<p>Some husbands don&#39;t drink when their wives are pregnant, and that&#39;s great! When this husband is fed up, he asks the popular <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/xol641/aita_for_no_longer_wanting_to_pay_for_a_trip/">Reddit forum</a>:</p><h2>&quot;AITA for no longer wanting to pay for a trip abroad if my (pregnant) wife won&rsquo;t allow me to consume any alcohol on said trip?&quot;</h2><blockquote> <p>My wife has decided that since she can&rsquo;t drink because she is pregnant that I can&rsquo;t either.

I&rsquo;ve now decided I won&rsquo;t be paying for us to take this trip.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>My wife and I both normally would smoke weed pretty often.

Man asks if he's wrong to cancel trip with pregnant wife if she won't let him drink.
