We can't control how our bodies will react to certain materials. Some people can put any random material in their ear and not think twice about it for weeks. But other people suffer from sensitive skin and have to triple check anything before allowing it to come into contact with their body. There really isn't much to do either than be cautious, allergies are no-ones fault.

This woman found out she can't wear nickel anymore and might require a new, more expensive ring. What do you think, is it fair for her to ask her partner to cough up the money?

    Font - My (30m) partner and I (22f) have been together over 2 years and I have never been the type to be concerned about money. My engagement ring is beautiful and I adore it that is not the issue.

    Font - I have recently discovered I have a nickel allergy. I thought it was ring rash at first and left it for a while but now my ring finger is severely red, swollen, and burning. It's to the point I can barley put my rings on. It has also spread to middle and pinkie finger on my left hand.

    Font - I began researching rings that are nickel free and the only way to guarantee it doesn't contain my allergen is by getting 24k gold or platinum. For those who don't know about jewelry that is at least 3 to 5 grand. I told him about this and how I knew it would be a lot to save and I will happily wear my silicone workout band until then, but I really want a real ring he picked out to wear.

    Font - He got a bit upset (not yelling or anything he's a very great guy) and thinks it's just me wanting something more extravagant and not appreciating what he worked for already.

    Font - Update: thank you for all the comments especially the ones offering other options. I was truly not expecting to get as many comments as I did. I just got done talking to him and he apologized for not taking the allergy seriously he was just shocked by the amount.

    Font - I'm gonna go ringless until this all heals up and wear my silicone while we look at titanium and wood options. We were going to look into a lower gold but since I've seen comments about other people having gold allergies were gonna avoid that since I want to wear it daily for years.

    Font - I will admit I was a bit of the asshole since I didn't think to look more online and listened to a salesman first. He also wants us to look into low cost allergy treatments that aren't directly through the doctor. Thank you all again.

    Font - OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the asshole: I believe I may the asshole because of my partners reaction to me asking for a new ring. I think I may not be an asshole since I'm only asking due to an allergy.
