Now, ever since then, his girlfriend and his girlfriend’s brother have both moved out. And even though he and Ann have not officially broken up, he claims he has not heard from her in a few days.
He also realizes that the result might seem a bit harsh. However, he admitted that he really views his dog Bo as his family.
Bo was with him during some of the most challenging times in his life. Plus, his dog was a rescue– meaning that Bo had also been abandoned once before. And he refused to let that happen ever again.
“I feel nothing for Al, and while I thought I loved Ann, her willingness to get rid of someone I love as much as she made my feelings change,” he vented.
After he tried to explain this entire situation to his family, though, his parents and sister just did not understand. Instead, they told him that he should have at least considered the possibility of getting rid of Bo for Al’s sake. Plus, they claimed that they could have even watched Bo for the time being. That way, his dog did not have to go to a shelter.
Finally, they actually told him that if he really viewed Ann as his family– which he admits he did at one point– then he should have been willing to make that sacrifice.
Quite frankly, though, that was just not a sacrifice he was willing to make for his girlfriend. And now, he has been left wondering if that makes him a total jerk or not.
Do you think he was clear enough about his boundaries up front in terms of not getting rid of Bo? Why do you think his girlfriend did not take that seriously and kept pushing for him to rehome his dog? Do you think he had a right to give Ann an ultimatum after opening up his home? If you had been in his shoes, how would you have handled this situation?
