A man says he won’t give up the habit of letting his dog sleep in his bed to appease his girlfriend, who now lives with him.

In a post published for Redditanonymous writes that his girlfriend moved “recently” and that his dog has been “with me for 7 years since he was 12 weeks old.”

So far, the friend and the dog do not get along as roommates.

“That night she pushed my dog ​​in the chest with both hands and is a little mad about him sleeping in the bed,” the man writes. “At first it was about the hair, so I washed a ton of sheets, blankets, pillowcases, just to have backups and always have a sheet over the bedding we use.”

He continues: “I don’t like her being aggressive towards my dog ​​and I find it off-putting. She thinks my dog ​​is jealous and doesn’t love her. I think she is dramatic and I will definitely get rid of her before he does. .”

The dog, he adds, “has been my healer in life and taught me a lot about anger and not being depressed… He’s like my son, my brother and my best friend.”

Now a man is taking to the internet for advice, asking fellow Reddit users: “Should I give her an ultimatum or just move on to someone who respects my boundaries? And am I crazy to put my dog ​​who slept next to me for 7 years because of a new relationship?”

Commenters weighed in, suggesting that perhaps the pair were not compatible.

“If one partner wants a pet and the other doesn’t, it can cause serious resentment and a rift in the relationship,” wrote one commenter.

Still, others suggest that a compromise may be in order.

“I wouldn’t want to date someone who made it clear I was second only to their dog,” wrote another. “It’s implied in the early stages of a relationship, and I wouldn’t dare be the ‘first’ right away.” However, it would be a red flag for me if it was constant over months or years.”
