Husband won't buy lemonade for pregnant wife, says, 'I have my reasons.'

When this man can&#39;t tell if he is a bad husband, he asks Reddit:&quot;AITA for not buying more lemonade for my pregnant wife?&quot; My wife and I are from the UK, but fairly recently visited Disney with our 5 year old. Whilst out there my wife developed a taste for minute made lemonade, pink not regular although she says it&rsquo;s the same as lemonade but &ldquo;somehow tastes different.&rdquo;  On our way back from our holiday she stopped by a shop in the airport and she bought several(? Or quite a few pink minute made lemonade).  Onto today my sister is visiting and spotted the drink in the fridge, asked to have it and I recall my wife having a few and finding a website to buy more (since they don&rsquo;t sell in the UK) so I said yes, but my wife got home and had a craving but apparently the bottle I&rsquo;d given my sister was the last one&hellip;I apologised!  She asked if she&rsquo;d replace it &ldquo;plus a few, since she&rsquo;s pregnant and craving it&rdquo; and I said no, because it&rsquo;s high in sugar (she&#39;s a type 1 diabetic) and also expensive?  We&rsquo;re on baby number 2, she wants to take our child back to Disney next year and go to the other parks like we did this year - we&rsquo;re saving where we can, that includes little purchases like this.  Whilst not actively swearing at me, I can tell she&rsquo;s very pouty, although I think she&rsquo;s just upset to be back in the UK&hellip; AITA?
