Imagine finding out that your high school sweetheart cheated on you with your own brother! That’s what happened to our protagonist, who emotionally disowned his brother and moved on with his life. Years later, he found love with Tasha (29f), and their relationship has been going strong. When he decided to propose to Tasha, he asked his mom for her grandmother’s ring, but his brother’s girlfriend, Kelly, objected. This led him to create a list comparing Tasha and Kelly, sparking a family feud.

Ring Drama Ignites Family Feud
When our protagonist asked for his mom’s grandmother’s ring to propose to his girlfriend Tasha, he didn’t expect his brother’s girlfriend, Kelly, to object. Kelly, who cheated on him with his brother in high school, claimed she deserved the ring and even listed reasons why Tasha wasn’t a good fit. In retaliation, he made a list of reasons why Tasha was better than Kelly and sent it to her privately. Now, Kelly’s friends and family are berating him, and he’s left wondering if he’s in the wrong. ✍️ Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
