His Fiancée Is Threatening To Get Rid Of His Dog And He’s Not Sure What To Do
This 29-year-old man has a 26-year-old fiancée, and they have been together for just under four years.
Their relationship has been on the rocks for some time, and it all comes down to health issues and money.
They fight constantly, yet they can always manage to find a way to work everything out in the end. Every night they cuddle and tell one another how much they appreciate the other person.
Yesterday evening, things took a terrible turn. They recently adopted a sweet coonhound named Lady that he loves.
Unfortunately, his fiancée does not feel the same way about their dog. She constantly tells him that he’s the only one who wanted their dog and she would prefer not having the dog there at all.
“I knew from the beginning I was the bigger animal person, but I didn’t expect her to react this way,” he explained.
“She’s had dogs in the past, and our cat was hers before we got together. Now it feels like she resents the dog, and I’m always defending it, saying it’s only a puppy, not a robot. It doesn’t understand why you’re upset at her.”
“Now, to get to the story. Normal Tuesday night. I get home a little before her, take the dog out, clean up a little, and wait for her so I can get the bags out of the car. Things were fine. Then she remembers we were getting packages that day and she couldn’t find them.”
She began searching their house in a panic, but he discovered the packages behind their garage cans outside.

As he opened the door for them to walk back into their house, Lady was waiting, and he asked her to back up to they could get through the door.
His fiancée started screaming out of nowhere that he needed to tell his dog to move out of the way.
“I was taken aback by it and asked why she was being so mean about it and why she had no patience for the dog,” he said.
“Her response was she should just listen to us and stay out of her way. Obviously, that’s ridiculous. We’re talking about a 1-year-old, obviously abused shelter dog that’s just now coming around to us and fully opening up.”
“I got mad and defended the dog and started yelling back. After realizing how mad I was getting, I told her I’m leaving for a bit to…calm down. Before I could leave, she came out saying that if the dog doesn’t learn, she’s going to put it outside on a chain.”
He told his fiancée she was not allowed to do that, and his fiancée shot back that if he walked out the door, he would never get to see his dog again.
So, he got out of his truck, and he said if he makes him pick, he’s choosing the dog and not her based on the fact that he should not even be forced to choose.
He doesn’t think he was wrong to say that, since their dog is a member of their family that they adopted and are obligated to properly care for.
It’s not an option to duck out of that responsibility. He has not spoken to his fiancée since all this happened, and he cannot forgive her violence and childish behavior.
What do you think he should do?
