I'm sickened and saddened for you Steph What a tragically spiteful event. It amazes me that anyone could be that evil to treat you or Toby that way. I'm just glad that your no longer it that relationship. I really do feel sick now

I chose the dog,he was my responsibility. its easy to get another husband, but difficult to get a dog that you connect with so well. We are no longer married, and we divorced because of that. I don't regret that decision.
If you agree to a partner about this and rehome the dog, or even worse in some cases, euthanize as mines tried to make me do I think you'd resent them and the relationship would end anyway. So anybody that said this wouldn't be the person you thought you had married or entered into a relationship with. We are doggy people, we don't give in to blackmail like that, our dogs are our kids. Eddie lived for long time, he was a sad, sad boy when I met him but he had a happy life afterwards. I'll miss him forever.
Wow.

Wow how horrible.

Guess im the bad guy




I havent been put in that situation.

In a marriage i would have to let the dog go. I hold marriage in very high regard and would rather lose a dog than a wife.


Obviosly if its put my a girlfriend that aint so serious i would choose the dog.

My OH is not into dogs like i am and he was brought up with one, i wasn't !

I walk them, feed them, groom them etc etc, clean up after them if need be (accidents indoors) and in the garden.

I do rescue work too, collections, shows bit and pieces when i can and he doesn't gt involved in that. I also have foster dogs and he doesn't get involved in that either although i suppose its good he has allowed me to do that bit as he lives in the house too. I can't see the problem, its not like i ask him to get involved its down to me.

Its become a social thing for me too as i have met lots of like minded people, i'm a sociable person he is not, thats fine as long as he doesn't stop me doing what i like to do, he knows if he said anything it would be like a red rag to a bull !!!

See, I don't think my OH would ever say that to me.. he loves them just as much as I do - even if I do spend more time with them than him, but to be fair they are slightly more interesting...

I did used to work with someone who loved dogs but his GF didn't - I told him to get rid of the GF Well dogs are better anyway! - he took it as a joke, we were friends

Oh he likes them but i LOVE them lol he is not as tolerant as i am with them or maybe i'm a bit soft, they tend to take more notice of him, i.e. i let them on the sofas and he hates that, if he walks in the lounge they get off straight away, i have to tell them to get off !

My OH is too soft with them whereas I'm the bad guy, but the OH just wants a dog for the sake of it, I want one I can do things with like Louie and dummy training and clicker training...

My ex-fiancé was very much an animally person too and would never ever had made that ultimatum.

However he spends half of his weekends driving Cain to socialisation class

He would never ask me and he knows full well what the answer would be....
poor Cain lol means to an end for the bf maybe
