'Furious' Bride Wants to Postpone Wedding Because She Blames Groom for Getting Her Fired From Her Job

A woman believes her fiancé is responsible for getting her fired from her job, so she wants to postpone their wedding.

The groom, 28, explained in a post on Reddit's "Am I the A------" forum that the bride, 24, was recently fired for being late to work and blames him for it. Now, the two are sleeping in separate rooms, "hardly speaking" to one another and their wedding is on the line.

On Wednesday, Feb. 19, the groom was "jolted awake at 6 a.m." because his fiancée's alarm clock went off. This surprised him because earlier in the week she told him that she would be "closing every day." Assuming his fiancée had "forgotten" to reschedule her alarms to her usual 10 a.m. wake-up time for closing shifts, the man decided to reset and turn them all off.

"When 10 a.m. rolled around, I heard a scream from the bedroom," the man recalled. "Turns out she was supposed to open that day. She rushed to work but was fired on the spot for leaving the store unopened for well over an hour."

He continued: "Now she’s furious with me, blaming me for her getting fired, and even wants to postpone our wedding."

The man who just wanted to "get a few more hours of sleep" initially "was shocked and felt terrible."

"But then I found out the real reason she had been switched to closing shifts: she had been repeatedly late for opening shifts, receiving eight warnings/strikes over a one-month period," he wrote. "Her boss had given her closing shifts as a last-ditch effort to keep her employed."

Until her firing, the groom was unaware that his fiancée's employment was at risk due to her repeated tardiness. But after dating the woman for five years, he knew that she had "a terrible habit of ignoring her wake-up alarms," typically setting 10-15 morning alarms over the course of an hour.

Because the groom is a "light sleeper," he was "consistently sleeping in the guest room" so that his fiancée's alarms wouldn't wake him up. He became "resentful of her sleeping habits" because her alarms sometimes prevented him from getting "proper rest" before work.

"By the time I got up for my job, she would already be out the house, so I had no frame of reference to tell if she was running late or not," he said.

Although the man understands why his fiancée is "upset" with him, he wants her to recognize that the situation was "entirely preventable." Until his fiancée "sees her part in all of this," he won't make any effort to mend their relationship.

"If she had just told me she was struggling to wake up, I could have helped," he said. "She’s been distant and nasty towards me, and at this point, I’m over it. She made zero effort to do better when I said that her alarms were messing with my sleep, failed to communicate effectively throughout the whole situation, and in my opinion, lied by omission about her standing at her job."

Reddit users in the comments section sided with the groom and argued that the bride "is not responsible enough" to get married.

"Seriously. She’s an ADULT. Part of that entails getting your tush out of the bed and getting to work on time. You’re not even married yet and you’re already sleeping in the guest room because of her several alarms," an individual commented. "How are you thinking this will miraculously change once you’re married? If you want to marry her it’s time for a serious conversation. She sounds like she’s 5, not 24."

Other users were concerned about the bride's physical health due to her abnormal sleeping patterns and need for so many alarms, and suggested she see a doctor.
