Reddit Helps Decides Whether Boyfriend And His Dogs Were In The Wrong

For some reason, we all seem to love reading about other people's problems. That's why Reddit is such a never-ending source of entertainment for us, since everyday there are hundred of posts on the Am I The Asshole and Relationship Advice subreddits for us to get that little dose of schadenfreude from. The one we found today is a doozy though, and it involves a boy, a girl, two dogs, and some bedroom talk.

A few months ago, a distraught young man posted to Am I The Asshole to settle a fight he and his girlfriend were having. Apparently, the lovebirds were discussing moving in with one another, but reached a serious snag when they started disucssing how the boyfriend's dogs would integrate into their new household. But, it sounds like in the girlfriend's ideal world, the dogs wouldn't be a part of the household at all. The boyfriend said he was willing to compromise on the dogs sleeping in the bed, but drew a line in the sand when he said he wanted the dogs to sleep in the bedroom. The woman refused, and then of course, Reddit had to get involved.

One of the interesting things with this situation is how young both of these individuals are. The boyfriend is twenty, the girlfriend twenty-one, and they seem to be pretty serious. Thankfully though, they're talking through their problems before signing any leases or making any changes they'll later regret. We're also thankful for Reddit, whose careful judgement helped everyone to calm down and realize that there are probably no assholes in this situation.

Here's The Sitch

So we mostly explained the situation in the introduction, but here's the full story. This guy and his girlfriend are arguing about the dogs sleeping in the bedroom, and she obviously doesn't want him sleeping in the other room, so they're in a little bit of a pickle. Still, we're a little upset that this guy went on and on talking about his dogs, but he never paid the pet tax! We want to see the dogs, Man!

Reddit Is Always Defending The Dogs

This is where most people came down with their answers. We love dogs, we treat our dogs like family, and they might as well sleep in the same room as you if that's what they've always done. But, as you'll see from the rest of the responses in this thread, most people also agreed that the girlfriend had every right not to want to sleep with the dogs, so there really aren't any assholes in this situation.
