[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the other hand I know a woman who rehomed her cats for a man and I think a lot less of her as a result. She's had them for years. He was not allergic. He just didn't like them.[/quote]
I would too. [/quote]
I mean, I would think poorly of her as well. [/quote]

I struggle with the idea of being so unattached to pets I'd been with for a long time to do that. I get finding the love of your life but I've been married for 10 years and had my cat for 15, and while I love my husband, it was my cat who laid next to me on the bathroom floor when I had HG through my entire pregnancy and would spend hours puking my guts out. And also when I got laid off and got kind of depressed about it, my DH was supportive but also sometimes stressed me out with questions about finding a new job and money, whereas my cat just cuddled next to me on the couch while I worked on my resume and made me feel like it was going to be okay no matter what.

Anyway, my DH actually likes my cat and gets along great with him and has never suggested we get rid of him. But if I was dating someone and they gave me an ultimatum about my pet, I would pretty much instantly view that as a massive red flag. Even if it was for an understandable reason, like an allergy, the ultimatum speaks to a very entitled, un-empathetic attitude. No thank you.[/quote]
