Pet lovers get stuck in a difficult situation when trying to start a new relationship with their spouse because they are unable to prioritize their partner over their pets. They adore their pets so much that it is not uncommon for them to sleep with them, which may be unpleasant to their partner and cause friction between them, unless the partner is also a pet lover and has no objection to sleeping with them.
OP cherished his seven pets—four dogs and three cats—so much that they shared his king-sized mattress for sleep. A few months ago, OP and his girlfriend Abby started dating, and she was unable to cope with all the animals on their bed when they were sleeping together. They were the reason Abby could not sleep with him and got frustrated because, when she complained about her inability to sleep, OP did not try to train his pets to sleep on their own beds. She was disheartened that OP was prioritizing his pets over her and asked OP to decide between her and his pets.

OP and his girlfriend had to break up because OP was not willing to accept her demands and could not kick his pets out of his bed. OP was so concerned about his pets wellbeing that he could not stay away from them for only one night. OP needs to train his pets to stay in their own beds since it will always become an issue whenever he wants to get into any relationship. No one can accept all these animals on their bed while sleeping with their partner, and he has to manage them to get adjusted somewhere else. What are your thoughts about OP’s situation?
