Stereotypically, getting married means that you're ready to put the partying days behind you as you quietly settle into your new married life. However, one woman is not willing to put her numerous late nights behind her, and her fiancé is threatening to call off their wedding because of it.
The woman - who admits to not walking through the front door until 4am - says her partying habits have caused 'major issues' between the engaged pair. Taking to popular forum Mumsnet, the woman sought advice as she questioned: "Is it unreasonable to come home from a night out at 4am when you're in a relationship?"
She explained "I did this twice last January and it causes major issues in our relationship and it was rocky until March.
"He then proposed in April and since then we have been planning the wedding and everything was fine until three weeks ago when I went out again and again came back around 4am as I lost track of time.
"When I got back we started arguing and he said he doesn't know if wants to marry me anymore, I thought he was saying this was out of anger but since then he refused to speak about it or continue planning it when I bring it up.
"He's not very social and doesn't really go out, he just works, goes gym, and spends time with his family, we have a joint weekend business that we run together.
"However, he's not controlling and seems to only have a problem with me coming back late. He's 27 I'm 29. Any thoughts would be appreciated."
Clarifying the situation further, the woman wrote: "He says he feels like I'm disrespecting him, perhaps he has trust issues because when we got to know each other I was in a long distance relationship already that wasn't really working.
"I did sleep with him before I fully split up with my ex. I know this hasn't sat right with him for a long time.
Taking to the comment section, Mumsnet users assured the woman that her late nights out weren't unreasonable.
"Does he know why it bothers him?" One person questioned. "I pull all-nighters on occasion and husband just laughs when I stroll in."
A second advised: "You need to sit down and talk about this with him, with honesty on both sides. It clearly upsets him. You need to understand why.
"There is nothing wrong in itself in going out until 4am. But it sounds like there is a difference between each of your appetites for socialising and that needs to be explored."
