Her Boyfriend Doesn’t Want To Give His Dog Away And She’s Thinking Of Doing It Behind His Back
A 26-year-old woman and her 28-year-old boyfriend recently got an apartment and they are living together for the first time.
Her boyfriend’s dog has also moved in with them, and she was dating her boyfriend for 8 months when he got the dog.
The dog came from one of her boyfriend’s friends who was having a tough time taking care of him.
Prior to living with her boyfriend, she thought his dog was super nice and calm, but that’s not really the entire picture.
Her boyfriend’s dog has separation anxiety, is reactive, and is really not trained well at all, which are all things she didn’t know about before.
“It caused some resentment between my boyfriend and me because I’ve dealt with disobedient dogs before but he’s on a different level and I feel like he wasn’t honest with me,” she explained.
“I was willing to try to keep working with the dog but I recently found out I was pregnant and it’s changed a lot.”
“Now when the dog jumps on me or pulls me too hard and almost drags me down to the ground when I’m walking him it makes me nervous and I don’t see things getting better with him.”
She hates how her boyfriend’s dog smells, and additionally, her boyfriend won’t walk him so it’s all on her to make sure the dog gets any exercise at all.

She has brought up finding a new home for the dog, but her boyfriend won’t do it. She doesn’t feel comfortable continuing to be the one walking her boyfriend’s dog, as she’s concerned she might get injured or that the dog could hurt the baby.
It’s been 6 months since they have all been living together in their one-bedroom apartment, and she thinks that this is enough time to see if the dog’s behavior could change, yet her boyfriend wants her to give his dog more time.
“He’s also going to be leaving to travel for work which is going to leave me home with the dog and a newborn,” she said.
“I don’t think I can handle it. Before I was considering just leaving and moving back in with my parents but this is my apartment as well as his and that doesn’t seem fair.”
“We finally came to the agreement that he was going to give up the dog when he received the position but now he’s backtracking.”
So, her boyfriend did agree to find the dog a new home, but he’s no longer on board.
She has been looking for someone else to take her boyfriend’s dog, and she found a person who is willing to do this.
This person has a big year and lots of time to devote to the dog, so she’s convinced this is a much better home for the dog to be in.
Her boyfriend’s dog is the only problem in their relationship, and while she feels bad about making him rehome the dog, she does think it’s for the best.
She’s currently planning to find the dog a new home behind her boyfriend’s back, and she’s wondering if that’s wrong of her.
