How strange.
Your husband had to live up to not only your standards, but your dog's, in order to be privileged to date you.
Lucky him.
My dog is a well behaved and affectionate dog. The only people who don't get along with him are people that actively dislike dogs in general. Which is fine but they are not the kind of people I would want to live with as they are not the kind of people that are ok with having dogs in their living space. I have always had dogs, have been active in dog rescue organizations and dog fostering, and will likely always have dogs. I don't think it's unreasonable to want a partner that is ok with dogs when I have always loved having dogs and want to continue having dogs.
I think dogs are OK and have nothing against them. However--they're very dirty and messy at best. They chew things up, get hair everywhere, crap everywhere, and are generally a source of chaos. Multiple dogs is even worse. I have no problem with dogs per se but do I necessarily want your dog hopping in the bed with me at night? No but that doesn't make me a bad person. Anyone who would put dogs above people has a screw loose. Sorry PP but that's you.
So, in your mind, a single person that has a dog should be willing to give that dog up if a person they've just started casually dating doesn't like their dog because the person they are casually dating is a person and the dog is just a dog? Even though they have no attachment to the person but they have a bond with and an obligation to the dog?

Yikes hopefully after the child is born you'll feel differently.
Hopefully. Currently we could always have another pregnancy. Baby isn't even a real baby yet.
LOL you're crazy aren't you. I feel sorry for your fetus, why not just abort it right now rather than bring it into the hellish world it will face with you as its "mother."

Yes and what's strange is the dog people who refuse to understand that even if it doesn't bother them (because they're "strange"), they should understand why it might bother a normal person.

I'm the 16:18 poster and this is exactly why I wasn't interested in dating a person that dislikes dogs. Either I would end up miserable because they wouldn't want a dog around ever or they would end up miserable sharing their home with an animal they view as disgusting, dirty, etc.

To non dog people dogs are pretty disgusting. The idea of them sleeping in your bed, rubbing their slobbery face on your couch etc is beyond disgusting.

And yet the woman who posted that sentiment doesn't perceive herself as the batshit crazy gal she truly is.
