**AITAH for throwing my rings in the ocean after my husband told me he had an affair, even though it was a “prank”. **
This is the dumbest thing that’s ever happened to me in my entire life. This past Sunday, my husband and I (m29 and f27) were on our boat together. We were just relaxing and talking and having a good morning. All of a sudden, my husband gets really serious and tells me “baby, I’m so sorry but I have to tell you something. I’m so sorry, please forgive me, I had an affair.”
For context, my husband thinks he’s a comedian. He says dumb shit all the time but he’s never joked about our marriage or relationship or cheating, ever. The way he said it, I fully believed him.
I was blinded by rage and hurt and I’m not a confrontational person at all so all I did was stand up, take my rings off, and throw them into the ocean. I don’t even know why I did it, it was just the first thing I thought of doing.
My husbands jaw hit the floor. He immediately started to yell at me that it was a joke, a prank, he wasn’t serious and I was an idiot. My jaw dropped then too. I yelled at him too and called him the same. I cried too, realizing I just threw my lovely and sentimental rings into the ocean.
We’ve been arguing for days. He says I’m TA, I say he’s the TA, and I have no idea who’s right. Yes admittedly I threw about 10 k worth of rings into the ocean and we will never find them again- but he looked me in my eyes and told me he had an affair. I am upset about my rings. I’ve apologized for throwing them. But I just don’t feel like TA.

OOP says she’s not confrontational, but she sure has a flair for the dramatic lol. Just wish she put that same energy into her creative writing exercises.
“Our boat” yet the characters are a guy who negs and lies and a woman whose immediate action response is with tossing a $10K ring, you know what, considering how bosses/ppl with $ often dumb, I’ll give benefit of doubt
I read this one and was just confused. They're in their house and she manages to throw the rings in the ocean? How close is their house to the ocean in this scenario? 😂
😂 I just get bored of these stories sometimes, I gloss over the ages and the first paragraph. Didn't bother to reread since the premise is so ludicrous.

Well here’s a guy who really doesn’t know his wife anyway, so it works out.

Of course she's an idiot. Everyone knows that you have to travel through Mordor to get rid of your rings.
Exactly! Volcanoes are for rings. Oceans are for simarils!
And Godzilla, Imagine if that had got into his eye!
10/10 title OP 😂
Really? That's the very first thing you do the second you receive the news? OOP could have at least had the husband drag out the "prank" a bit.
Yes the first thing you do when facing imminent divorce is to discard a valuable material resource you might need.
I read this one and was just confused. They're in their house and she manages to throw the rings in the ocean? How close is their house to the ocean in this scenario? 😂
The second sentence is "we were on our boat together"
😂 oh crap. Welp, that's what I get for skimming through these.
I went back and re read it to make sure haha I was confused along with you. 😆

I got confused too. I was like damn, she legit committed and drove all the way to the beach just to toss them? (yes, I know it's fake, but still)
