Weddings are dang expensive, even if you go a cheap route.

So when you have more wedding expenses after the wedding, it’s enough to make you wince.

See why this wife doesn’t want to pay up for what hubby wants.

AITA for wanting my husband to help pay for his lost wedding band?

My husband and I have been married for about two years. We each picked our own wedding bands before the ceremony.

I went with something simple and he chose a titanium one with a wood inlay that cost quite a bit more but suited him perfectly.

But the ring was far from perfect.

When he first got it, he mentioned that it felt a little loose but said it was fine and didn’t want to bother resizing it.

A few weeks ago we went on a beach trip, and he took his ring off before swimming so it wouldn’t fall off.

Somehow it still got lost, and we searched everywhere without any luck. It was gone for good.

He was upset and wanted to replace it with the exact same model, which is now even more expensive. He also seemed to expect that I would pay for it since I covered more of the wedding expenses before.

She is not at all on board with that.

From my point of view, he already had the ring and lost it even after knowing it was loose, so I think it’s fair for him to help pay for the replacement.

He told me I was being stingy and making something sentimental about money, but I don’t think it’s right for me to pay for the same thing twice because he didn’t want to resize it.

So AITA for expecting him to share the cost of replacing his wedding band?

Here is what folks are saying.

Yikes he’ll freak.

I don’t think it’s weird.

Read the fine print of the policy and crunch the numbers first.

Sounds like a bad omen.
