    Font - Aita for refusing to leave the bar with my GF early to go check on her dog, and telling her that her dog is not my problem. I've been dating this woman l'll call Julie for a year and a half. We are both 24. Julie is great but if there's one thing I don't love about her is that she's one of those "dog moms". Like constantly referring to her Yorkie (I think that's what it is) as "her child" which I can't stand. She has a stroller that she takes the dog out in that I find utterly ridiculous.

    Font - Julie and I were at a bar over the weekend with some of our friends. A couple of friends came in from out of town and it was great getting to be back with everyone. We got there at 8, and by 10-11 Julie started to get paranoid. She started saying we needed to leave soon because the dog has been crated for too long. She kept making small comments letting me know she wanted to go and was getting upset. I finally decided I had enough and I asked to talk to her outside away from everybody. I

    Font - She got angry and told me that not supporting the dog is not supporting her. I said there's a difference between supporting a dog and revolving my life around one. And the latter is not something l'm willing to do. She ended up leaving and I stayed. We got in a fight when I got home and she's been weird ever since. I apologized if I sounded rude and hurt her feelings but I still stand by the principle of what I said. It's a dog, not a kid, you can leave your dog at home for however long t

    Product - safetythird3 · 18h · Partassipant [4] Just break up with her. You can't even feign caring about something that is clearly very important to her. Worse, you look down on her for being passionate about something she loves. Let her go find a dog loving partner and you can go ahead and date someone who doesn't have any obligations besides you.

It's a dog, not a kid, you can leave your dog at home for however long to go live your life Stupid comparison, you cannot just "leave a dog for however long you want." G Reply 1 875 3 ...

    Font - Birdonahook • 12h YTA. If you were an adult man, you would have had an honest conversation with your girlfriend. It would have went something like this "hey, I know you're worried about the dog, do you mind going home and checking on it while I stay out with my friends?". But you took the immature, narcissistic path, deciding that her worry and the dog were both all about you. That is pretty AH behavior. Second, as a dog owner... yes dogs affect your schedule, get used to it. Sometimes yo
