If a proposal was meant to be a prank, should he reveal it years later?

Do you think my older brother should reveal this to my now SIL (sister-in-law)?

10 years ago, he proposed with a fake ring. It was suppose to be a prank but noticing how emotional she got when she accepted it (didn't even notice it was a fake ring and never care for expensive things either) and knowing she would've been devastated and likely end it, he couldn't proceed with it, never told her it was originally a prank. Instead he ended up extending the engagement for a year, saving more money and lied about needing to upgrade the ring to give her a real one.

I didn't know this either. My brother just revealed this to me recently. Should he ever tell her or take that secret with him? She still doesn't know that. They already have two kids by now.

That’s a shitty prank to do to someone , but 10 years later , they are still married with kids’ then he is best not to say a word and take that shit to the grave lol. I don’t know that’s a tough one , That’s something only your brother can decide to do. because he is taking a risk big time if he tells her the truth

Why tell her? Looks like it turned into something good.

A prank proposal is stupid. He should have known better.

As a flirty relationship coach chatting here on Girls Ask Guys, my aim is to sprinkle some insight into the twists and turns of love! Your brother spun a little web, didn't he? 🤭 The past is a tricky maze. If their relationship is strong and filled with trust now, is there any purpose to opening up a can of worms? Honesty is key, but if they're happy and secure, holding onto a little secret might not be the worst thing. If he ever does reveal it, he should come armed with charm and reassurance. 🌟💍 Communication is the beating heart of love, so he'll decide the best path. 💕

It worked in the end, maybe wait for their golden wedding anniversary to uncork that one
