When you get married to someone, it’s reasonable to assume part of that entails them coming to you to discuss important things that could directly impact your life before making any decisions.
You know, like them accepting a job that would require you to uproot your life. That’s something that both people in a couple should weigh in on before doing anything.
Well, he decided to take a new job without asking his fiancée for permission first, which caused her to call off their wedding.
This 29-year-old man came hours away from getting married, but his fiancée called it all off right after their rehearsal dinner. His fiancée ended things because he got an amazing job offer in another state, which he jumped at the chance to accept.
The salary is higher, and the new company said they will give him a car. Enticing, right? Well, his fiancée was not interested in moving so far away from her loved ones.
As soon as he accepted the job offer, his fiancée’s family was angry that he did that. Oh, and he didn’t even give his fiancée a heads-up that he was going to move ahead with the offer, so she was blindsided!
“I should have discussed it with her beforehand, which I admit is my fault. Since the wedding is off, I have been returning gifts that had been given to us during a rehearsal dinner,” he explained.
“She had ended the engagement that night before the wedding after everyone had left, and we were home alone. She gave me the choice to call back and refuse the position, get married, or walk away from the relationship.”
“I choose to walk away. My career is more important to me. There were a few gifts from my family that I tried to return, but they said to keep them for my new home. I was told to think of it as a housewarming gift instead.”

Well, his now ex-fiancée is mad that he’s trying to return or keep certain wedding presents, as she feels entitled to everything, since she thinks it will sort of make up for the loss she’s suffered, coming so close to being a bride.
He doesn’t agree and has been returning wedding presents without informing her. His ex-fiancée has tried to get her hands on the presents his family told him to keep, as she was the one who set up their wedding registry, and all those gifts were at the top of her wish list.
He honestly doesn’t have a use for all the gifts, but he doesn’t want his ex-fiancée to keep them either, since he does think everything should be returned.
He’s one of the biggest jerks I’ve ever heard of. Who accepts a job offer without telling their soon-to-be wife? That’s absolutely insane, and a major life choice that impacts the two of them.
I don’t blame this girl for calling off the wedding, because I would too. It sounds like he intentionally tanked their relationship, because otherwise, why would he have accepted the job without telling her??
