Man storms out of engagement dinner over fiancée's 'obsession' with her dog
A man who recently proposed to his now fiancée says he ended up leaving their engagement dinner early after his future bride's 'obsession' with her pet dog tipped him over the edge.
According to this fed-up hubby-to-be, his partner positively dotes on her five-year-old Golden Retriever mix. She's previously even turned down jobs that wouldn't permit her to work from home, solely because she'd be too concerned about the dog's welfare.
The 28-year-old groom works from home three days a week and says his other half will only ever text him to enquire about how the dog is - appearing to show little interest in his own wellbeing.
Last weekend, to celebrate their engagement, he planned a canine-free trip away for them both, booking them a room at a nice hotel and making romantic restaurant reservations. Unfortunately, despite his best efforts to make it a "wonderful weekend", things didn't exactly go to plan.

That didn't prove to be enough for the nervous dog mum, whose fretting ultimately ended up ruining what should have been a very special evening.
He wrote: "We had reservations for 7 pm at the restaurant. My fiancée didn't get ready until 6:40 pm as she hadn't heard from the sitter.
"When we arrived at the restaurant, we had to wait 30 minutes for a table to open. When we sat down, my fiancée spent the entire dinner on her phone trying to get ahold of the friend.
"I paid for the meal and got up from the table telling her that I was going to wait in the car. She came out 20 minutes later screaming at me for leaving her at the table alone.
"I yelled back that she ruined our engagement trip by putting the dog over us. We sat in silence all the way home and she's thinking about going to stay with her parents."
One fellow Reddit user advised: "She does care about the dog a lot but to the point where she is rejecting jobs and texting every two hours is too much. Y'all aren't compatible. Get your ring back and move on."
Another warned: "This is only a preview of what having kids with this woman will be like — helicopter mum to the extreme. Hard pass."
