24-year-old man-child demands to move into 22-year-old girlfriend's house with his yappy family dog, she stands up for herself and her peace: 'I do not like his entitlement and his dog’s behavior'

We have to say this at least once, animal fam: just because you have a small dog does not mean that you don't need to train them. Maybe we're going to get some flack for this, but 90% of the problematic pups we've encountered in our lives were small doggos that were untrained. Just because you can pick them up and carry them doesn't make them any less in need of human intervention. It's not just about learning to sit and lie down; it's about you teaching them the rules of the world around them. 

If we're being completely honest, we 100% stand behind the girlfriend in this post. She doesn't want her man-child boyfriend to move in with her, in an apartment she owns, with his yappy family dog. He claims that moving without her would be "leaving his world behind", but we think he's just entitled and wants to get his way. We couldn't be prouder of how she stood up for herself. You go, girl.

    Edit: For those who believe I am asking him to "get rid of the dog", I am not asking for the dog to be rehomed, but to stay where it is at the moment, with his family as she has grown up there and is comfortable and happy there (his parents' words not mine).

    I (22f) have a growing resentment towards my partner (24m) and his dog because I do not like his entitlement and his dog's behaviour. I live in my own bought apartment with my cat and he lives interstate with his parents and his dog.

    We have been planning to move in together for a long time but I've made it known to him that I don't want his dog living with us in my apartment because it's a small apartment, his dog is reckless and aggressive towards cats (she's a Jack Russel Terrier) and she wakes up in the

  • Don't be fooled by their tiny bodies, Jack Russells are energetic dogs. They need exercise and mental stimulation or they will become your living nightmare, despite weighing only around ten pounds. They are not for the faint of heart.

    When we first started dating, he would talk about his dog a lot, and at that point I did like her because I didn't know her way of being so I complimented her for being cute etc. but I always assumed this is their family dog and would stay in their family home if we lived together since I have a cat and know that I could never live with a dog.

    After meeting his dog and spending a few weeks at his family home, I realised quickly this dog could not live with us because of her terrible behaviour and aggression towards other animals - especially cats. 6 months

    He believes that by leaving her behind with his parents, he is leaving his whole life behind. I don't know how to have empathy for this situation because in his situation, I would let my parents take care of my dog so she could have her best

    This is one part. I think that because of all our arguments, and how much he speaks highly of his dog, I've also just grown a hatred towards his dog. I hate her. Her behaviour, her hours and hours of barking, her separation anxiety, and her

  • The dog still isn't house-trained? Boy, bye. There is no way we are letting an adult dog that is not house-trained into our house permanently. Fix that dog's problems, then we can maybe talk about him moving in. This is such a basic thing that we're honestly gobsmacked.

    like that is how life goes when you meet someone who lives in a different city, and it makes more sense to move in with someone who has their own place, than move in with someone and their parents. Yes he will miss his family but he's 24 and should know how to be independent if he wants a partner and family.

    Anyway, I've pretty much become this person that hates talking about his dog and just doesn't want anything to do with her but he keeps making me feel like I am evil because | am here "getting what I want" and he is in endless suffering

    want to ignore her even though it's not her fault, it's her family's since they couldn't train her properly and they aren't bothered to do so. There's so much here but I just don't want his dog around. I love my cat and my home and want to live in peace.
