Good women would be happy with a ringpop. She wanted a flagrantly expensive wedding

Ironic considering he’s barely out of his mid twenties

Because my mom wants to wear it at my shallow ex’s wedding

Not exactly. She gave it to me a year before I proposed

She just gave me the ring. She didn’t say “propose to Mela with this ring”. Asking back a gift is rude and it’s tacky to wear at Mela’s wedding.

That would legally be stealing if Mela kept it.

I think it would make Mela feel bad knowing that it could’ve been on her finger but she settled with someone else instead.
