Maybe I’m a horrible person but I think that this is absolutely hilarious! An you imagine how paranoid this woman will be when she thinks of crossing the daughter in law again ? Lmao
Ikr! She is a genius for coming up with this hahahahaha
Yes this is exactly what I was thinking ! I doubt that she’ll be trying to steal anything else from her future daughter-in-law moving forward!
Ikr! I wouldn't even mention it's a joke for like 3 months while she loses her mind
@@nyaradhiambo I don’t think I will ever tell her that’s it’s just a joke hahahahaha just leave her like that 😂
Agreed
This is not an everyone sucks situation at all the mil STOLE her ring. You can’t take the ring “to get cleaned” and then pretend you don’t remember for weeks. She’s a thief and 100% in the wrong. The issue is the fiancé is clearly not standing up for OP. The story and funny and just proves what the MIL actually did. She’s toxic and should not have a key to the house.
Yeah, the “everyone sucks” conclusion really irks me. Clearly the MIL is a thieving witch and actually deserves to be hexed! I mean but really, no boundaries, no respect, just a disturbing level of toxicity here.
This. The whole time I was irritated at the fiance for not scolding his mother for STEALING the ring. I guarantee you she is going to do EVERYTHING she can to stop their wedding.
@@sallypoe THIS! I honestly get more annoyed at the sons more than the unhinged MILs with these stories. They enable and tolerate their toxic behavior
As a non native English speaker it's actually encouraging hearing native English speakers struggle to pronounce their own language. Like i feel like more of thos should be shared, very glad you didn't edit it out
English is a mess. We’ve taken words from so many different sources - Germanic, French, Spanish, etc. . . There are no consistent rules for spelling and pronunciation. I love English/grammar stuff but dang it’s hard and inconsistent! Props to you for learning! 💕
@@bej7784 this is true but French and Spanish both come from Latin lol
I’m from the USA and oh my gosh. English is ridiculous. Do not ever feel bad about having trouble with English!
I'm born and raised in new Zealand where we speak English and I've been speaking it for 13 years but I still can't speak properly
I hate when English speakers give non native speakers sh*t for messing up the language. Like we don’t know our language is messed up! I looked at “language” a billion times making sure it wasn’t “Luggage” or any of the other numerous words that look alike lol
NTA I’m surprised the son doesn’t say anything to his mother about taking his wife’s ring?! If he doesn’t see a problem with it then girl RUN!
NTA. The MIL did not ask to get the ring cleaned in the first place. Her fiancé needs to put his mom in her place because it’s only going to get worse after they get married.
AGREED
Y’all have completely missed the point here. No matter what MIL’s intentions were with the ring (which were obviously malicious), the ring was NOT HERS TO TAKE. She took it without consent. You can’t kidnap a child and then be like, “I was just taking them out for ice cream; I was bringing them right back!” Whether she was trying to hide the ring to create drama or having diamonds added to it, she should not have taken the ring without permission.
Edit: Ok I just finished the full clip so Lauren did make that point but it took y’all too long to get there 😂
....lol😂wonderful reponse!!! Love it !!! 👋🏾
Exactly! Was thinking the same thing. The MIL didn’t take it to get clean, she was messing with the DIL, she didn’t ask to take the ring, it doesn’t sound like a family heirloom either.
Thank you
Sounds like karma not a ritual for being a nosy toxic person 🙃
Exactly, she shouldn’t have taken the ring in the first place 🤷🏾♀️
These cray MIL stories actually make me more annoyed at their sons! The only reason she is behaving like this is because he allows her to do so. Normalise boundaries with your mums and it’ll save your future spouse a lot of grief 🙏🏽👌🏽
EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING!! Can't stand these mommas boys!
YES
Even if she left it to be cleaned a jeweler would give her a ticket or a receipt or something with the name address and a time to pick it up
I was invited to my boss’s house for a party years ago. She is and was a highly regarded nursing director and I was so nervous. She lent me a coat when it got dark and I accidentally wore it home and washed it just as a courtesy. Early 20’s me had no idea you can’t machine wash kashmir and totally ruined it and couldn’t afford to replace it. I was mortified. We’re still friends 10 years later.
