A woman planned a birthday dinner with just her girlfriends, but her friend's fiance showed up uninvited. She had specifically asked her friend not to bring him, as it was meant to be a girls-only event. When the friend and her fiance arrived, the hostess asked them to leave, causing the friend to become angry and stop talking to her. The hostess is now questioning whether she was being unreasonable and has asked for opinions on whether she was in the wrong. Many people are divided on the issue, with some saying that it was rude to ask them to leave, while others believe that the hostess had every right to have a girls-only event and that her friend should have respected her wishes. What do you think? Was the hostess an a**hole for kicking her friend and her fiance out of her birthday dinner?

Girls only birthday dinner ruined by friend's fiancé

When you plan a girls-only birthday dinner, you expect only your girlfriends to show up. But what happens when your friend's fiancé, who always seems to be around, shows up uninvited? This is the dilemma faced by one Redditor, who kicked her friend's fiancé out of her birthday dinner because she wanted it to be a girls-only affair.

Despite specifically telling her friend not to bring her fiancé, he showed up anyway, and the birthday girl was not having it. She asked them to leave, and now her friend isn't talking to her. Some of the other girls in the group think she overreacted, but she stands by her decision. Was she in the wrong or was her friend being disrespectful of her wishes? Read on to find out what Reddit thinks and share your thoughts in the comments.
