There have been instances while I have not been home that my dog will pee on the floor when he wants her to go outside or if he walks into the room (this has happened 5 times over 2 years). Its getting to the point where my boyfriend doesnt even want the dog in the livingroom anymore. Anyways, my solution to that problem when it happened was Im very sorry, I really do love you, but I also love him, and he was here first. The problem is that we live on the noisiest corner of our city because of the traffic and it can get a little stressful. I really thought a girlfriend is suppose to be number one. Break up. I agree with Charlie, you will never be first. When I told my wife about it she told me to call them back to tell them that the dog is staying here (at home with three young children). If you managed to do these things 100% perfectly, your husband/boyfriend wont attempt to rehome the dog. They need our attention just as well. I agree accidents can happen. My husband hates it. I truly love our husky, but this new dog that my husband seems to love is driving me nuts. The toys and bed Ive replaced with my own money. Very Hyopallergenic. It didnt ever bark, but was VERY skeptical of anything and everything. Im going through the exact same thing.., we are on the verge of calling it quits due to the fighting his dog has brought on our relationship and the resentment Ive built towards him. And maybe he is just one of those people who will never enjoy the high energy that some dogs have. Dear, reading your post made me so sad. Let me remind you, he does not pee in the house and he does not go out any more than normal.

I could never get used to those gross drooly dogs but tried a relationship with a dog but it just doesnt work. Ill give you some examples of the hell I have endured. I compromise on everything because of him and he never even bothers to understand me. If your husband/boyfriend needs to get rid of the dog by considering the damage to material items in the home, for example, carpet, you can come up with an alternative to the Floor coverings, especially when you are moving to a new house and husband refuse to take the dog to a new house right away. Love from a non-mongamous creature the same as every other human? I hope it works out for you! I should not have to sneak to pet my dog. I just dont know what to do.. Dan, after 4 years of marriage with my relationship I was subjected to being valued less than my husbands dog, it basically came down to Hes not that I to you type of thing.

Shes fine if its her telling his backstory, but I only have so much time in terms of making suggestions or offering to help. Ive really tried bc I feel terrible for him, but then when we finally moved in together he started to guilt me into doing more things for the dog like walking her on a rotating basis with him. Say your dog is kind of aggressive toward other dogs or any other outside small creatures. If you do so, you will see a huge improvement within a week or two. He said that all he did was pick him up to take him outside. Its so embarrassing to know these things. I am now sleeping on the couch. No thanks! They are both 6 months old now, one of them has broken his leg under his watch because he thinks these types of dogs can be left unattended to frolic and have fun with out suppervision, making matters worse, i have kennel trained them both so when I cant supervise them, they are safe- he takes them out of the kennel and lets them loose out in our yard, our dog with the broken leg has now chewed of his cast and his blow off responce was well he would have chewed it off anyway No sir. I love my husband, he is a fantastic man, in every way. He got the dog when he was single and lonely, and it filled the place of a girlfriend. this rat terriers was given a time out in a bedroom, closet or backyard when the barking started. Thanks, Nikki. its annoying. What a jerk. Dogs do not fail us, we fail the. That wasnt good enough, he wanted him out of the bedroom. I love dogs but not wolves. Im I right or wrong ?! I love animals but lets get real here! Shes kind of mean to him tells me things like your dog is gross when hes licking himself between the legs (well, thats what dogs do). Apologizing and thinking we can both move on didnt do the trick either. Cats are cleaner than dogs and very easy to take care of. I tell him to get her off and he just thought it was no big deal -_- and in the pictures he was sending it felt like I was seeing a couple being all snuggly on two couches and he would tell me she would stare at when he wakes up or falls asleep. I wanted the dog and now I dont anymore. . The rest of the day he is with his dog. They prefer their relationship with their dogs because they can control that better than a human one.

