Single sister refuses to give up grandmother's wedding ring to older brother, he accuses her of “hoarding” family heirloom out of spite: ‘[I] have an actual use for it’

Like all things in the realm of weddings, engagement rings can be pretty expensive. While most rings are less than 10K dollars, the American national average is $5500. Many women still expect their future husband to demonstrate their love with a pricey ring made of rare materials or with a giant stone. I've never had expensive jewelry in my life, and I have lost every ring I have ever worn. I was terrified of having something so valuable on my finger at all times. Thus, I begged my fiance to propose to me with a ring under $300. The result was a lovely ring from Etsy with a unique design (two hands holding a flower).

In our story today, a young man searches for a budget-friendly ring option with which to propose to his girlfriend. Instead of looking online or at craft fairs, though, he looks to his single sister who inherited their grandmother's wedding band. Seeing as he's the eldest, and she's not getting married any time soon, he demands she hand it over. Scroll down for all the deets.

Her brother is not gifted in negotiations. If he gives it to his wife, and then they divorce, then the ring doesn't stay “in the family” unless she gives it back!

Are our protagonist's family members simply convinced that she will never get married or something? Just because she doesn't have a “use” for it right now doesn't mean that she won't in the future. The eldest reaching the marriage milestone before his younger sister does not entitle him to her belongings.
