What would you do if your partner brought home a dog or a cat without asking you? There are a whole lot of thoughts that would spin through our head if it happened to us. So here at I Can Has Cheezburger, we've seen our fair share of pets bringing couples, and families, together. From a heroic pet dog saving a baby's life, to a cat who saved a freezing baby, there is no shortage of stories about cats and dogs behaving like heroes. Unfortunately, there are also many stories about lovers, or family members, getting into quarrels over their pets. From a woman who stole her ex-boyfriend's dog right after they broke up to the husband who pressured his wife to adopt a third animal into the house.
Today we have a dramatic story about a seventeen year long relationship, yes that's right, seventeen whole years, being driven apart by someone's decisions about their pet. You see, the protagonist of this story is a grown woman who wants to adopt a cat, but her husband is very against it. Her husband has forbidden her from adopting a cat, but she feels that she is a grown woman, so she's asking Reddit if she'll be the asshole for adopting the cat without her husband's permission. The question is, what does our audience of veteran cat owners think about all of this, what would you guys do in her shoes? Scroll to the bottom to hear the incredible details of this story:
First of all, most people would say that it isn't ok to make such a big decision without your husband. But also, we'll need to hear all of the details before making a decision. If you have strong opinion, make sure to leave it down below in our comments section!
Wow, 17 years of marriage and two kids is significant, it seems like they should definitely be able to work this out no? Especially if they have already had pet cats together. We wonder why it has come to such an ultimatum like this, hopefully this woman will explain it for us.
