AITJ For Refusing To Buy My Pregnant Wife Booze?
2 years ago
I wouldn't go as far as to call OP a jerk but I do agree with the commenter who said wife has bodily autonomy and is the one who gets to choose. As long as she's not doing something crazy dangerous to the baby like running with the bulls. I don't claim to know anything about pregnancy but I've also heard a small amount of wine is ok. Sounds like she just wanted a taste, I don't see how that could've hurt, it's not like chugging shots of tequila. However, I would've tried for a compromise, such as non alcoholic wine, satisfy the craving without any risk from booze, even if it's just a tiny one.
I would apologize to the friend just because it seems like he was an innocent third party who got caught in the middle and was trying to give help he thought was wanted. The only jerk here is the husband. And he's a massive one!
Not saying the OP was wrong seeing as the customer was being rude but I personally hate that you have to get a drink to get your combo cheaper. I don't like drinking out of those fountain machines fast food places use, it always tastes gross. But I also don't wanna spend more money for less stuff, that's just dumb.
I agree they should have found her new address. Send her a letter and make sure she knows she didn't get away with it, they know what she was doing. Along with a picture showing all the stuff she missed out on getting. Rub it in her face!
