One of our biggest fears is getting a call from the person watching our dog while we’re away. It rarely happens, but when it does, you expect the worst. In this case, OP’s fiancee had every reason to be afraid.
OP (28M) and fiancee (27F) have been together for 4 years, engaged for 6 months. OP has a 7-year-old lab mix, who OP adores. On Saturday, fiancee had a bachelorette party at home. OP stayed with his parents but left the dog with her, instructing her to keep him in their bedroom during the party. At 5am Sunday, OP received a frantic call from his drunk fiancee, saying something was wrong with the dog. At the vet, OP learned the dog ingested alcohol and chocolate edibles. The party guests left everything on low tables and didn’t monitor the dog. OP was furious and told his fiancee to leave and called off the wedding. She left, and OP was bombarded with messages from her family and friends, calling him insane. Even OP’s family and friends thought he overreacted. OP realized this wasn’t just about the dog but her overall negligence and irresponsibility. OP decided to end the relationship to avoid future risks.
