After their elder sister passed away, a young girl kept her precious ring as a cherished memento. But when her brother gifted that same ring to his girlfriend without asking the young girl, it led to a major family conflict.
A Treasured Keepsake Taken Without Consent
When someone close dies, their belongings often become treasured reminders we hold dear. So, it can feel deeply hurtful when those items are taken without permission.
This is exactly how a 19-year-old girl felt after her 27-year-old brother used her late sister’s ring to propose to his girlfriend — without consulting her.
A Painful Surprise At A Family Event
The girl shared on Reddit that she found the ring among her sister’s things when she was 12 and kept it safe in a small box, only taking it out to feel close to her sister, who died when the girl was just six.
During a recent family gathering, her brother suddenly proposed to his girlfriend using that very ring. Shockingly, their parents knew about it and approved the proposal.
Feeling Ignored And Hurt
“I wish he had asked me before taking it”, the girl said. “It feels like I have no importance”. When she expressed her feelings to her mother, she was told, “Hey, it’s just a ring. Don’t make such a drama”.
The Conflict Unfolds
Unable to bear it, the girl asked her brother to return the ring. He called her selfish and accused her of ruining his proposal, then walked away. Upset, she cried alone, while her mother later demanded an apology, which the girl refused to give.
A supportive cousin messaged her, saying, “You are absolutely right”.
The Ring Returned, But Family Tensions Remain
The girl eventually got the ring back, but her family remains disappointed. Online, many Reddit users expressed sympathy and sided with her, highlighting the importance of respecting sentimental belongings.
