I questioned myself as a woman. I dont want to have to take a back seat because of two needy dogs. But everything is secret im not allowed to know anything whats going on, she secretly talks to our kids behind closed doors and i have no authority over them or my money goes into the bank weekly with no clue where it goes i must say she earns more than me i think, and i get sleep back to back with her and a dog!. All I am asking for is to have one room of my own this isnt overrun by dog hair. I need you to think about yourself for a movement. I cant help that, he was like that when he came to me from his last family. He will not read about it or acknowledge it. B Thank you so much for writing back. But they always had strict boundaries, training and manners. We had the exact same problem except I had two dogs when I met my boyfriend. We had to move away and the dogs stayed behind we cant have them right now (thankfully), what I relieve to finally had the bed together as a newly married couple and have quality time together without 2 needy dogs around. I do not want to toss out my engagement but I do not know how much more I can take. When I just arrived, he didnt want me to sleep with him because he didnt want to disturb the dogs, who slept in the bed every night! This dog is seriously ruining my life. My neighbors tell me that they see my SO with the dog more then they see my child. I feel selfish if i ask that he takes the cat back to the shelter. In any case, Im not saying either of you is right/wrong, but just trying to shed some light! , ..but my man dont even ask about mine either, or say he wants to visit them or anything and that makes me sad cause im alwasy over there i just dont know what to do!!!! I hate when the dog gets up because hair just flys off of her. The dog is constantly shoved down my throat, we cannot go anywhere with out the dog, and cannot plan a vacation or anything else that does not allow pets, his whole world is around that dog. I was very harsh dragging her by the leash when she wouldnt come and spanking her what she pottied in the house.the day I got her for shots she was so small and not very healthy that she got sick. My advice to anyone thinking of getting a dog is to be really clear how your partner feels about them first. We have often talked about moving to the country; I would say how much Id love to get a dog and train it, go on walks with it, etc. I can tell she isnt happy with the dog there, with the way life is. My dog is naturally well behaves she just begs when we have food but if u ignore her she stops. If she didnt get her way, shed start washing her private area for a very, very, long time. I take responsibility for that, and being stupid enough to think this man could ever take care of anything like you would assume an adult would do. Please advise ? I dont want this puppy to be a toy and go from home to home but no one seems my point. But my dogs have never slept in my room. I knew he loved his dog going in, but it wasnt until we started dating that I saw just how much his dog sheds and how insane his love is for his pet. Id chosen the colour of the carpets and walls and was so excited showing him. So I am dealing with a situation with my husband agreeing on taking care of his brothers dog for a YEAR as he and his family gallivant across Europe, without consulting with his entire family. Shes sometimes peeing in the bed or pooping on the floor even tho she was outside but I always told myself her behavior is like that because of her negative past. Also, it will become difficult for you when your baby arrives and I fear the dog will really be mistreated. I have a spouse who has gradually, over many years, eliminated any actual friends I might have that are not actually his own friends. Mine lets the dog in the sofa and the bed even though I told her I didnt like it. I think the real issue is over the past 13 years my partner has had it one way and his way, and now that I request things be different he finds the demands unreasonable and defends his dog. My birds Ive had for 20 years. She was 8 weeks old and super tiny and cute. then why cant SHE take the cat, if its hers? Some husbands/boyfriends decide to rehome their dogs as a result of being exhausted by endeavoring to provide sufficient exercise on a daily basis. I felt I needed to make a home for this cat. I asked him why hed never told me this before and why had he let me go for so long under the impression that I would someday have a dog. So dont place a lot of credibility in that theory either. Instead, what you have to do is that identify what influences this disagreeable behavior. Here is my problem, my Husband is the dog lover, I love all trained obiediant animals, my husband sat with me and talked about getting a breed that requires extensive daily interactions and training, i told him i was not ready for that commitment, it would fall mainly on him. First off I love animals. Later, when you are both ready and in agreement, you could develop a plan (with clear conditions) to re-introduce the dogs. And this is how I feel about my boyfriends pets. I am in a very stressful relationship where I love both my dog and partner. My desire to complete my furry family is running strong. IMO dogs are pack animals and do better in family situations anyway, so being forced into a solitary situation with one single person creates a LOT of anxiety and behavior problems (aka, like your girlfriends dog). I truly love this girl but Im on my way out! If someone wants to to change/abandon such a big part of your life it is a huge wake up call. Going to the kitchen, having a snack or a meal he is by my side begging at any opportunity he gets. Everything is the dog. STOP being so self involved and worrying about your own feelings.

