    My gf left my front door open and my dog is now missing. Should I break up?
  • 02
    I, 24f, have been with my gf Mia, 22f, for about 8 months but we have been friends for about a year before we got together. Ever since she has known me, I have had three dogs. I love all my dogs and have expressed this to her
  • 03
    many times, even when I am upset with them for the little things. To add more context, I live in an older house and my front door can be left open if not shut with a bit more force sometimes. There was an incident when I came home and
  • 04
    the door was open, Mia stayed the night and left while I was at work and didn't close the door properly but thankfully none of my dogs escaped. I told her about the incident and gave her clear instructions that she needs to make sure the door is
  • 05
    shut before leaving my house so my dogs don't escape. Mia stayed the night on Monday and Yesterday while I was at work, I got a call from my older sister letting me know that the door was open and that my dogs were outside. I called Mia
  • 06
    and asked her if she left my door open, she told me she didn't leave it open and made sure that it was closed but that she knew how my door is so it wouldn't surprise her that it was open. When I asked her if she double checked the door, she
  • 07
    said yes. I have a camera in my living room so that I am able to check on my dogs while at work and when I checked the camera, she barely closed the door and did not double check it. When I let her know what I saw on the camera she was

    upset and said she would go looking for her but when she drove around she said she couldn't find them. I was obviously upset and she kept brushing off my concerns. I work an hour away and by the time we all figured out they were gone, it had been 2 hours
  • 09
    that they were missing. It wasn't until I got home that I was able to find two of my dogs but I haven't been able to find my third. The whole time this was going on, she was barely looking for my dogs, she proceeded to get pod at me and my family for telling her to

    get out of her car and look in the woods, and she only apologized when I told her to leave after she continued to make it seem like it wasn't a big deal that they got lost in the first place. I spent all of last night looking by myself and
  • 11
    have cried at the thought of one of my dogs being out there alone. We have had our issues during this relationship but after what happened, I can't look at her without seeing how careless she was with my fur babies.. am I overreacting or should I just forgive her and let this go..

    Edit: I just wanted to add this on here instead of in the comments but yes, I know I need to fix the door. The problem isn't the lock, it can still lock and close completely. The problem is that the door doesn't align completely with the hinge
  • 13
    (idk if I am saying that right) the door does close but you can't softly close it because then it won't fully close, you need to give it a little bit of a push. It hasn't been an issue until yesterday and we are currently fixing other areas in the house

    and haven't made it to the living room as of yet but it's in the works right now. I also wanted to add that I have made flyers and posted on Facebook and Nextdoor.

    Edit #2: thank you all for the comments. I've been very stressed throughout the day and some of your comments made me laugh. I just wanted to let you know that I have not found her yet. I went looking through the woods and almost
  • 16
    got lost trying to find my sweet girl but it started getting dark and I couldn't continue. I am just hoping and praying that she has a good meal and some warmth... I can't think of the alternative. Right now I'm going
  • 17
    to wash all this mud and dirt off me and snuggle with my two other dogs. I will let you guys know if I find her. Thank you so much

    Top-Bit85 · 17 hr. ago We all sw up, but she is acting as if it is no big deal. Your dog is lost, you are frantic, and she is careless, lies about it, then dismisses your fears. Can I break up with her for you?
  • 19
    External_Expert_2069. 17 hr. ago So she lied and couldn't care less about the dogs being lost.... Then made it clear that looking for them was an inconvenience. She sounds horrible. You are not overreacting. Don't you think this would happen again?

    JMaboard 15 hr. ago Yeah she needs to go, if she doesn't have the empathy to care about OP's dogs that's a giant red flag. Like how hard is it to check that the door is closed? Not only could the dogs escape but people can simply walk in and take things.

    Trump_Dabs 17 hr. ago I don't have to read this to say break up with her. My gf has driven around and gone door to door when my cats got out on their own. Gone looking for them when getting to my place while I was at work and realizing the little st ns got out again.

    She always prioritized anything and anyone I loved or considered special and that's one of the many reasons I'm still with her now.

    Willing-Tie-3109. 17 hr. ago Not overreacting at all, if she can't respect the things you value in life and the lives of your pets then she's gotta go. I hope you find the pups
