If you are a pet owner, you had better find a partner who is fond of your fur babies. A relationship will unlikely last very long when the couple does not share the same feelings for the
animals in their house. However, what if your significant other lied to you about their true thoughts about your pets when you start dating? That is the dilemma a Reddit user called
u/Academic_End9102 took to social media for advice.

The poster has been with his girlfriend for nearly a year until now. Recently, their relationship seemed rocky when the girl, who used to be sweet and considerate, tended to be more judgmental and discontented. She offered more demands and requests and forced the Redditor to comply, which made the guy uneasy.

The girlfriend’s most unreasonable requirements were towards the posters’ dogs. At first, she told the guy she was a dog lover, so she would love to meet his dogs. Then, her mind changed out of nowhere, and she said she had dog allergies. Gradually, she made the boyfriend keep his dog away from the bed and the couch. The Redditor realized her true color when she disapproved of having dogs as they restrained the couple’s social activities.

The situation snowballed when the girl insisted that the dogs would not be allowed to set foot in the bedroom if the couple moved in together. The Reddit user believed she would continue those demands until the dogs were kicked out.

The guy adored his dogs so much that he would never rehome them. Nonetheless, he was hesitant to break up with the girlfriend just because of the pets, so he consulted the public to reach a final decision.

In response to the post, most commented that the girlfriend’s manipulating nature showed up after eight months of dating. She tried to control the poster’s life, and the situation seemed out of line. Moreover, she deceived the boyfriend by saying she liked dogs while she did not, which was enough to stop the relationship with her.

Some thought the red flags were so clear that the poster should not think twice about breaking up with the girl. The dogs would be so miserable, even in danger, if they had to live with her under the same roof. One user asserted that the Redditor must have had his own choice, and he only needed public support to pull the trigger. Unsurprisingly, the netizens rallied behind him and hoped he could cut his losses asap.
