Man Plans to Sue His Brother After He Gave a Family Heirloom to His Fiancée, Who's Now Flaunting It on Social Media

A man is fuming after his brother gifted a family heirloom to his fiancée — who is now sharing it on social media despite that it doesn't truly belong to her, he says.

In a post shared to Reddit, the man says his brother "convinced" his dad that a necklace belonging to his grandmother should go to him after she died.

"My dad, trying to avoid conflict, handed it over without asking questions," the poster writes.

But once he got the necklace, the brother gifted it to his fiancée, who has been posting "passive-aggressive pictures on social media wearing the necklace, captioning it “Some things just find their rightful home❤️.” "

Now, the man says he wants to fight for the necklace, writing, "I’ve consulted with my lawyer, who thinks I do have a case. Since there’s no will, it all comes down to proving that the necklace was meant to stay in the maternal line."

And while the man says some family members are on his side, his brother and his fiancée "have doubled down" and accused the man of "being jealous."

"It’s honestly infuriating," the man writes, adding: "At this point, I’m committed to fighting for the necklace, even if it causes more tension in the family ... I’m not backing down no matter how much they try to twist things. This necklace belongs to me and I’m going to make sure it stays in the family."

Reddit users applauded the poster for not stopping, with one writing, "Keep fighting. And don’t fall for 'you’re breaking the family apart' narrative. Your brother is doing that and he can fix it very easily."

Several commenters blamed the poster's dad, with one writing: "This all happened because the dad didn't think twice before handing the necklace to him. An item such as that necklace shouldn't be giving away without serious questioning."
