This Reddit drama involves serious witchcraft. The bride to be does not get a long well with her new mother in law. This is pretty standard behavior. What isn't so normal - is the fact that her MIL likes to over stay her welcome and snoop around her stuff. The MIL took her snooping too far and took her daughter in law's engagement ring without asking. When the bride asked where it was, MIL was acting sketchy and claimed she couldn't remember where she brought it to be cleaned. The bride got creative and said the ring was cursed by her grandmother in Brazil. MIL gets totally freaked. Is this a cruel prank or did MIL totally deserve it? You and the moral judges of Reddit can decide.

    Font - AITA for telling my soon-to-be MIL that my engagement ring is cursed?

    Font - I (F26) just got engaged. My soon to be MIL is a nightmare. We are currently renovating a part of our place and she has been lent a key in the meantime because she keeps coming over uninvited under the guise of "helping" clean up, but she really just likes to snoop and interfere.

    Font - I do a martial art and take my engagement ring off before class. I came home from an afternoon class one day and my engagement ring was not in the jewellery dish that I usually leave it in. I asked her about it and she told me that she'd taken it to a jeweller to get it cleaned. She looked super smug about it and when I asked which jeweller, she pretended

    Font - she couldn't remember. I didn't want to give her the satisfaction of having a reaction to it so I just let it slide for a couple of days. A couple of days pass and I ask her about it again and she's super vague, still pretending she can't remember which jeweller and saying she's too busy to go pick it up anytime soon.

    Font - So I said, "wow, I really feel for that jeweller... hope nothing happens to her." She asked what I meant, and I told her that my superstitious Brazilian grandmother had performed some traditional ritual on it that's usually known to curse anyone who takes or handles the ring other than the owner. She looked uneasy and asked me a couple more

    Font - questions about this ritual and I made some story up about how my mother's ring had been taken by a burglar who was crushed by a pillar of cement on his way out of the house. (I totally made this entire ritual up and I do have a Brazilian grandmother but obviously she did not do some ritual to my ring.)

    Smile - The next day, my fiancée told me while I was out that she was there to clean up a bit... Lo and behold, I get home (she had already left) and find my ring where I had left it. It didn't look any cleaner than it had before lol.

    Font - A week later, I receive an abusive call from her saying she'd been in a minor car accident and she was blaming me and my "witch doctor" grandmother, saying she was now cursed for having touched it. I passed the phone to my fiancée who tried to calm her down, but she was hysterical. I told my fiancée what I had told her, and he scolded me a bit because we both know how she is and I should have known she'd react this sort of way.

    Font - It's been a further week since then and she refuses to talk to me and keeps slandering me to my fiancée. Overall he sort of recognises how ridiculous she's being, but the drama of the situation is making me wonder if the whole curse tale was taking it a bit too far. So, AITA?

    Font - tnscatterbrain · 11h S 2 Partassipant [4] Nta. That's hilarious. The nerve of her, taking your ring. She deserves the curse. I'm just sorry it's causing trouble for you. I kind of think your fiancé earned it by tolerating her behaviour and not having changed the locks already.

    Font - Jonesin4me· 9h On the other hand, this "curse" thing could work in Op's favor to have MIL stay out of their apartment/house. Maybe even keep MIL from attending the wedding. 4 201 Reply Share
