Fear of dogs can be really tough, making it hard to be around friends and family who have dogs or to do regular things. People’s fear of dogs varies a lot. Some are only scared of really large breeds, while others might feel okay seeing dogs on TV but get nervous around real ones.<\/p>\n

Today’s story is about someone who works long hours and has a husband who spends a lot of time alone. When they moved, the husband wanted to get a dog, a Doberman. He had one as a child but had to give it away. He really wanted a dog again, but OP, Reddit user u\/litzomaniaa<\/a>, was against it. She’s terrified of big dogs and isn’t much of an animal person. She asked him to wait until they had a house with a yard. But he got a dog anyway, which made her feel betrayed.<\/p>\n

Their disagreement led to her seeking a divorce. Scroll down below to read the story!<\/p>\n

1. OP’s husband brought home a puppy and she was not happy about it.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2. OP and her husband have after being married for 6 years moved to a new state.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. WHen the two first moved, the husband brought up that he eagerly wanted a Doberman.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4. OP did not want this to happen but because her husband really wanted it, he agreed on the condition that they would get the dog after they rent or purchase a house.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5. She said this so the dog would have ample space to do whatever he wanted to and wouldn’t be on top of each other.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

6. He agreed with OP. However a year later when the two moved into a new apartment, the husband told OP he had put in a deposit for a new Doberman.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

7. OP told her husband he is scared of big dogs so he shouldn’t get it, but he said it was only a puppy so she shouldn’t worry.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

8. The couple erupted in a fight.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

9. The husband had gotten approval from the property manager as well by creating a fake doctor’s letter that he needed an emotional support dog.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

10. OP tried everything in her power to stop her husband from purchasing the Doberman because she was not comfortable living with a dog.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

OP needs to get a divorce from this person. I am so annoyed right now. You can clearly see OP is willing to make a huge compromise here for the happiness of her husband. She has agreed to live with a dog, something she would have never imagined to do, just because her husband really wanted a dog. She only demanded they get the dog after moving into a house so the dog won’t be all over her and would have ample space to do whatever the heck he wanted to.<\/p>\n

But he is still not listening. Shows where his priorities lie.<\/p>\n

11. OP thought she had finally succeeded but one day after returning home from a work trip, the husband brought home with him a Doberman.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

12. OP had no idea about this. She felt betrayed and wanted a divorce.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

13. The husband hasn’t apologized for what he did and OP feels bad that he prioritized a dog he got himself two days ago over his wife of 6 years.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

14. In an edit OP added she was okay with a smaller breed but her husband only wanted the Doberman.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

15. Although getting a house wouldn’t resolve OP’s fear of dogs, it would still make life livable with a dog.<\/h2>\n

Here are some of the comments shared on the story:<\/h2>\n

16. Perhaps OP can report this to an animal-related tribunal or something and have the dog removed.<\/h2>\n

17. Clearly you aren’t his priority. There is no point for this couple to live together.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Via Voleuse<\/a><\/p>\n

18.\u00a0 Taking divorce is the best decision OP would be making.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Via stormoverparis<\/a><\/p>\n

19. Marriages are all about compromises. OP was willing to make one and he wasn’t.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Via ConsistentCheesecake<\/a><\/p>\n

20. And he ignored all of that and just did what he wanted to because he wanted to. That is not a partnership.<\/h2>\n
