Is it normal to chose your sister over your wife for gifting expensive jewelry?

Please don't get me wrong, incest has got nothing to do with it.

I was watching a news item about a diamond ring worth more than $30 million today and while watching that I was thinking that if I was ever forced to or had to spend that much on a diamond ring, I would rather give it to my sister instead of my wife. Its not that I don't love my wife or I love my sister more than her, its just that giving such an expensive ring to the wife seems unfair and just unnatural to me. It doesn't feel right. Sure I would gladly buy normal reasonably priced jewelry for my wife, something I would probably never do for my sister. But if we're talking about a $30+ million diamond ring, there is no way my wife is getting that. That one is going to my sister. I would feel content, comfortable and happy giving it to her. It just seems more natural to me. What do you think? Is it normal?

    When you take a wife, you are to put her before anyone else. She should also do the same for you. I think you may not be as comnmted to your wife as you should be. If you got a life insurance policy with 1 mil payout, would you list your wife or your sister the beneficiary? What would you do if your wife won your dream car in a raffle, but she didnt want it so she turned it over to her brother instead of you? How would you honestly feel?

    You should have married your sister and spared your poor wife this weirdness

    Very normal and very sweet. Not that I'm married but if my husband did that to his sister I would think he is the sweetest.

    I can understand your viewpoint, but I think both your wife and you sister would be taken-aback. I think your wife may feel a little hurt and your sister would be a little confused.

    Normal. Your wife wasn't there for the best and worst your childhood. Heck, I'd do the same thing.

    I think it's pretty sweet (like all the other comments here) of you to rather spend that much for a sibling than your wife.

    If I was in your wife's shoes, I'd probably love you more!

    I think I get where you're coming from but I don't think I can properly type out how.

    It's normal to love your sister and want to give her gifts, sure. I don't really get why you're uncomfortable with giving your wife something expensive, though. Is it because she's your wife, or is something about her as a person, or what?
