A woman had a family heirloom she planned to pass on to her daughter. Her husband, however, had other plans and wanted her to give it to his daughter from another marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you have a family heirloom, you\u2019re simply a guardian, ensuring it is passed on from generation to generation. One woman planned to do that until her husband wanted her to do things differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She asked for help on Reddit to determine whether she was wrong for giving the heirloom to her daughter as initially planned. Her husband had been gaslighting her, and it has affected their relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Marriage, New Expectations
The woman, 35, had been married to her husband, Joey, for two years. Before they tied the knot, they had been dating for four years and had daughters from previous relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u200b\u200bMy family has a tradition of giving an emerald necklace that\u2019s passed down from a mother to their eldest daughter or son on their 14th birthday,\u201d she started her story. Her daughter, Emily, is set to turn 14 in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Emerald<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Her husband, Joey, knew of their family tradition since they began dating. He also knew she planned to give the necklace to Emily. When the topic of Christmas gifts came, Joey suggested that his daughter Sophia get the emerald jewelry instead of Emily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He felt it was the perfect way for his wife to show how she accepted Sophia as her daughter. The woman didn\u2019t like this idea. Emily was always aware of the family tradition and waited to receive the necklace. She made this clear to her husband, but he wouldn\u2019t budge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Husband Accused Her of Favoritism
Joey accused his wife of favoring Emily over Sophia. He felt he was being selfish and that she could easily buy another necklace from Amazon to give to Emily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The woman stood her ground and said the necklace was going to her daughter whether he liked it or not. Since that conversation, Joey has been giving her the silent treatment except when they\u2019re in front of the two children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joey went so far as to tell his mom and sister about the incident, and they, too, started accusing the woman of favoritism. They pressed that she should give the necklace to Sophia, as Joey had insisted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internet Users Shared Their Thoughts on the Story
The concerned mom took to Reddit for opinions. She wondered whether she was wrong for insisting on something, especially now that it\u2019s taken a toll on her marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe \u2018favoring your child over mine\u2019 argument is pinnacle hypocrisy too. Because isn\u2019t he favoring his child over hers be starting up this argument?\u201d one user<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Teenage<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour bio daughter should get the family heirloom \u2013 and your bonus daughter should be a new blended family treasure,\u201d another suggested. \u201cI suspect he wanted his daughter to have the expensive jewelry that he didn\u2019t have to pay for,\u201d one concluded. Reddit users showed the woman full support. They felt her reasons were utterly justified, and her husband, Joey, was way out of line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
