[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you're being harsh. The dog lives with her. The dog is part of her family. Not a child (and I agree that wayyyyyy too many dog people are overly liberal with their dogs) but asking someone to get rid of their pet is excessive.

If she were bringing the dog everywhere, to stores, restaurants, other people's homes, I'd agree with you. But in HER home? I mean that's where pets are *supposed* to stay.[/quote]

No indication that the escapee woman this troll tried to date considers her dog a child or her child, just that she wouldn’t agree to throw a dog away to please a loser.[/quote]

Yep. He's blaming the dog when there have to have been other issues or else he would have had some flexibility about the dog. He's scapegoating the dog for something else.

He says they were about to move in together. I can't quite believe that if they were THAT level of involved and committed, he and she had not already been very clear about where they both stood regarding the dog. He just seems...jealous of the dog. Like he has to assert dominance over the relationship by making her choose.

I don't have, want or especially like dogs, myself. I loathe the juvenile "fur baby" and "dog parent" crap on social media lately. But even I would never dream of teling someone -- someone to whom I was so close, we were about to move in together, FFS! -- that "It's me or the dog." Only if severe allergies were an issue (and they can be debilitating and a deal-breaker, if the other person doesn't "believe in" your life-wrecking allergies) would it become a sticking point. But even then, there are ways to work with it IF the relationship is truly serious. Clearly this relationship wasn't. [/quote]
