Today, after over a month of planning, my friend had to cancel her first night out in over a year. Why? Because her "perfect" fiancé didn't want to, and started sulking when she tried to, so decided to put off letting her go out for a few more months. Apparently, it's my fault this happens. FML

On a leash

Today, my best friend and I were supposed to meet up at an outdoor beer garden. We’ve both had a hard time with quarantine, so it was a great escape. Instead, she kept me waiting for nearly two hours before I finally left. Her excuse? Her boyfriend, who she sees every day, really wanted to have sex. FML

He works hard for the money

Today, my friend canceled plans the day before the event, after planning to go together for over a month. He said he needed to work, which would be understandable, if his only job wasn’t for Uber where he literally sets his own hours. It’s too late to find another friend to go with. FML

Today, the guy I've been looking forward going on a date with had to cancel due to Covid. This wouldn't have been an issue, if I didn't see him later that night posting about him at a bar with another girl. FML

Reel to real

Today, the date I was supposed to go on got pushed back for a week, because she told me she was too sick to go out. A bit later, she posted a reel of her out with friends. FML

Please leave

Today, I went on my first date in over a year, and my best friend popped up at the restaurant uninvited. To make it worse, she pulled up a chair right in between us and started an argument with the bartender. FML

Don't get it

Today, my fiancée called off our wedding at the last moment, because her neurotic sister thinks she's "too fat" to be the maid of honor, and says she needs several months to lose weight. So that's a few thousand dollars wasted. My fiancée says I'm "overreacting" and that I "just don't get it". FML

Crushed

Today, I had to cancel plans to go to the movies with the guy I've had a crush on for months due to a sudden case of the flu. This was already rescheduled from yesterday, when I had to cancel due to bad weather (after he had already left home). He thinks that I'm just making excuses not to see him. FML

Get out while you still can

Today, my fiancée called off our wedding out of the blue. After a long discussion about it, it turns out that last week I voiced an opinion about the wedding she didn’t agree with, and doesn’t want to spend her life married to someone who’s going to argue with her every five minutes. FML

Today, after months of planning the perfect night with my brother, who was coming home for two weeks from the military, he cancelled because he "missed his dog". FML

All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go

Today, I had to cancel a plane ticket to a friend's wedding, because first he gave me the wrong date, after which his fiancée cut me from the guests because of Covid safety. Instead of paying $600 to be in the ceremony, I'm paying $400 to not go anywhere because the ticket could only be partially refunded. FML

That’s called abuse. He’s trying to isolate her from her support system so he can abuse and control her, and without a support system or people to tell her what’s wrong she’ll stay trapped. Please tell her what’s up before it’s too late!

If she has a "perfect" fiancé, you are dead to her. Move on and find someone else to hang out with.

What she needs is someone who needs to remind her that he is a manipulative asshole who she needs to leave.

"letting" her go out? She needs to get out before she can't. That is abusive.

Get her out before he does more than prevent her from hanging out with her friends. That dude is a psychopath.

Letting her go out? No nah no. There’s something quite wrong there. It shouldn’t be a privilege or a burden to go hang out with friends.

"Letting her go out"? He has that much control over her? That is worrying.

If not abuse, it's certainly a sign of issues that are only going to continue. One of my closest friends married a guy who is clingy and wants her to do everything for him. He'll call several times while we're out, wanting to know how much longer she'll be because he's bored without her. And then he'll call to ask her to order a pizza for him. She's finally started to call him out on his behaviour, but it's been almost 10 years of this crap.

Just playing devils advocate here, but is it possible she blamed him because she didn’t really want to go out and hurt your feelings? Sounds like you guys hadn’t been out in quite a while so maybe she just decided to flake at the last minute.

dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap. hire hit to kill fiance. your friend will be sad for a while but it's better than what he's gonna put her through in the long run. jerk offs like that don't deserve existence but really, you need to have a serious conversation with your friend regarding his controlling and psychotic behavior, she's not gonna wanna listen but this is a talk you need to have. she's blinded by this seemingly perfect relationship and probably doesn't know what a healthy one really looks like be a true friend and give her some tough love there's no reason she shouldn't be "allowed" to be in anyone else's presence than his.
