After marriage , a honeymoon is often one of the most cherished times a couple gets to share—an opportunity to relax, reset, and enjoy each other’s company as they begin a new chapter together. Many look forward to it just as much as the wedding itself.
But for one Redditor , the dream soured before it even began. While he had carefully saved for the trip, his wife admitted she hadn’t put aside enough for her own ticket. When he suggested waiting until she could cover her share, she was furious that he didn’t simply pay for them both.
Now he’s left questioning whether he was wrong to stand his ground. Read the full story below.
