The birch show family heirloom has been passed down from generation to generation.

Is it disrespectful and bad etiquette ever to just ask if you can give the family heirloom

back or just ask for it, Cass?

Yeah, my friend got married and he was married for about five years before going through

a divorce.

And once he got married, his mom gave his then wife a ring and it wasn't engagement ring,

but it was a ring that had been passed down through generations of the family and she

gave it to her as part of their sort of wedding present kind of thing he got a ring as well.

And the expectation is this family heirloom stays in the family.

So if they don't have kids, it would go to a sibling or niece or nephew, that sort of thing.

But it's kind of like this grand welcome to the family gesture to be, you know, this is

how he's explaining it to be like for the family to give one of the siblings like the

partner this ring means like you're part of the family now.

Like this is a big deal.

Well, he got divorced and he wants the ring back and the ex-wife is refusing to give

it back saying it was a gift.

And it's a really important sentimental piece.

I mean, there's value to it as well, but it's just been passed down from generations.

And he doesn't know how to ask for this back or get her to give it back.

I can't you like if it was a if it was given him as part of the wedding, can you even

ask for it back?

Okay.
