For love or money: Kamloops man loses bid to recoup engagement ring, money from former fiancée

A Kamloops man hoping to recover almost $100,000 from his former fiancée has come away from B.C. Supreme Court empty-handed.

The man — identified only as Mr. S. — was asking for $85,000 he had "loaned" the woman when they were still romantically involved and for the return of a $17,000 engagement ring.

Mr. S. contended he deserved to be compensated, because the marriage never went through.

But in his ruling, Justice Murray Blok dismissed both claims, determining that Mr. S. had no expectation of repayment after the break-up because both the ring and money were given to the woman — identified only as Ms. R. — as unconditional gifts.

The good news is he will live happily ever after! (as long as he stays single)

Mark up on diamond engagement rings is insane, between what they actually worth & what retailers charge.
Just live with each other, and screw with expense & stress.

I feel bad for him. I guess the "S" in Mr. S stands for sucker.

He made a couple of mistakes but the best one was asking her to return the ring to help pay for her daughter's wedding. That sure didn't help his case.

Feel bad for him ?
Did you not read the reason that his fiancée broke up with him ?
He forced himself on her after she told him to stop - that is rape.

Then she should have charged him as well.

A win for the modern day feminists movement?