Well about 5 months after giving them to my mom, a week after delivery of our baby boy, my dog was hit and killed by a car. You deserve a warm man in your bed who physically and emotionally loves you. You are very lucky to have a supportive partner. I read about training and raw food and Chihuahuas themselves. I have thought about just waiting it out until he dies but even a couple years of this could seem like a lifetime. thanks. Oh yes and car crazy will jump through windows to get in a car to make it stink, cover it in hair and rub its arse on a seat that I am meant to sit on. The next time I walked in, the dog was on the far right end of the sofa. Grrrrr. Bathe the dog on a regular basis. She sits between your legs staring at you while you eat. I went into the relationship not thinking my pets would be a problem,but since he has virtual power over the household, he has decided that they have to go. I knew she had them, and I honestly didnt think it would be a problem. Rescue your marriage: find a new, permanent home for the dog and dont buy any more animals without first talking it through. The damn creature will go down, spend an inordinate amount of time staring at blank air, and practically doing anything but what it was crying to do earlier in the house. No, we are building our own home and I feel that at this point, we have the decision to take the dogs or not and finding them a good new home where they have space to run around instead of sitting inside all day with no people around. Not loved his dog, he was in love with his dog. She is a nervous wreck, greedy, drools when we are eating, steals puggles food, bullies puggle her bed is in the hallway and often puggle stops and cries as is nervous to walk past her, also she sometimes growls at him when we are not in same room (my partner says the puggle cries because he is a whimp and she growls at him because she is jealous of puggle as he gets more attention from me) also she often runs away and pretends not to hear us calling when we take her for walks, sheds so much hair everyday,smells awful even after showering, she rolls herself in other animals mess in the park, jumps into bed or sofa when we are not at home knowing she is no allowed on due tomorrow o weight, smell, and shedding (my partner says he lets her in bed when Im not in, supposedly because he feels sorry for her, why the hell would he tell me such thing knowing I cant stand it ?) I should have SAID no! If I went next door and saw another woman and she gave me a good meal, I wouldnt suddenly be in love with her and tell my girlfriend its over. I will say he is really good at caring for her and feeding her.. but also thinks she is toy take out when he see fit and then when she ask up doesnt know when to play and not knowing the difference and then gets yelled at.. out of control I can handle most.. saddens me.. .. its her baby and thats how theyve always been. i said look ive tried to learn to live with him..im on edge constantly from watching him like a hawk around the baby..ive exhausted myself trying to get you to see that im not just being mean ..im concerned for my baby and for the baby on the way there is no way in hell i can deal with a newborn and that dog..but all that aside i just wanted to sleep without him keeping me up all night for once and cuddle my husbandhe said well go lay down where you can sleep then babei was floored..basically hes saying my concerns and needs and wants are not important at all to him..and im second to his dogi got upset and cried and said some things i didnt mean..but hell who wouldnt at that point.he looked at me hateful as could be with the dog laid in my spot all up on his side and said if you dont wana sleep with the dog then get the hell out of the roomwhat do i even say or do anymore? He wont eat and acts weird. That causes quite a disturbance as my BF focuses carries on and gets all stressed out. You mention shes lazy about taking him out. It violates their commitment to their dog. WHAT DO I DO??? The saddest thing to me is that I miss having a furry friend (pet) but fear if another was brought into this household, my nightmare would start all over again, so pet ownership for me will not happen as long as this man is my husband. You have to word it differently than get rid of as these dog worshippers are very sensitive to that. My boyfriend now wont go near him and yells at him to get away from him and ignores him, so my dog gets upset and keeps trying to see him. My first dog was older when they met and therefore very sedate, the second dog was not into people, other dogs, she was very reserved, so having a puppy around freaks him out. He just puts the bulldog on a pedestal and it causes lots of issues and arguments. Im pregnant and due in a few weeks and have hit a point where I need him to get rid of the dog. I have to set this up for you. Having a fenced yard would really help. ! Sorry for the monologue! I really dont want to lose either of them.

I keep saying if things are to be and work then I hope they will if not.. okay with that too. Its really lonely when it seems the dog is all the company you have. I now have to allow one of the dogs to sleep in our bed though she holds it in her arms with her back to me. I love my dog and it hurts me when I see him getting treated this way while I try to treat both of them fair. i wanted to embark on a new relationship, and instead of prevented from doing so, because of the current interference from the cat. It is all something he is obligated to do, it doesnt come from the heart or a place of concern because if it did we wouldnt be having these arguments and if he just did what he is supposed to do in terms of training, we definitely wouldnt have these arguments. I hope youre ok? Take this as a bit of insight as to why some draw so easily to animal company that can not be so easily deterred as human company can. the little dog weighed about two and a half pounds and was covered in ticks had a dislocated back leg and had been being hit and swung around by the legs punished for no reason being left without food or water. If he is not an animal person, you have to accept that is who he is. I found her a better home. the dual personality of the terrier really made the situation worse to the point of being a barking biting alpha dog. To be honest, we cannot complete the obedience train on a specific day because it is a consistent and ongoing process where you can teach the dog new tricks and commands every day. Youre just asking for it t be spoiled and act out and youll never get respect or your SO wont especially. You live your own life and Ill live mine ^_^ Being human doesnt mean I have to cater to the emotional needs of you or others. My advice to anyone thinking of getting a dog is to be really clear how your partner feels about them first.

He has done somethings like give the dog his own room (which I still believe he belongs outside), because he cant walk around the house and spread his dander everywhere that Im allergic to. I do most things for the dog but he will feed it and pick up poo, though I tend to try and stop him stop since he makes it clear he really hates it (but this just annoys my husband :( ). However, If the dog continues to do so without any improvement in behavior, that can be the reason why your husband/boyfriend wanna get rid of the dog.
