So, this has turned into a huge family fight, and I need to know if I’m in the wrong here.

My grandmother left me her engagement ring in her will. It’s a beautiful vintage piece, very sentimental to me, because I was extremely close with her growing up. I’ve kept it safely stored for years.

Here’s where things get messy: My older brother (30M) is planning to propose to his girlfriend (28F) and recently asked if he could have our grandmother’s ring. He said it would mean a lot to him to keep it in the family, and that his girlfriend loves vintage rings.

I told him no. This ring was left to me, and I intend to either keep it or use it for myself someday. He got really upset, saying I was being selfish and that it’s “just sitting in a box” while he has an actual use for it. My parents sided with him, saying that as the eldest, it should have gone to him anyway, and that I’m being difficult for no reason.

Things escalated when my brother said I was “hoarding” the ring out of spite and that I should want it to stay in the family. I told him I do—it’s staying with me. Now, he’s barely speaking to me, and my parents keep texting me about how hurt he is.

AITA for refusing to give up the ring?
