Woman's Boyfriend Commands Her To Kick Pet Dog Out Of Bedroom: Internet Weighs In

Hi friends! May people have pets, and many people are in relationships, but 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. Unfortunately, there are also many stories about lovers, or family members, getting into quarrels over their pets. From a woman who brought her fog around her boyfriend's dog phobic brother, to 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, that was a real a-hole move on his part!

Today we have yet another dramatic story about a relationship of a couple being driven apart by someone's decisions about their pet. You see, the protagonist of this story tells us all that her boyfriend "wears the pants" in the relationship. This seems like more his decision, and less her decision, but that's not really important right now. Anyway, the boyfriend told this woman that she can no longer let her dog who she has had since childhood sleep in their bed because it's disturbing his sleep. She begged to at least let the dog stay in the room but on the ground, and he said no. Scroll to the bottom to hear the incredible details of this story:

    Art - Boyfriend "put his foot down" about our dogs

    Wow, based on the title we wanna say that the guy is the a-hole here, but we shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. Time to read further and find out what exactly happened in this story, it sounds to us like there must be some kind of big communication gap between the couple.

    Font - So this is not as serious as a lot of posts on here per say, but I just needed some advice (obviously). So my boyfriend and I have been together around two years. He's definitely the "pants" of the relationship which is totally fine and works out for us. Well, last night he

    So the original poster (OP) says that  "this is not as serious as lot posts on here" but um, we definitely think it is. For one thing, it seems like the power dynamic here is a little bit off. We wonder how they got into this quarrel over letting the dog into their house, it's a bit strange if you ask us. Anyway, no big deal, let's read on…

    Font - on because he can't get a good nights rest with her in the bed. We have a king size bed, granted he is super tall, but I said she could sleep on my side. That was a hard no. I asked if we could just put a dog bed on the floor and have her lay there as a compromise because

    Font - she is a good listener and just wants to be in the room with us. Hard no in that. He basically said sorry, this is the decision and it's just what's happening. I was teary eyed and like I said, haven't ever slept without her so it was a big change. I also felt

    Font - My doodle, however, is extremely sensitive. She whined and cried for a good hour before she calmed down. It might be stupid to some, but it was hard not to cry and really hard to sleep. Any time I brought it up he said we weren't discussing it anymore and to watch tv

    Font - Theliontthatwitch "Wearing the pants" and "taking charge" in a relationship are only appropriate roles when both partners agree on the action mutually. It's not okay when there is a disagreement to unilaterally implement a decision, especially in this case.

    Font - lady_polaris Refusing to even discuss a decision that he made without your input tells me that your boyfriend doesn't view you as an equal. He thinks he's the boss of the household and that what he says goes. You really okay being subordinate to your partner like that? What happens down the road if you have kids and you don't get a say in their future because "he put his foot down?" What about finances? Deciding where to move? Are you really okay letting someone else run your life?
