Girlfriend Asks If She’s Doing Something Wrong Because BF Finds It Disgusting That She Kisses Her Dog

People who adore animals and are always eager to adopt them as pets are more likely to be stroked and kissed by them. Their dogs are like family to them, and they are offended if someone mistreats them; hence, it is difficult for them to enter into a relationship with a partner who dislikes their attachment to their pets.

OP became a veterinarian because she enjoyed being around animals after losing her beloved dog as a child, which had a big impact on her life. He rescued Billy, a two-year-old puppy who was the only family she had in the previous six years, and helped her survive in harsh circumstances. She dated Matt for a year, who had a liking for dogs but had never owned one. After moving in with OP, he disapproves of Billy lying on the bed with him. So Billy had to sleep on the floor for a while before being forced to leave the room by her boyfriend. The trouble started when OP kissed Billy’s head to calm him down after the fireworks terror, and Matt freaked out and ordered her to clean her face before sleeping with him. Read the entire story to learn about the OP’s dilemma, and then offer your thoughts in the comments area below.

14. Redditor suggests that OP reconsider their relationship because her boyfriend is completely contrary to her personality when it comes to animals.

15. Indeed! A vet who loves to live with animals and others who disapprove of giving affection to them are incompatible.

16. Redditor thinks that while OP’s boyfriend’s other complaints are unjustified, it is reasonable for him to object to sleeping with a large dog on the same bed.

OP’s boyfriend was aware of her preferences and expressed his interest in pets several times to garner her attention, but as their relationship progressed, he changed and began criticizing her conduct toward her dog, whom she adored more than anybody else. If OP had known beforehand that he thought it was nasty when she showed affection to her dog or other animals, she would never have stayed in a relationship with him. OP cannot avoid animals because, first and foremost, she loves them, and second, she is a veterinarian, thus it is ridiculous to expect her to be immune to their touch and kisses. What is your perspective on the OP’s situation? Whether she continued her relationship or ended it with the man who refused to acknowledge her love for her dog?
