Stepmom Goes On Rampage After Her Soon-To-Be "Son-In-Law" Engages Her Step Daughter With Ring That Isn't Hers

by Maryjane

Everybody enjoys a good proposal story, and after you are engaged, you won't be able to avoid the influx of inquiries from people who want to know everything about it. While it might be enjoyable to recreate the experience, doing it again may cause some of the enthusiasm from the memory to fade.

Certain intimate details, including the words exchanged between you and your prospective spouse, can be kept private. What other people think of your proposal story doesn't matter; it's unique since it's yours.

However, today's engagement story has a pretty twist to it. The OP had discussed getting engaged to his girlfriend before.

They planned for what they wanted it to look like and what they wanted marriage to look like for them. One thing OP's fiancée, Kaylee, was upfront about was that she would love to have her mom's engagement ring.

Her maternal grandparents had it since her mom was terminally ill, and they kept it for her. Kaylee has a stepmom, and she wanted the OP to propose to Kaylee with her own ring.

The problem here is that Kaylee doesn't view her as a stepmother or a real parent to her. She tolerates her because she does not want to lose her dad.

In fact, she would rather get engaged without a ring than have one from her stepmother. Read the full story to find out what happens next.

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the a-hole:

I told my fiancée's stepmother that my fiancée did not want her engagement ring. While this is true, it might have been the wrong thing to say to her face and to say it with such certainty because I think it hurt her feelings and embarrassed her and it definitely made tensions rise on both sides of this.

The OP left this in the comments

I'm not upset she didn't want a new ring. There is so much symbolism in using her mom's ring and it makes her so incredibly happy. I do understand some would want something new and just theirs. But I also understand why it meant so much to her.

The meaning behind an engagement ring is the shared bond. Some Redditors said that it's unfortunate that the OP's fiancée doesn't just wear her mother's ring as a memento of their connection.

However, using the ring, which she obviously loves and holds in such high regard, is never a bad idea so her stepmother should be able to handle it. The OP's list of worries should be the stepmom and he was declared not the AH.