I have read comments about peoples marriages crumbling because of an animal. So when you find yourself at the beginning, just give hope a chance to float up. and has a nasty, intimidating growl anytime another dog comes near those things. Im not a dog person to begin with so I absolutely HATE to come home just to find new holes and new destruction. I tell him to get her off and he just thought it was no big deal -_- and in the pictures he was sending it felt like I was seeing a couple being all snuggly on two couches and he would tell me she would stare at when he wakes up or falls asleep. We recently found out I have antibodies in my blood that could be harmful to me and the baby, so I felt overwhelmed with stress. He is a dog owner himself, but has always adopted older animals, so he has never dealt with the puppy stage. Its really a crutch. Then you need to take action to solve whatever issue the dog has with that promise on your hand, resulting in the husband/boyfriend refusing to get rid of the dog. It is not fair for anyone to have to give up an animal they care for or accept one that they hate. He obsesses over every detail related to this dog what it eats, what it plays with, where it is, how often it poops, etc. To add insult to injury, my bf recently got ANOTHER goldendoodle to keep this one company. Dog people will try to tell you that you shouldnt mind having your life covered in fur, but folks like you and me arent trying to hear that nonsense. )this dog is awful! Even more frustrating, this 15 year old pitbull acts no older than 4 or 5 years of age. I cant trust the dog around our, and I cant trust my wife to do the right thing for her family. We argue for 15 mins about the dog and I ask him to leave. Get advice from a dog behaviorist: But, you shouldnt do this right away as you realize the reason. I will never understand why people get this breed of dog in cities, it really upsets me. Mainly because I decided to focus on my relationship instead of a small dog problems even if it could be seen as a big one I finally decided not to let it but just let the dog into my heart more each and everyday. I already have a 11month old shepard mix male. Lots of relationships get stressed and dog lovers are incredibly strange in what they tolerate. You hate him! End discussion. She would tell me anything about them like videotaping them eating an eggwow big deal. I mean seriously, who doesnt like puppies? I want it to work. I hurt inside feeling the way I do about this dog, and whenever I try to talk to my boyfriend about how I feel he just says its stupid your jealous of a dog, its just dumb. My baby is 8 months now with asthma and gets rashes and has eczemathe doctor said to keep the dog away from the baby because the dog is part of the problem but HE WILL NOT do that even of our lives depended on it. Thought if I could help train, it would turn out okay. You already have another and dont need that sloppy thing. Only a month would be sufficient. Nails hitting the hardwood floor?? Shes a one person dog. And we did. Clothes included. ?When I see this I automatically assume the person /owner has mental health issues or is intellectually challenged. How much would you resent your husband if you did so? Im not against the dog, dogs in general are just not for me anymore. The episode featured a family (husband, wife, 2 teenage kids) and their Pomeranian. If he would just put effort into training I know wed see a difference. We cant leave Jake alone. I ended up ordering our food to go, but still. The last straw was when i suffered a severe allergic reaction ( couldnt breathe and eyes swole to the size of an apple)to the cats hair and was told by the doc to immediately remove any pets lest i wanted to risk life long asthma attacks, my husband to my utter shock defended the cat and refused to remove it as a precautionary measure. Ya, a poor greedy baby that could not stay out of cat food. I feel a relationship should be a balance.. I feel like she loves these cats more than she does me. :\ just getting to much with her sometimes its like I cant trust her at all when shes alone. The biggest mistake was bringing the dog into the bed because now hes trained to think thats where hes supposed to be. The problem is that my boyfriend for the most part responds with yelling horribly at him. Ive actually stopped sleeping in the same bed because Fido hogs up so much of the bed that I cant ever get comfortable, so Im now sleeping in the 2nd bedroom while my boyfriend and the dog sleep together! I dont think they can bark like a real dog. He doesnt feed him, water him, or even acknowledge him except for when he has an accident which may be once a month. There is some anthropomorphising going on here but in the most negative and stupid way! He has rescued two cats and three dogs over the years. Weve had him for 6 years now and the experience has been mostly positive. The more I read about this in other blogs the more I realize its not even the dogs fault its his! Because my GF allows it now all people must suffer. Back to me and my girlfriend. Why would anyone want to be with someone like that, pets or no pets? Discuss with the husband/boyfriend: He is your love. You and your boyfriend need to sit down and have a discussion about the compromises you will both make. i really dont know what to do. Never for one second did we assume our dogs were our children. Also, youre flat out insulting Infertile folks whose only babies could ever be their fur babies and for people who have only ever been truly loved by them aside from their human counterparts. He is well behaved, obedient i took him to puppy classes i give him love he is not spoiled he listens to me. In your case he made it so clear that his dog is number one in his life and if you were ever to get married to him you will forever take a back seat to that animal and its master.

Not only did he bring his dog on our first date, but the second and third as well. vocally, he is loud in the middle of the night, and first thing in the morning, until he has the ability to be right next to her. He had some trouble with house training but overall was doing well. He just took her in and expected me to be on board. And yes my partner is obsessed with his dog, what he eats, he cant havw treats, B12 and other injections have to be given to him, other medications, etc. If sleep deprivation was the worst of it, I could live with that but as many people have mentioned in their cases, there is always drool around the house and hair everywhere and I mean at the end of the week you could fill a small garbage bag. All I want and preach to other people is compromise and Im still somewhere trying to find that.