NTA!! The MIL is clearly 100% in the wrong. In reality this was theft - no way around that. Taking an item that is not yours without permission is by definition theft. The fact that MIL couldn't produce a name or receipt for the jeweler is clear proof. She knew that if she made up or gave a name of an actual jeweler the OP would find out about her lie immediately. And as for the whole curse thing, it is hard to take a thief's superstitions seriously - it just becomes comedic.
I’ve had jewelry cleaned many times and it always took just a few minutes. You wouldn’t need to leave it there.
As someone who has jewelers in the family…when you get jewelry cleaned it’s a pretty quick process. Usually takes about 30 min max. I always wait for my jewelry to be finished.
My grandma had a bad habit of forgetting to hang up the phone with people and then she’d talk horribly about whoever she was on the phone with to whoever she was with in person. I confronted her numerous times with no improvement. So I told her I could read her mind and proceeded to repeat all the rude things she recently said about me when she thought I couldn’t hear her. I told her that she better keep the nasty attitude away and my name out of her mouth and I scared her so bad she doesn’t spread rumors about anyone anymore or gossip. 🤣 at least for now
That is precious! But I'm sorry your grandma does that to you 💗
I don't care why she said MIL claimed she took it, don't touch or remove my things from my home without my permission - period. NTA.
Exactly!! And then when I ask for it.. it better be back in my possession asap.
@@audreyagbodjan5338Right? It would have been addressed immediately, I don't like passive aggressive shit lol.
@@diamcole exactly as Kevin hart said "say it with ya chest lil @ss nig..." lol imagine she's at the wedding and they ask if anyone has objections and she speaks up. That could put a whole pause on the wedding
This is so bizarre to me. I would honestly rethink a marriage into a family like this, especially when the fiancé doesn’t stand up to his own mom. WTF I’m just so confused. NTA, it was funny and serves the MIL right for taking something that does not belong to her. How dare she. Take the key away, set boundaries, and tell her to shut it.
NTA if your future spouse can't understand why you told a 'cursed' tale when their mom literally stole the ring without asking, then you shouldn't marry them.
If the MIL wanted to loose the ring, the "jewelers" lost the ring, not the MIL. No one touches engagement rings or dresses without permission and is completely sane. I'm lucky that my future MIL is sane. While she would actually do nice things for everyone, she is aware of boundaries.
This woman is a patron Saint. If anyone, family or not, took one of my rings to 'get cleaned' unprompted and then said 'I'm too busy to go pick up for a bit' and then couldn't tell me what jeweller it was at I would simply call the police
this mil wasn't going to treat her better, let's get real here, most of the time those mil that are awful when you are a bf/gf get worse when you marry their child. The freaking fiance should put his mom in her place, so he is definitely part of the problem. Lastly, the fact that this mil thought she can come in as if the house is hers, and take things as if they are hers is just mind blowing, you touch and take my stuff? hell no, I'm fighting you.
NTA and kinda really funny. True the MIL won't learn anything from this but at that point it sounds like the best approach. What else was she going to do? Anything would have created drama with that MIL.
Latinas for the win!
This story stops at "she took the ring". You dont take peoples stuff without asking, espacially an engagement ring, no matter the reason/intention. NTA
She had the ring for days & why?! She deserves to be worried, karma!
To me the only goal was to get the ring back, not fix how mil treats her or improve it for the future. You can’t fix crazy, you need to get the stolen property back and get her out of the house. Also I bet she swapped the stone.
NOPE! If my husband didnt question his mother why the ring was taken with out permission. Like giving her 'a boy who cried wolf' story stops lies, similar idea. If shes not speaking to them has it stopped her coming around, problem solved.
I feel like if MIL would have said “oh I lost it” then the fiancé would still have an excuse for mom.
