Woman reject's fiancé's mother's ring because it's 'cursed.' BF won't speak to her.
When this bride to be is rude about her engagement ring, she asks Reddit:
'AITA for not wanting my bfs ‘family’ ring and ruining the start of a tradition?'
My 20f bf 22m wants to get engaged and wants me to have his mothers ring. Only thing is his father cheated on his mother and remarried. It’s a lovely ring but i feel like it's kind of cursed. I don’t want that ring to be mine considering the past and it’s value for the relationship.
i know it may seem “small” or “in the past” but i just feel like it’s the same as offering a piece of your parents relationship into our future and their relationship was not positive. I just don’t want that ring. I'm okay with a 25¢ ring.
My bf is upset and says i’m looking too deep and i’m ruining the start of a nice tradition to pass down the ring. i told him there’s no pride in passing down that ring as the vows placed on it were broken.
He hasn’t spoken to me since. I’m really trying to see it from his pov but it feels like a slap in the face to offer me that ring. AITA?
Let's find out.

NTA, it’s not even an established tradition.
Would you be interested in having the stones taken from her ring to make a new one?
hunterdawn agrees:
NTA! Not even one little bit!
My parents divorced a few years ago and my dad gave me a necklace he had gifted my mom on an anniversary but she didn't wear too much and both my fiance and I were uncomfortable with me wearing it because their marriage ended and it was something we weren't comfortable with... that was just a necklace.
I would never accept a ring from a broken marriage and you are not in the wrong for not wanting to.
The fact that he isn't speaking to you is a bit of a red flag because it kinda shows that he will shut you out if you don't get on board with his plans even if they make you uncomfortable... proceed with caution.
