Girlfriend Wants A Dog, Man Refuses And Tells Her To Pay For The Dog If She Wants One, Drama Ensues

Dogs are adorable but not everyone deserves to have them in their homes.

Pets are not toys that you would get and then throw them away whenever you get bored of them. Dogs are a responsibility. If you can take responsibility, you can have a dog. A Reddit user shared on Reddit how his girlfriend wants to have a dog. She would show him pictures of dogs etc. and tell him to have a dog. OP and his girlfriend have a toddler. OP clearly told his gf that he does not want to invest in a dog. He wants to spend his money on a human. OP works from home so he does not want a dog to be barking in the house. He thinks he does not have time to walk a dog or pay for his bills but OP’s gf wanted a dog.