Taking the ring even to get it cleaned without asking is inappropriate.
Lmao why take something that isn’t yours!? SUPER ANNOYING
Doesn't matter if the MIL really got the ring cleaned or not, it's theft because the owner did not consent to it. If I took my neighbors car, it doesn't matter if I took it through the car wash, I still stole it. The MIL should be grateful that the lady made up a curse instead of calling the cops. And I believe her fiancée should stand by her side even if it was petty. Let the MIL think she's cursed, she was going to find a reason to hate the daughter in law anyway, might as well be a fun one.
I started browsing Reddit during the pandemic for something to do. Sadly, there are a lot of, "My MIL stole my ring and I found her wearing it/she wants my fiance to buy her one too" stories.
I disagree with Lauren on this one. The mil was being sketchy and dodging the question, when she could have (and would have if it were true) easily proven that she was getting it cleaned. Why did she not get her own son’s ring “cleaned” as well? Why would the husband not find this questionable? The couple has chosen to be with each other, not the mother. The husband would not be justified in not believing his wife.
Why did the MIL even take the ring to begin with? Since when is it acceptable to just walk into
Someone’s home and take stuff? The fiancé should’ve called his mom out for it I’m the first
Place. She shouldn’t have had to go to such measures but it sounds like she knew her fiancé probably wouldn’t have told his mom anything. This is what toxic MIL do. They do messed up
Things and make it seem like they were just “trying to help”.
There's another reddit story where the mil stole the engagement ring and is all smug about OP losing it until OP and her fiance found it in mil's purse.
there's also a million other stories that OP posts about that just no mil, eventually ending with the mil admitting she wants to sleep with her own son and getting arrested. The story is incredibly sad for OP (I really hope she's thriving now. She deserves it) but she luckily didn't go through with the wedding. It's a wild read.
I bet if OP called the cops for stealing her ring would have gotten the ring back a lot faster.
PS- I’m the niece of a very successful jeweler here in AZ. DO NOT shop at places like Kay’s. Find a local jeweler. If you can’t, at least go to someone high end. Zales, Kay, all those types of places are huge scams, and their diamonds suck. Black diamonds are also a scam. I’m still blown away by this story. I hope they didn’t get married. She deserves better.
Thank you for sharing this.
The whole "vague" discussion was so funny lmao
Not the AH😂 she would not have obliged to reason. She wanted to take her ring, that’s all. Sometimes, you gotta play dirty. OP’s husband needs to stand up, and they need to change the locks and set boundaries. Completely CHANGE them. My IL kept hiding keys to our house when we first got married, so everytime we got one from them, they’d have a backup. Not cool. We changed the locks after they house sat for our late honeymoon, so they would never have a reason to have the keys nor be able to again because we had NEVER agreed to that.
What if she had the stones replaced on the ring and that’s why it took so long 🧐
The other dress one is where the MIL and i think SIL tries on her dress and ruins it after the bride had it altered
The MIL stole the ring. That's a crime/illegal/can get her landed in jail. I think the funny lie/story was letting her off easy. I think it's a bigger red flag the husband isn't taking her side. Maybe the lie/story was immature, but that's way better than calling the police for burglary! Let the thief think she's cursed, maybe that will make her re evaluate how she moves in the world.
All of these MIL stories make me so happy to be single.
Check the stone is the original one! MIL may have wanted to take the valuable item and then try to break them up before the wedding.
I don’t get why the husband didn’t stand up for his wife.
A jeweler swapped my mom's stone and she knew immediately it was different but she couldn't prove it.
no on without pure intent takes an expensive peice of jewllery like an engagement right without permision. Thats just common ettiquette. She is not the AssHole..
I disagree with you two entirely.
this was not a pure intent situation, and she can easilly say. "Ya I made up the story because i don;t want you taking my stuff."
She is NTA. If that’s “just how the MIL is” then she should’ve been checked long before this. And even though I know she wouldn’t, if my future MIL took my ring my fiancé would be asking his mom to return it immediately.
