Alcohol can change how the brain functions and looks by interfering with its communication channels. These disturbances can alter behavior and mood, as well as impair cognition and movement.

Talking about movement, we see a drunk man who made a bad move and ended up killing his fiancee's dog. The dog was 9 years old, sick and was already a small dog.

It's normal to feel sad, express sadness, and go to friends and family for support when someone you love passes away. However, even though people frequently experience similar anguish when losing a cherished pet, others may not notice it.

Recognize that your sadness is normal and that it's necessary and acceptable to mourn the bond you once shared with your pet. OP didn't really expect to wake up and find her cherished dog dead and her fiance passed out from being drunk.

The OP is trying so hard not to blame her fiance, but she does. He doesn't even drink much, but she can't help it, so she's kind of ignored him and just gone to work and gone about her day.

They have messaged each other a few times, but every time he starts bringing it up, the OP just shuts him down immediately because she really doesn't want to talk about it. Now their friends have been texting the OP to talk it over with her fiance, so she wants to know if she's being unreasonable.

The headline

Every time he starts bringing it up, the OP just shuts him down immediately

The summary of the entire story:

Fiance got drunk and fell on my dog, killing her, I've kind of been ignoring him since, not wanting to talk about it, friends think I'm overreacting

And the comments from other Redditors roll in...

That is solely the OP's decision

OP did mention it was an accident

OP let this drag out

They both need to talk

The OP dropped this edit later on...

My boyfriend and I have spoken several times in the past week, the only reason I've been 'ignoring' him is because every time we talk he brings up Jasmine and I have tried explaining I'd rather not talk about her right now but he continues bringing it up,

it's not that I've been giving my boyfriend silent treatment or no contact or anything else some of you think I've been doing, I even stated in the post that we have messaged each other but he keeps bringing it up

It can happen sometimes

He's feeling guilty about it all

Asking for some time apart

Dogs are not stupid

From his point of view

Grieving is not a linear process so rather than progressing through the phases of sorrow one after the other, you might wander aimlessly in and out of them. It's normal to feel better for a while but later experience another wave of grief.

The OP should be allowed to grieve her dog how she wants to, but she'll also need to address the matter with her partner sooner than later.
