Unfortunately, though, her boyfriend did not agree with that at all, and the couple ended up getting into a massive argument.
In fact, her boyfriend accused her of being a total jerk and claimed that she was treating his daughter differently just because she was not blood.
Honestly, though, she admits that she might feel otherwise about the entire situation if her relationship with her soon-to-be stepdaughter were different.
“Things might be different if I actually had a relationship with her. But I don’t. I have only met her once in person, and honestly, I don’t know her that well,” she explained.
On top of that, she pointed out how her boyfriend’s daughter has no sentimental attachment to the ring. Her biological daughter, on the other hand, definitely will– since the ring would have belonged to both her great-grandmother and grandmother.
So, since she is unwilling to budge over the ring debacle, she basically told her boyfriend that if he ever proposed to her with the ring, then she would just return the heirloom to her dad for safekeeping.
But now, ever since that argument, she has still been left wondering whether refusing to hand down her grandmother’s engagement ring to her future stepdaughter makes her a jerk or not.
Is it understandable why she planned to give her daughter the engagement ring down the line? Why do you think her boyfriend expected her to give the engagement ring to her soon-to-be stepdaughter if they do not even have a relationship? Do you think her boyfriend is wrong in this scenario? How would you handle the situation?
