Her Friend Launched Into Bridezilla Mode After Demanding She Dogsit During The Honeymoon
A woman has a friend that is going to be married soon. Her friend’s fiancé is wonderful, and she and her own fiancé are quite close to the bride and groom.
Her friend’s wedding is taking place this upcoming weekend, and she is so looking forward to this being over and done with.
Her friend has been incredibly stressed out planning her wedding, but she and her fiancé have been attempting to do everything they can to help her.
As soon as her friend’s wedding is finished, she’s off to her honeymoon for 9 days and so, her friend was looking for someone to dogsit.
The thing is, her friend never even really asked her to watch the dog; she just demanded it.
Her friend’s dog is not trained at all and doesn’t have a good temperament when interacting with other animals, including other dogs.
The dog also doesn’t know how to listen, so she’s concerned about watching her friend’s dog at her own house.
She lives on a farm with a few families, and they all have animals, and she knows the dog is going to basically fight the other animals.
On top of that, she has an indoor-only cat, and the dog is bound to cause issues with her cat.

That’s the backstory on the dog, and her friend brought up watching the dog by essentially saying to her, “Hey. So you’ll take the dog when we leave!”
She made it clear to her friend that she could watch the dog for the 9 days of the honeymoon, but only if it would be at her friend’s home.
She did tell her friend she was uncomfortable with the dog being at her house because of her concern for the wellbeing of all the animals she lives with.
In response to that, her friend said, “The dog will be fine!” Her friend then walked away from the conversation, without acknowledging her feelings or concerns at all.
A few days after that conversation, she got the news that she was approved to adopt a kitten that she and her brother had been trying to get for their mom.
The kitten needs to live with her in her house until they gift the kitty to their mom at Christmas, and she decided to text her friend the bride to see if she would be able to borrow the puppy pen her friend had bought.
Her friend immediately texted back, saying, “Wait. What? No. You said you’d take the dog! Now you’re getting a kitten? Why’d you lie and say you’re taking the dog?”
She pointed out to her friend that she never lied to her at all, she simply stated she could only watch her friend’s dog if it was going to remain at her friend’s house.
“She exploded,” she explained. “Saying how I was backing out and not trustworthy and that she’s was stressed out.”
“I acknowledged that she was stressed and I would do anything to help, but I would not be going out of my comfort zone to watch an aggressive dog on my animal-filled property. She reminds me that she’s stressed about her cat dying and that I don’t know what stress actually is.”
This greatly hurt her to have her friend say because her grandpa died one day before they were going to the bachelorette party.
Although she was heartbroken, she pulled it together and went to the party anyway. On top of all this, her grandma isn’t doing well and is at the end of her life, so you can see why she was upset by what her friend the bride said to her.
She mentioned to her friend that it was disrespectful what had been said here, but her friend just kept going on and on about her lying and was not willing to hear a single thing she was trying to say.
She bowed out of the conversation, trying to keep the peace, but then her friend asked her fiancé what her issue was.
Thankfully, her fiancé had her back. “Fiancé supported me, bless his heart, saying that I’m grieving and her comments were rude and disrespectful,” she said.
“We knew she was stressed but coming after me wasn’t how this conversation was gonna go. My fiancé is a no-bs guy and was polite at first, but the bridal meltdown continued.”
“She said my grandpa’s death wasn’t important and had nothing to do with the current situation. Fiancé stopped the convo there as she was just digging her hole even deeper. None of us have spoken since.”
“Wedding is this Friday and I’m just gonna push through it like nothing happened and help where it’s needed. Don’t know what’s happening to the dog.”
“I don’t even know where to go from here in our relationship. She doesn’t want to hear me and invalidates my feelings and concerns.”
She completely understands her friend’s stress level planning a wedding, but she doesn’t want to be a “punching bag” for her, and she does have her own personal problems she’s trying to handle.
She has no clue how to even move forward from here, or if her relationship with her friend will even exist after this.
