Disrespectful Girlfriend Can't Understand Dog Grief– Redditors Give Her A Piece Of Their Mind

Everyone handles grief in their own special way, but losing a loved one is always going to hit hard. Plus, if it's a pet you're losing, it can be even harder. You hear people say that their pets are like their kids, or that they spend 24 hours a day with their pets, so it's understandable how losing a four-legged member of your family can be so difficult and sad.

On Reddit this week, we came across an example where someone was going through that, but their significant other wasn't giving them any sympathy whatsoever. This person even had the audacity to turn to Reddit and ask if they were being an asshole when they told their boyfriend to stop overreacting to his dog's cancer diagnosis– as if you can overreact to something like that!

Understandably, Reddit snapped back. Users on that website are most well known for being animal lovers, and incredibly judgmental (in that order), so it's no surprise that anyone who read this post had a pretty strong opinion about it. And, as it seems to happen pretty often when animals get involved, the answers were for the most part unanimous! People just couldn't believe that this terrible girlfriend would even consider herself to be in the right after acting so disrespectfully towards her partner and their pain. But, maybe after reading the few choice words that commenters in the thread had for her, she'll change her ways and start being a better partner. Regardless, the way that Reddit decided to lash out had us dying, so we wanted to give you a look. Take a peek down below and you'll see what we mean!

01
She Can't Be Serious

Right out of the gate, we can tell that this person isn't winning many sympathy points. She keeps referring to her boyfriend's dog as "the dog" and "his dog," but never as "our dog." She questions the response her boyfriend shows towards this news, but doesn't take the time to try to comprehend what that news means. The whole thing just screams self-entitled, and we already feel bad for the boyfriend just from this little blurb.

We're Sorry, What?

Alright, now this is going too far. Having an opinion, or looking at your significant other funny because they respond to something in a way you disagree with, that's one thing. But, trying to manage and manipulate your significant other's trauma response is one of the most toxic things we've ever heard of. If anyone needs to get a hold of their emotions, it's clearly her.
