Relationships can be tough, and marriage even tougher! It's all about compromising and finding a middle ground between the two parties. Sometimes, you are not going to be thrilled about some of your spouse's ideas, but it's your job to be supportive as well as offer your own guidance and advice. Getting a dog is a big decision, and both parties really need to be on the same page about it.
The couple featured in this delightful AITA thread appeared to be on the same page at first, but once the doggo was brought home, things took a turn. After formally agreeing that the dog would not be sleeping in the couple's bed, OP, AKA the husband, was less than pleased when his wife permitted the dog to jump up into bed with them. Well, that's not cool. She explicitly agreed that the dog would NOT be on the bed, and then just completely disregarded the fact that she made that commitment to her husband. It seems like the dog is not the source of the issues here, rather the wife's inability to uphold the agreement that she made prior. We sure hope this couple figures this debacle out and come to a compromise.
If you ask us, nope.
He said yes, but he had some conditions. One very reasonable condition was that the dog would not be sleeping on OP and his wife's bed.
"I began to tell if no but my wife shushed me and said that it really isn't a big deal, I told her that I didn't want the dog sleeping up here and she told me that the dog just loves us so much and told me not to be a jerk."
But wait- didn't OP's wife agree that the dog would not be sleeping in their bed??
