Is there anything wrong with getting insurance for fancy jewelry?
Well, I guess it depends on who you ask…
That’s the big question at the heart of this story from Reddit’s “Am I the *******?” page.
Check out what’s going on!
AITA for wanting to insure the necklace my husband got me?
“About a month ago my husband bought me this beautiful gold necklace for my birthday.
It’s very simple but super elegant, one of those pieces you instantly fall in love with or at least I did and it was very thoughtful of him. The thing is, it’s also pretty valuable.
She wanted to be careful this time.
I’ve had jewelry stolen before and I’ve lost smaller pieces over the years, like a ring at the gym or an earring on vacation. So this time I thought, why not insure it? It’s not about expecting something bad to happen, just about being smart in case it does.
When I mentioned it to him, he got super defensive. He said it takes away from the meaning and that by insuring it I’m treating his gift like an object rather than something special.
They’re not on the same page…
I told him it’s literally the opposite, I want to protect it because it is special to me. That conversation didn’t really go well and I’ve brought it up about two times more and his expressions changes instantly, I have no idea why he would react like that.
Now I feel very bad.
I didn’t mean to offend him at all just wanted peace of mind.
