"Love Me, Love My Dog": Woman Asks Reddit If She Should Stop Letting Her Dog Sleep In Her Bed Because Of Her Boyfriend's Rules

Dogs are not only a man's best friend, but they are also excellent bed partners. They make wonderful foot warmers, are always up for a snuggle, and offer warmth on chilly nights. But is allowing your dog to sleep on your bed really a good idea?
That depends, we guess. Most likely not, especially if you like to keep your space clear and orderly. Dogs can be messy sleepers, drooling and shedding fur everywhere. However, if you enjoy cuddling up with your pet and don't mind a little dog hair on your pillow, just have to let them join you in bed.

To ensure that you both enjoy a decent night's sleep, just make sure to give them their own space. But what if the person you're dating forbids you from bringing your dog to bed? There are several viewpoints on this subject. And that's possibly the reason why one Redditor named u/Fantastic-Manager227 chose to ask the r/dogs subreddit for others' opinions.
The woman loves her one-year-old puppy dog dearly who actually saved her and showed her all the love in the world after her mother passed away. That is why she is so loyal to her. She enjoys cuddling with her and having her in her bed.
Unfortunately, she recently began dating a man who strictly prohibits dogs from being on furniture or in beds. It was a difficult first night. All night long, the small dog outside the door barked and cried. She is the one who made the dog so dependent on sleeping on the bed before taking it away, which makes her feel bad. She feels as though she is the center of her dog's universe today and cannot ignore her.

Some folks would be prepared to give up their dog's space for the convenience of their significant other. And there are those who might think twice about the relationship. Let's see how the community feels about the situation. Actually, most people said the woman should do something fairer with her dog, and her new boyfriend should not set rules in their relationship.
J7SIX reminds her to remember that the dog came first and will remain so; do not let the new partner dictate how she interacts with her. Dogs enjoy sleeping next to people because it mimics how they sleep with other dogs, which gives them a sense of security.

For TheBigsBubRigs, people come and go in your life, so she'd never let anyone interfere with their bond and boundaries. Do you mind if someone else makes these rules for you? If you and your dog are unable to reach an agreement on what you want, you may be in for a world of hurt.

More seriously, Coyotebored83 even suggests dating someone who also loves dogs and sleeping in the same bed with them. She couldn't date someone who was bothered by her dog laying in her bed. And those people should be the ones who weren't sleeping in the bed.
