A dog is a man's best friend for a reason; they always have your back. But can we say the same about your bestie? I'd like to think so, but sometimes you can't know for certain until you or they are faced with a moment of truth. That's exactly what happened with these two childhood best friends when their friendship was put to the test.

You always dream of the moment when your best friend and boyfriend meet for the first time. You plan it out in your head and hope they get along as well as you get along with both of them, but that doesn't always happen. One best friend invited her bestie and new boyfriend to stay at her house, hoping to bond and start things off strong. But one insult after another regarding her dog made patience wear thin. Who's more in the wrong here? Should both best friends be expected to stand together against one's partner? After all, it's your house, your rules, you'd think that would apply here. Maybe the real question we should be asking is what kind of etiquette class does this boyfriend need to buy after this? Hopefully this friendship can be salvaged after this drama.

    She also accused me of "overvaluing" my dog and making her feel like she had to choose between me and him. I told her that I'm not going to let someone disrespect my dog in my own home, and if that means they can't stay, then so be it.

    I (29F) have a dog, Max, who I absolutely adore. He's been with me for five years, and I treat him like family. He's a little quirky but very

    Everything seemed fine at first, but on the second day, her partner started making rude comments about Max. He called him ugly and annoying, and

    when Max tried to get attention, he made a face and said he was "too needy." I laughed it off at first, thinking maybe he was just joking or didn't understand how much I love my dog.

    However, the comments kept coming. He even told me that I shouldn't "spoil" my dog and that it was "embarrassing" to let him sleep in my bed. I tried to

    Lambsenglish Top 1% Commenter It's not really about the dog. Dude was tacitly insulting you. He shouldn't expect another invite to your home if that's how he wants to roll.

    JanetInSpain "Just a joke" is the rallying cry of every buy on the planet. Your friend's BF is a bu y. Also sounds like she's not really your friend anymore. You are not being selfish. She's being a jerk. Do not feel guilty.

    Accomplished Face4534 If someone is that demeaning to a dog they just met, I hate to think what he would say to her or about her behind her back. I don't think she should stay with the dude. Sounds like an ab er
