Many people think you can tell what kind of person someone is by how they treat animals. I agree with this idea. Pets, like our dogs, are like family, and they should be treated with love and care. If someone insults my dogs, I'd consider ending our relationship, and that's what a Redditor did.
Woman Cancels Brother’s Wedding After Bride Insults Her Dog And Asks ‘AITA’
OP's brother met his future wife, Ella, at a party three years ago. Despite differences, OP pretended to get along for her brother's happiness.
Ella consistently targeted OP with mean comments, criticizing her appearance and even OP's dog, Toast, causing emotional distress.
Ella, despite their previous issues, asked OP to be her Maid of Honor, and OP accepted to support her brother.
When OP accepted the MOH role, she didn't anticipate that it meant planning and financing the entire wedding, including covering deposits with her own credit card. Ella assured her the expenses would be reimbursed by her parents before the wedding.
A week before the wedding, Ella's behavior becomes unbearable as she snaps at everyone. When OP raises the money issue, a big argument breaks out.
When OP asked Ella for the updated receipt of wedding expenses, Ella exploded in anger, using hurtful names. The most painful remark was Ella mentioning OP's deceased dog.
After Ella's cruel comment, OP leaves in silence, drives home, and cancels all the wedding deposits, leaving only the dress and flower arch for the wedding.
OP hasn't communicated with anyone except her understanding mother for the past few days and feels guilty about both her actions and the hurtful words exchanged with Ella.
OP recognizes her extreme actions in canceling the wedding preparations but couldn't continue enabling Ella's cruelty. She questions whether she was in the wrong for her actions.
While pointing out OP's sister-in-law's overbearing behavior, readers were quick to offer reassurance to the OP, emphasizing that she had not done anything wrong.
One Redditor supported OP's decision, believing Ella wouldn't have paid her back and that the couple shouldn't marry if they can't afford it.
Another suggests OP should take a special, self-care trip.
One user believes that OP is "NTA" and Ella was using OP for money.
Another person firmly stands by OP and believes Ella got what she deserved.
