Hey again reddit. I posted a bit ago about my grandma giving me her wedding ring during a really emotional family dinner then asking for it back months later to give to my cousin who just got engaged.

So after my post blew up i was flooded with people saying i wasn’t the asshole and that the ring was mine to keep. I felt so seen because for WEEKS my entire family had been calling me selfish, dramatic and even manipulative for not giving it back and one aunt even told me i was “taking advantage of an old woman’s memory loss” (which side note grandma has never been officially diagnosed with anything she just conveniently “forgets” things when it benefits her)

BUT after sitting with it for a while I decided to give the ring back.

Before y’all scream at me i didn’t do it because i felt guilty i did it because i realized i didn’t want that energy anywhere near me. I don't want cursed vibes 💅

So i gave it back and i handed it to grandma, smiled and said “i hope she appreciates this as much as i did and y’all she looked SURPRISED. not thankful, not emotional just weirdly smug. like she “won” and then she had the nerve to say “I’m glad you came to your senses after all.”

I almost took the ring back out of pure spite right there.

Fast forward to now….
My cousin’s wedding is next month and it’s turning into a full blown disaster. They planned this huge extravagant thing with like custom floral arches matching outfits for the dog, some TikTok aesthetic nonsense but apparently they’re broke now and vendors are ghosting them. What made it even funnier was that my cousin waited so long to start planning that every decent venue in town was already booked. Now they’re scrambling, calling up random places like it’s a last minute birthday party. I heard they even considered doing it in someone’s backyard and just “making it cute with fairy lights.” girl be serious. Anyway now they’re spiraling and blaming everyone except themselves. Meanwhile I’m ring free and drama free and sleeping great at night.

Thanks to everyone who hyped me up on the first post. You helped me keep my sanity.
