Father wants my heirloom ring back to gift to his new GF

[MRB21]

Don’t know why I’m posting this really but I feel at a loss of what to do. My grandmother died 10 years ago and approximately 4 years ago my dad gave me my grandmothers wedding ring as a gift. I have worn it everyday ever since until my hands were swollen due to pregnancy and it still doesn’t fit comfortably yet but it would be going back on. My father asked me for it back because he wants to give it to his new GF who he has been dating for 6 months (she never met my grandmother). Firstly the ring holds massive sentimental value to me and is the only thing I have of my grandmothers. Secondly should I be giving this back for him to regift to a woman who I / he barely knows? I feel upset that he would take it back to regift it when it’s so cherished by me. What are people’s thoughts please? Am I being overdramatic about it? Should I just give it back to him?

Do not give it to him.

Do you know the new girlfriend and is she a decent woman? Because if I were her, and you told me he had done this, then i’d be on your side and I’d be telling him that your grandmother’s ring stays with you and I don’t want it as a gift. It’s an insane gift for just 6 months in and he’d be told to leave you alone, and told that even 10 years in, I wouldn’t want it. It’s yours.

Fuck. That.

I agree with the consensus, @MRB21 - your dad has no right to ask for a gift back, and you should definitely keep the ring.

It sounds awfully as if he wants to look generous to his new girlfriend, by giving her jewellery but doesn’t want to cough up the cash. Whether or not this is the case, you have every right to keep the ring.

Nope. He gave it to you as a gift. You cannot have gifts back once they are given, it becomes the property of the person it is given to. It belongs to you. Also, who do you think your grandmother would want to have it.

it’s outrageous that he’s asking for it back. Crass and cruel

Ignore me I misread the op
It's definitely yours op

This would be a good one for the CF thread. Absolutely not, and if you do for any reason, make sure you tell her!

No. My much loved Grandma left me a ring in her will that my mother also liked and asked me for. I said no.

Has your father always been a jerk or only since he started thinking with his dick?

No!

Absolutely not
Your grandma would presumably prefer to keep it in the family

No it was gifted to you and your grandmother would want family like you to have it, not someone who never knew her. Stick to your guns because once it’s gone, you’ll never get it back.

Is he going to propose to her with it???

Absolutely not.

Absolutely not. And make sure it’s hidden out of sight when you’re not wearing it!

This^
I wouldn’t even mention what he is going to do with the ring - it doesn’t matter, the ring is now yours.

Just say no! It stays in the family and passes down the female bloodline. I cannot believe you are giving his request headspace.

But you’ve lost it 😉

Ask him who your GM would rather had it....her grand daughter or his new squeeze.

No way, no.how and no chance. It is a family ring and should stay with you

Nope definitely do not give it to him

ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT!!!!

What an utter knob even asking you for it 😱

Big fat no from me

Is he usually a feckless shite? No is a complete sentence.

Absolutely not OP!
