Passing down family heirloom from one generation to another isn’t just a tradition but a promise that one is never willing to break.
A woman shared a story of how this beautiful tradition turned ugly because of her new husband’s demand.
Asking whether she was right or wrong, she turned to Reddit and explained that there was this precious piece of jewelry, a green emerald necklace, that has been passed down to the eldest child of the family on their fourteenth birthday. This tradition existed for many years.
The 35-year-old woman further added that her daughter Emily would be turning 14 in January 2024, and that she has been planing to give the necklace to her, as she always wanted.
However, some two years ago, OP tied the knot to her husband Joey, who also has a daughter, Sophia, who’s around the same age as Emily.
One day, while discussing Christmas gifts, Joey mentioned something that made OP’s blood boil. He suggested that she give the necklace to Sophia and that it would mean a lot to his daughter because it would show that OP truly accepts Sophia as her own daughter.
The woman explained that Emily knew of the tradition and that she was already looking forward to the necklace, but Joey insisted.
What’s most, he called her self-centered and told her that if her daughter really wanted a necklace she could simply order one on Amazon for her.
Despite his constant insisting, OP said she won’t be giving the necklace to Sophia, but her husband got mad and gave her the silent treatment. He even shared what happened with his mother and sister who supported him and told him his wife was selfish and biased.
The woman asked fellow Redditors to give her advice, and as expected, most of them were in her favor.
“You’re not favoring one kid over another. Emily is your kid and the necklace is hers. Your [stepdaughter] is not entitled to anything. I would have told him that his daughter can get the knockoff from Amazon if it’s that important to him,” one user wrote.
They then added: “That being said, you need to put the necklace in a safe place like a box in the bank or something because trust me, as soon as Emily has it, it’s going to ‘disappear’ or be broken by ‘accident.’”
“It needs to be locked up in a safe place so that neither your [stepdaughter] nor your husband can get their hands on it. I would sit down with Emily and explain why you are doing so and that while you consider it hers, it’s best to keep it safe,” another person wrote.
Evidence of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Splitting Up Comes to Light
In 2022, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck exchanged vows in a hurried Las Vegas ceremony. Unsettling rumors are circulating now that the pair may be getting a divorce. In order to comprehend what is going on, let’s get into the specifics.
Some reports claim that Ben Affleck has been living apart from his wife, Jennifer Lopez, at a different house. Reporters claimed to have seen him leave this house by himself several times.
In particular, the actor was spotted coming and going from a house in Brentwood, Los Angeles, that he seemed to be living alone. Affleck has reportedly been staying the night here, according to sources.
InTouch revealed earlier this week that Lopez and Affleck might be splitting up. According to the publication, Affleck had left their Beverly Hills marital residence. Although Affleck’s formal move out date is still unknown, it appears that he has been residing at his Brentwood house for a minimum of one week.
It’s interesting to note that over this time, Lopez and Affleck have both remained ring wearers. Despite their previous solo sightings at various events, Ben was conspicuously absent from Lopez’s side at the Met Gala last week.
His absence was attributed to “The Accountant 2” filming schedule conflicts with the event. However, the night before the Met Gala, Affleck was spotted in Los Angeles at Tom Brady’s roast. Additionally, Lopez has been spotted by paparazzi exploring Los Angeles without her spouse.
Lopez and her longtime producing partner were recently spotted house searching. At first, people thought she was looking for a new place to live with Affleck. There are now rumors circulating that she may be searching for a place to live alone.
The pair was last seen together in a photo in New York City back in March. They haven’t made any joint public appearances since then.
In terms of Affleck, he has been residing in Brentwood, the same community as his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their three kids. According to reports, Affleck has been going to his kids’ events, which could account for his decision to stay in Brentwood and continue to be his children’s father.
Regarding these reports, neither Jennifer Lopez nor Ben Affleck have released an official remark as of yet.
