38-year-old man has a meltdown when 29-year-old dog mom girlfriend spends her remaining money on medicine for her sick dog instead of spending it on him: ‘You’re acting like I shouldn’t be prioritizing his comfort or wellbeing’

If you asked us to, we would jump in front of a moving vehicle to save our doggo. You wouldn't even have to ask us; we would do it instinctively. If we only had $5 left to our name, we would buy our dog food before ourselves. It's our responsibility to provide for them, and we take that responsibility very seriously. Any pet parent would.

There was a time in our lives when we were really struggling. We were living paycheck to paycheck and were having trouble making ends meet. We also had a four-year-old dog to take care of. One month, we had to really tighten the financial belt in order to make sure we could keep our dog fed. Our friends called us "extreme" for not going out and spending any money, but this is what parents do. We put our children (be they four-legged or two) before ourselves. And if you're not ready to do that, then you're not ready to be a parent.

Fluff. Chaos. Drama! Our weekly cat newsletter has it all - subscribe here.

She got off lucky. It seems like dog medicine has gone up over the last couple of years. We had to give our doggo some antibiotics recently, and we were appalled at the price of them. And the best part? Not even covered under our dog's insurance. Great.

If you can't understand that the dog's health comes before seeing you, then we might as well just end it here. This man is lazy and childish. What does he bring to your relationship? It better be really good if you're willing to put up with this kind of attitude.
