We all know hen parties (or bachelorette parties in America) can get a bit out of hand.

A few drinks down, surrounded by your best friends, you can be pretty irresponsible.

But one bride-to-be’s bachelorette party ended in disaster when she got drunk and forgot to put her fiance’s beloved dog in another room.

When the party got going, she was too busy to notice the dog enjoying all the leftover chocolates and alcohol on the coffee table – making him ill.


Luckily, the dog was ok but her husband-to-be decided the incident was the end of their four-year-long relationship and he wanted to call off the wedding.



The 28-year-old man posted on Reddit to ask if he was in the wrong for doing so.

He said: ‘On Saturday, fiancee 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.

‘5am on Sunday I get a frantic call that something’s wrong with the dog. She was drunk, so 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. 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.’

He explained that when they got home, he told her to pack her things and get out of the house and his life.He added that the wedding was off.

She left but two hours later he got lots of messages from her family telling him he was ‘insane to do this to her after four years’

He added: ‘They started off defending her, but it quickly turned into insulting me.’

He said that his family and friends agree that he overreacted.

He explained: ‘My mom 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 f*cking die!

‘My sister was appalled that I cancelled the wedding “over that?!” and even my best man said I might have overreacted. Yes, our relationship has had ups and downs, but it’s mostly worked fine.

‘I am so disgusted at my fiancee that I can’t even imagine looking her in the eye, let alone spending my whole life with her. She isn’t f*cking 17, she is 27!’

He also said that it wasn’t the first time she had done something a little irresponsible



He said: ‘She likes to text while driving, she always leaves stuff on the electric stove (like kitchen towels, the cutting board etc.) even though she has turned on the wrong burner and burnt whatever was on it several times in the past, and similar DANGEROUS things.

‘It’s not something I hold against her in the sense that I would ever mention in a fight, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried that she might end up killing herself or someone else. For example, my dog.’

After lots of comments from other people on Reddit pointing out that maybe this wasn’t really about the dog but more because he didn’t trust her to look after herself and other things.

He later added an update :’Posting here kind of triggered me to conclude this isn’t about the dog at all. She is negligent and irresponsible and I don’t want to stick around and possibly see our child die in a car accident some day because she was texting or she forgot to put his seat belt on.

‘I’d rather be an asshole 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.’
