OP Gets Herself A New Pup, Unthinking BF Totally Freaks Out

Young love is a beautiful thing, no? Alright, alright, let us amend that statement. Young love is a beautiful thing when both parties know how to communicate and are focused on building a healthy, positive future together. Is that better? It sounds nice, right? Well, unfortunately for one young woman who turned to Reddit this week, that is a far, far cry from what's going on in her love life. Here's the situation: OP and her boyfriend have been together for a whopping three years already, and they're both just 21! Those are some formative years to spend together, so hopefully they'd have learned how to express themselves when they're disappointed by now. Unfortunately, as you might already be able to tell by our tone, that's not what happened in this situation.

After a few discussions throughout the years about getting a dog when they moved in together, OP started realizing that that prospect was well away on the horizon. So, she pivoted and began asking her boyfriend if he'd be alright with her getting her own dog. And, at first, he agreed. But, all of a sudden, once OP pulled the trigger and got herself her pooch, this gaslighting scrub started hammering her for doing it without his permission! As if she needs permission to do what she wants in life! OP was not only insulted, but confused, and rightfully so. If you're planning on spending your life with a person, that is not the type of reaction you'd expect when you go to do something that makes you happy. So, she turned to Reddit to see how they felt about the situation, and the rest is all history. You can see for yourself what the people of Reddit had to say right down below! Enjoy!

These Two Have Some Big Plans

After a few years of dating, these two decided to start talking about the future. Sounds like the time to do it, no? But, it seems like all of their discussions are tinged with this weird, red flag-esque color. Why is he so obsessed with OKing her decisions? This already sounds a little unhealthy to us.

Uh-Oh, Now We See The Problem

This is pretty disgusting behavior by OP's boyfriend. If you significant other is trying to explain themselves to you, the last thing in the world you should be doing is shutting them down and refusing to let them speak. The only way a relationship can grow is through communication, and it looks like these two have hit a pretty major impasse.