To answer if an average person can notice if a ring was cleaned... YES!! 😂 My jeweler said I keep my ring really clean but when he actually cleaned it, it's very noticeable. Definitely will hold up in the husband court of law!
um NTA ? If she would have never STOLE the ring, the lie wouldn’t have been necessary.
My parents picked out their engagement ring together. When I was 10 we stopped at a Fred Meyer jeweler to have it cleaned a jeweler informed my parents that they had been scammed and the diamond was fake. They verified that with a couple other jewelers and replaced the diamond. I’m not sure where they bought their engagement ring but it was definitely a reputable place
I would have actually cursed it 😂
🧙♀️
Same. 🧙🏾
NTA- throughout this story, i’ve been constantly thinking about to previous story times where the MIL takes the wedding dress and wears it (stretches out). in that story, the MIL definitely was wearing the dress and living out the emotional incest fantasy of marrying her own son through the perspective of his fiancée. now with that thought process, in this story all i could think was that the MIL took the ring so she could live out her fantasy of marrying her son, feeling as though she was the fiancée. she took the ring knowing it went missing when she was at their home, dragged out the process of the ring being cleaned. if the ring was to get lost, her son and the fiancée would get mad at the mother and freak out for taking her belongings. the MIL was going to return the ring eventually because if she kept it, she would’ve been the one to get in trouble; it would literally cause anarchy. why else would the MIL take the ring when she wasn’t there ? she most likely was wearing the ring when she wasn’t home and then eventually just wanted more time with the ring. i’m even betting the MIL out on her old wedding dress and wore the ring her son got her fiancée. i couldn’t see the story as the mother wanting to withhold the ring, it felt just like it was dancing around emotional incest.
What if after marriage you said “it actually wasn’t cursed, your not cursed at all”
Imma have to hard disagree with the everyone sucks. She clearly stole the ring and I feel like a lot more is warranted if you steal from someone, especially if it’s something a lot more malicious like this.
I would check the stone in the ring. I’d be worried that the MIL had the stone swapped out for a fake.
Satisfication is now my favorite word
She shouldn't marry the guy. The MIL is toxic. And the potential future husband is delusional if he thinks the story about a curse was a problem. Also if I was the OP I would keep up the cursed story.
NTA, OP is an icon and a legend. No idea how you decided ESH.
I would have given her 24 hours to return it and then called the cops and had her arrested for theft. I have no chill.
Not the asshole. This is is hilarious.
She didn't play into the drama. She found a way to get her ring back without fighting. To the mother in law I say play stupid games win stupid prizes
She deserved what she got. She STOLE the ring! Ridiculous.
Not the asshole! MIL literally took the ring without permission and then acted like she couldn't remember the jeweler. She might have never gotten the ring back without a trick. The fiance should back her up and call out his toxic MIL!
where'd the live show go from last night? it says its privated, i didnt get to finish it😭🥺
Kay jewelers did it to me, I bought a 1000 dollar diamond and years later had to sell the ring I put it on and was told the diamond was worthless.
I feel like I would've also acted dumb and asked the MIL stuff like "so you went through my stuff without my permission?" "I appreciate your intentions to clean my ring but you should've asked first" and generally would've tried to make her feel bad first, especially once she started saying she couldn't remember the place she went to.. then if she didn't feel bad enough to bring back the ring herself, she deserves the bad karma even more. 🤷
like either way she stole something. she's the one that started it. if she didn't want negative consequences she just had to not steal the ring.
I know this post is from a year ago but bed bugs DEFINITELY travel and that’s how they get around so much!!
I mean... Stealing is stealing. MiL literally stole the ring out of their house. Legally speaking, MiL could have had charges brought up against her for taking it.
Not me actually cursing this MIL if this was me 😂
This also makes me question if the fiancé will stand up for OP when they tie the knot in the future against the mom. I think OP should reconsider, it sounds like if MIL is this bold now, I can only imagine how she’ll be once they are officially married
This has to be my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE revenge ever. NTA at all, MIL got what she deserved.
