An unfaithful future spouse? If you find out they have stolen someone's identity and they're not who you think they are? Or if they won't wear a night guard?
Well for one woman the last option has her reconsidering the wedding and her life choices.
Taking to Reddit to rant about her situation, the mystery woman wrote: "My fiancé and I have been together for five years, living together for two and a half.
"He and I both grind our teeth at night, however, I wear a night guard every night and he does not. For at least the last year I have been asking him to wear a night guard as I can hear him grinding his teeth at night.
"Its to the point where sometimes it even wakes me up, but generally it is just a very unpleasant sound," she explained.
For a while, it seemed that things were going to improve, as he had bought a guard but he kept spitting it out in his sleep and then their dog ate it.
"Since then there have been countless nights of me waking him up to put the retainers in. I try every way possible to wake him nicely, but eventually, I have to shake him awake enough and he puts them in while half awake and mad," she continued.
"I can’t take it anymore and I can’t live the rest of my life like this. I don’t know how else to explain to him how much it bothers me. If he wanted to discuss compromise (or discuss it at all beyond complaining about wearing one and making empty promises to wear it.)
"I would offer to wear earplugs or something but at this point, it’s the principle of it. He has disregarded my requests time and time again and I feel like he just doesn’t respect me/my needs nor does he seem to care to try and fix it."
Now the Redditor is considering calling off the wedding completely and wants to know if she is wrong.
It seems that a lot of people were on her side as one person commented: "You wouldn't be wrong. This sounds like it's the tip of the iceberg for issues, and this is something you've latched onto to justify yourself for wanting to pull out now."
A second penned: "Your life, your choice. And your fiance has made the choice to not do something simple that will not only allow you to sleep but for the continued health of his own teeth."
While a third added: "If you cannot live the rest of your life like this and he won't wear it then you have a hard choice to make. But you're not wrong about deciding this is a deal breaker."
