[quote=Anonymous]OP, me again with the scarred face from a childhood dog attack. What you're describing is not a marriage of equals; what you describe is a world in which it's your husband's way or the highway (even if that highway leads straight to the ER.)

I am a raging feminist and I'm dumbfounded (and depressed) to imagine someone who would justify the unwillingness to protect themselves or a child on the ground of maintaining equality between spouses. If your husband thought it was OK for your toddler to play with a loaded gun, would you go along with that? Making decisions together doesn't give one partner free reign to endanger another, or to endanger their children. Your primary responsibility is NOT to protect your husband's precious 50% vote, but to protect yourself and your child.

There are plenty of compromise solutions that PPs have offered, and there are probably others too. But fixating on a false dilemma - kill the dog or kill the marriage - makes it sound like you've lost sight of what matters here: your family's safety. You are not safe until you and your child are in a different location than the dog.[/quote]
