" She said that she has "unintentionally partially paid for 2 installments now which makes me a part-owner of the ring".
A woman recently took to social media to share her disappointment after she got to know that her husband bought her engagement ring from their joint account. She said that they got married recently and the husband gave her a two-carat lab diamond ring worth $8000 (approximately Rs 6 lakh) on a payment plan, which allows payment to be spread out over a period of time.
Soon after getting married, the 28-year-old woman discovered that her husband was withdrawing money from their joint account to pay for the ring. "I found out after we married and merged our finances that he has been withdrawing funds from our joint account (we make roughly the same) to finance this ring. I was just taken aback and honestly put off by the fact he is making me pay for a GIFT he gave to me," she said on Reddit.
She said both of them have been having arguments about it. "He feels that ring is a wedding expense and it's only fair that I contribute towards it too, and that as a woman of this day I shouldn't hesitate to be an equal partner. I call bull**** and shared my thoughts on this whole thing."
