A 28-year-old man has revealed how he canceled his wedding after his fiancée’s neglectful act towards his dog.
The man took to Reddit and shared the moment he realized that marrying his girlfriend of four years would be a mistake.
“My fiancée and I have been together for four years, engaged for six months,” he wrote. “I also have a seven-year-old lab mix who is the greatest dog in existence.”
“On Saturday, fiancée had a bachelorette party at home. I stayed with my parents but I left the dog with her because she likes having him there.
“However, I made sure to tell her to put the dog in our bedroom once the party gets going.
“But at 5am on Sunday, I get a frantic call that something’s wrong with the dog.
“She was drunk. I told her to get a taxi and go to the emergency vet clinic.
“When I got there, she looked like she hadn’t stopped crying for hours and she couldn’t even speak.”
The man continued: “Two of her friends were there so they told me my dog is alive but not well. I felt sorry for her for an entire 10 minutes while waiting for the doctor.
“But then the doctor told me my dog ingested large amounts of alcohol and chocolate edibles.
“The girls apparently thought it would be cool to leave everything out on short coffee tables, leave the dog to wander around instead of putting him in our bedroom, and then get wasted and not notice he was going to town with the booze and edibles.”
As soon as they returned home, he told his fiancée to pack her things and “get out of his house and life.”
“Two hours later, I get bombarded by messages on Messenger, Whatsapp, by her sisters, brother, brother’s wife, her mom, her friends, telling me that I am insane to do this to her after four years.
“They started off defending her, but it quickly turned into insulting me.”
When he turned to his family and friends for comfort, he quickly realized that they were all on her side.
“My mum said ‘Well, it was a mistake, she didn’t do it on purpose, besides – the dog didn’t die!’. Lucky me, eh? My dog didn’t die!
“My sister was appalled that I cancelled the wedding ‘over that!’ and even my best man said I might have overreacted.
“Our relationship has had ups and downs, but it’s mostly worked fine. But I am so disgusted at my fiancée that I can’t even imagine looking her in the eye, let alone spending my whole life with her. She isn’t 17, she is 27.”
He added: “I’d rather be an a**hole now than spend years of my life worrying every time our child is left alone with her.
“If she’d accidentally killed a person while texting and driving, I would also leave her. I guess I realized I don’t want to spend my life with someone who has such blatant disregard for human (or animal) life.”
People on Reddit were quick to share their thoughts, with one person writing: “That level of carelessness could lead to death. What would people say if she had done the same thing with a kid around? It’s pretty obvious how you feel, getting out now seems like a better option than having this fester until the divorce.”
Another wrote: “If I had asked my boyfriend to care for my dog while i was away and this happened, he would be dumped. My Labrador, Lucy always came first and I loved her more than anyone on the planet, except my cat.”
A third said: “Honestly, i think everyone knows not give a dog chocolate. so, he did the right thing.”
