Much love guys. Now today's first story comes from Throwaway New Ring

from the Am I the R-Sawls subreddit and says, Am I the R-Soul for forcing my brother to buy me a new

On Tuesday, he proposed to his girlfriend, with my ring. He'd taken it before leaving my apartment.

I got distracted at work and didn't notice it was gone until his fiancé sent a picture of herself

wearing the ring to our family group chat. I called him to ask about the ring, and he immediately apologized and said he had keep his
