My wife and I work and live together and have identical income. I put half of mine into savings for a house, so money is always tight on my end. We have separate banks and budgets but help each other often. Wife is still practicing saving and currently doesn’t put money aside for saving.

When installing an AC unit in the house we rent, my wife broke a window by practically just touching it. Totally not her fault, just dumb luck and old windows. She’s saying that, since we’re married and a team, I am responsible for half the payment.

While I want to help pay, I do not have the money and I do not see it as my responsibility. Am I the asshole? Should I take money from the house fund and risk our future or let her pay it off?