Also, huge red flag. I’d reconsider marrying into that family. What a toxic MIL
That grandma will come in handy in the future
If I was the wife I would bring my husband to a jeweler and ask them if the ring has been cleaned recently then it’ll be proof that it hasn’t been 🤷🏽♀️
NTA!! i think the MIL stole the engagement ring to make it seem like the fiancé was a bad person for being out w/out her ring on and lost it, like almost implying infidelity
Oh my goodness us Brazilians can get a little carried away lol But awesome. NTA!
I hope she doesn't marry that man. He needs to set boundaries with his mom. He is clearly the problem here.
This is funny! Oh btw, there seems to be an issue with the microphones. The setting of room silence must be on so it doesn’t pick up some words when you’re about to speak or finish speaking.
there’s a great saying in German: „gut gemeint ist nicht immer gut gemacht.“ basically meaning „something that’s meant well isn’t always done well“. Fits a lot of these reddit stories.
I laughed so hard!!! 😂😂😭😭😭
I don't think there's any question here. This woman went through her stuff and took her engagement ring without permission! Even if she had taken it to get cleaned, in what universe is it okay for someone to go into your room, go through your stuff and take an expensive, sentimental piece of jewelry! And then have the audacity to say with no shame, " oh don't remember what jeweler I brought it too"? I would have demanded right then and there that she drive me to the jeweler and get it back! It takes less than an hour to clean a ring. This monster in law is nucking futs!!!!!!!
It’s not like she was gonna treat her any better after the wedding, so why not
don't marry him, he is married to his mother...
I love the videos!
Where was the fiancé - the MIL's son? in all this. Why didn't he ask about the location of the missing ring when she was not wearing it for days?
Kay jewelers did that to me. I got a white gold ring and got something else back. It looked the same but was not gold at all
The mil also NEVER ASKED. That's a fucking NO.
Am I trapping or something why can’t I see the Emotional Damage video with Tefi
Wow! That chick is crazy!! To steal the ring!! Hahaha!! Lol!
Lol full circle with blue bob
No the daughter in law does not suck at all. Why would she take her ring without asking in the first place??? And she did not notify you at all. I’m not sure why she’s marrying into that family.
Did MIL replace the diamond??
She's absolutely NOT the asshole
NTA. This is all about consent. She did not consent to get the ring cleaned. Nosy ass MIL TOOK it from her.
I’ve seen this all the time
The question is whether or not she is the asshole. NO. The mother-in-law forced her hand, and if the son doesn't see that, then he's in the wrong too.
God if the MIL is so bothered just tell her it was a joke and you were kidding about the curse.
Yes I remember back then my mom took her ring to the shop to see if it was real they took it to the back and then gave it to my mom when we were leaving we noticed one of the metal lil pieces were out of place and bent back… my dad was beyond mad at my mom and them for doing what they did
There are 2 options, one explain the situation as it was exactly to the fiancé or go to the MIL and ask her to have a chat. And talk it out with her. She won’t agree right away. But if approached correctly this might workout
The MIL needed that. What was she doing with the ring anyways? Not sure what she was trying to accomplish. OP fought weird with weird lol. Sad part is she's gonna have to put up with her forever.. yikes
💀😂😂😂😂😂 not at all!! Serves her thieving ass right! That was hilarious! Way to be a crap MIL just because she had one instead of being a decent adult mother figure. This was the best!
Yeeeah she wouldn’t be allowed back in my home ever again. Sorry but you’re a thief. You’re lucky if I don’t call the police on you and press charges✌🏻
The amount of people taking the ESH stance surprises me… At the end of the day, there was no curse. It was a fairytale and MIL had a car accident. If she won the lottery instead, it would have been just as related to OP, as in not at all related. MIL is just causing trouble.
Maybe she stole the ring to change the diamond for a fake one. And OP is not an asshole at all. If she MIL didn't touch the ring OP wouldn't create a fake story
