Self-Righteous Boyfriend Mansplains To GF How She Should Take Better Care Of Her Dogs

Everyone and their mother has an opinion on how to raise pets and children. But opinions are like a$$holes, everybody has one and most of them stink. The general consensus from the moral judges of Reddit seem to indicate that the boyfriend in this story is an a$$hole. OP has two dogs. She has been taking care of these dogs long before the boyfriend came into the picture. OP just made the decision to open up her home to her boyfriend. She has regretted this decision every day since he's been there. Her boyfriend keeps making snide comments and remarks about every thing she does with her dogs. He doesn't approve of her dog-walking schedule or the way she makes herself coffee before tending to the dogs breakfast. This does not bode well for any potential future collaborative efforts as a couple (kids, general finance management, etc.). Self-proclaimed experts at anything are almost always raging you know what's. Keep reading for the juicy details.

    via U/Rub5120

    Who has ever heard of a 'pet intervention?' She keeps the dogs fed, loved, groomed and happy. What else could you ask for? She gets the dog's toys on their birthday. Her boyfriend think that's not enough. He implies she is neglecting them. The nerve...

    Organism - I (f25) have two dogs. 'Abby' (15) and 'Sam' (4). Both were rescues. My boyfriend 'Jim' moved in with me three months ago and I'm losing my mind. Jim had pets growing up and is a self proclaimed 'expert'. Inherently I have no issues with this, but since moving in, he micromanages everything I do with my dogs. Some examples:

    Font - • I feed my dogs two meals a day. The first meal is usually in the morning before I start work around 9am. When I'm in the kitchen, the dogs will sit near me and wait until I set the food down. Jim thinks it's selfish of me to make myself a coffee before feeding the dogs, since food > coffee. If I

    Hair - feed them a little later e.g. 9.30am, then he makes small snide comments. He thinks it's easier to feed the dogs first then make myself a coffee and says its an easy, small change.

    Font - Currently, I walk my dogs during my lunch break at 12.30 but Jim thinks I should also take the dogs for a walk first thing in the morning, because they have pent up energy in the morning and would be more relaxed. He cites Sams morning zoomies as boredom and lacking mental stimulation.

    Font - I buy Sam toys twice a year (Abby doesn't like them), on her 'birthday' and Christmas. I usually buy them within 6 weeks and shop whatever deal is available, but Jim thinks I should buy them more toys. Since moving in, he's bought around 10 new toys and every time I tell him it's too much, he tells me it's the 'bare minimum' to get toys for your dogs.

    Font - I don't take his suggestions and I think it frustrates him. Yesterday, I came home and he tells me we have to talk. I sit down, and kid you not, he begins holding an intervention on my treatment of my pets. Honestly, I lose him. I began shouting and asked him to get out. He told me he was only looking out

    Organism - for me and my dogs, but reluctantly left after refusing for 15 minutes. Animal cruelty is a serious issue, but the micro passive aggressiveness and subtle digs are frustrated, especially when my dogs are well loved and looked after. My friends told me I could've tried out his suggestions and yelling wasn't the right thing to do so, AITA?
