Her Fiancé’s Little Brother Gave Her A Gold Ring He Secretly Bought With His Mom’s Credit Card, And A Love Letter
For several years now, this 21-year-old girl and her 21-year-old fiancé have been together, and for her birthday this year, her fiancé gave her an engagement ring.
Her family and his family were present at her birthday party/surprise proposal, and so were her friends. Her fiancé’s 15-year-old little brother was also there too.
She has really gone out of her way over the years to form a bond with her fiancé’s little brother alongside her fiancé.
Her fiancé and his little brother didn’t have an easy time as kids, and when she first started dating her fiancé, his little brother didn’t talk much at all.
As time has elapsed and she has gone on family vacations with them and spent time watching movies with them, her fiancé’s little brother really started to brighten up.
She has come to honestly enjoy spending time with her fiancé’s little brother, and he’s like her own sibling.
Her fiancé’s little brother has a hard time with their mom, and she says both her fiancé’s mom and dad are not model parents.
Her fiancé’s parents have always played favorites with the boys. Her fiancé’s mom would always get her fiancé a cupcake for his birthday, yet buy his little brother two entire cakes, so you can see who she favors.
Her fiancé’s dad is the opposite: her fiancé is the favorite one there. After her fiancé’s parents got divorced, his little brother has become more neglected by his dad.

But back to her birthdat party: later on that same night, her fiancé’s little brother did something that shook her up.
“Little brother asked to talk to me alone, and that was when he gave me the love note and small ring,” she explained.
“My stomach turned and it felt vile, he could see my reaction and he started shutting down. I returned the ring and said that I loved him like my own little brother and that I knew what a hard time he had with girls and “e-dating” but to wait for his person.”
“I explained that I would always be there for him as a friend, but that won’t change the fact that I love my partner, his brother, and am sticking with him for eternity. I showed him my engagement ring and said that I had just made an important promise to his brother and that I can understand why he felt upset that he didn’t have his person yet.”
Her fiancé’s little brother began sobbing and couldn’t stop. He also refused to look at her, so she knew she was in over her head.
She took the love note, which she didn’t read past line one, and handed it to his mom before filling her in on everything.
She and her fiancé then drove home, and the entire ride was quite awkward. Her fiancé was absolutely livid, and she did her best to calm him down.
She pointed out to her fiancé that his little brother most likely was coming from a desperate place, as he has a whole slew of girls he talks to online and that never goes anywhere for him.
It’s been a couple of weeks since her fiancé’s little brother gave her the love note and ring, and she’s missing the relationship they all shared.
And things have not gotten better, they have gotten worse. Her fiancé’s little brother moved out of his mom’s house and into his dad’s.
“It also turns out the gold ring he offered me was actually bought with his mother’s credit card online and it was actual gold which made his mother go bananas,” she said.
“My partner has made attempts to talk to little brother but I’ve advised him to give it time and that when he does decide to talk to him again that I will not hold this situation over his head and just want things to be enjoyable for us all.”
“Partner’s dad says little brother hasn’t been eating or speaking to anyone he just sits in his room. Last night, partner’s dad found a notebook under his pillow filled with a lot of hateful things about my partner and his family and while I’ve asked my partner not to tell me the details it’s bad enough that his mother and dad are taking him to see a therapist that deals with ‘troubled teens.'”
This has all been really difficult on her and her fiancé, and she doesn’t see how anyone can win. Her fiancé goes back and forth between different emotions, and as for her, she just feels incredibly guilty.
