One of the biggest differences between people having pets (or used to have) and ones who don't, is the position of
animals in their hearts. Pet owners appear to have a tighter emotional bonding with the animal world and tend to treat animals as humans unconsciously. It proves that love can cross any border and erase every prejudice. However, from time to time, that boundaryless affection isn't acknowledged, which can lead to a breakdown of a human-to-human relationship. Let's read the story below to see how it works!

The story was pinned on the spicy subreddit
r/AmItheA**hole by a user with her account name
u/throwra434345. Her boyfriend had a pet dog, who had been sick recently and was brought to the vet clinic. There, the couple was informed the dog had cancer, which made his owner burst into tears with his knees bending on the ground and everyone around putting their eyes on him. The OP was so embarrassed that she struggled to drag him out of the office and drive him home.

After the heartbroken man got a little calmer, the OP gave him a piece of her mind that she wished he could have been more solid and firm and that she didn't hope to see her man collapsing pathetically. He counter-offended that she was insensitive and cared about saving her face more than his feelings. They got in a big fight, and after it, a cold war.

Redditors commented below the pinned post to condemn the OP's acts and words. They didn't accept her explanation and accused her of being unkind and discriminative. They supposed everyone at the vet clinic that day was even more comprehending than her. More than that, she was more obsessed with his weeping than trying to back him up. Instead of soothing him, she chose to complain about his reaction. Whether she said it right or wrong, she had treated him harshly and compassionlessly.

In addition, softer Redditors gave the OP some advice. They pointed out that she had failed to be a decent lover, so if she desired to remain in the relationship with her man, she needed to apologize and make it up to him. In case she realized he wasn't her dream man matching her expectation, the couple should think twice about being together in the future.
