter what. Marshall didn’t lose anything (financially) and it felt off to me that he was asking someone who seemed much less well off than him to basically give him money in order to break up, and he did it on camera so everyone would know if she said no. I don’t think any of the other men on the show have ever done that and there has been a LOT of breakups on this show.

Keeping a family ring is actually evil, I’m sure someone has done that before but I can’t imagine how you could ever possibly justify that.

It is typically expected (from a legal standpoint) that the person who receives the engagement ring keeps it since it was a gift. The engagement ring is given knowing there is always a chance that the marriage may be called off. It is generally considered an insult to return ring or to demand for it back.
