Man Refuses To Fund Vacation With Pregnant Wife Because She Won’t Allow Him To Drink Alcohol

A man on Reddit found himself in a frustrating situation involving his pregnant wife and an upcoming vacation.

The OP’s wife is currently pregnant and asked him to not drink while they’re expecting.

She refuse to budge on the “no drinking” rule during the vacation so he said he won’t be paying for the trip. After making this decision he’s asked the internet if he’s a jerk for refusing to pay.

Here’s what she said:

AITA for no longer wanting to pay for a trip abroad if my (pregnant) wife won’t allow me to consume any alcohol on said trip

OP Explains:

My wife and I both normally would smoke weed pretty often. My wife would smoke more than me mainly due to the fact I work more hours and she works at a grocery store where she can happily go to work high whereas I work in a job where I’d struggle to perform high. We both would rarely drink maybe once or twice a month.

Since my wife got pregnant I knew the weed thing would be big for her so I was more than happy to give up smoking. She since then also expected me to give up drinking, literally all drinking I’m not even allowed to have 1 beer if we go for a meal.

My job in my opinion is more stressful but also pays more so I pay the majority of our bills. After taking care of 90% of our bills I’ve managed to save up and would like to take us on a holiday abroad to recharge after working my ass off without a holiday for the last few years.

But not being able to enjoy a few drinks whilst on holiday I feel kills the relaxation and when it takes over a year to save up for this type of trip I’d like to be able to enjoy it to the fullest.

My wife has decided she will not budge and if she can’t drink neither can I, so I’ve decided that I won’t be paying for the trip and we can just do something cheaper / closer to home.

AITA?

TLDR: My wife has decided that since she can’t drink because she is pregnant I can’t either. I planned to take my annual leave from work to take us (and pay for) a trip abroad. I asked my wife would the drinking rule still be in effect and she said of course. I’ve now decided I won’t be paying for us to take this trip. AITA?
