I've never done anything like this before writing on a forum but I just am at the end of my tether and I'm bit sure what to do
I've been in a relationship for 5 plus years with someone and when we decided to get engaged it all went sour
when asked to choose the ring I wanted I have to be honest it wasn't expensive by any means but to me it was beautiful he decided he wanted to get it engraved before he proposed and hid it in his car for safe keeping as we were going to take a long drive to the coast that weekend
His sister had overheard us one the phone talking about getting engaged and blurted it out to his mum who when he came downstairs later said so your sister tells me your getting engaged please tell me you haven't got her pregnant (which when I was told this made me feel awful)
a couple of days before hand he had showed his younger sister she was 25 at the time and mother the ring he described how his younger sister playfully kept pretending to steal it and put it on her own finger which when I heard that set alarm bells ringing the next night his younger sister forgot to padlock the gate and her bike was stolen along with the ring the cars back door was found open in the morning she had asked a couple of days beforehand where he was keeping it and he told her
Police gave a crime ref and dusted for prints but nothing came of it.His suspicion has always been towards his younger sister as money,dvds,cigarettes and food.had gone missing from his bedroom in the past
fast forward 3 years later after a bust up with her drug dealing boyfriend that side of the family mum dad and sister decided to pack up and move over 100 miles away we were invited to a goodbye brunch at a restuarant at the end of the brunch when everyone was saying there goodbyes his mum takes him to one side and places a ring into his hand it was a god awful looking thing and he came back to the car and said mum wants you to have this as she was clearing things out and thought you would like it is this his mum finally after years of denial finally admitting her daughter stole the engagement ring??
There is however another possible answer as there are always two sides to every story and as he has been caught out by myself lying before is this another whopper ??
