You are the same guy who after arranging to go spend Xmas with her parents you cancelled last minute to go to NYC with your friend, now you want her to give up her dog...
 

If that's the case, OP sounds very selfish and everything has to come his way, very entitled that the world must revolve around him only.

But, didnt his GF already break up with him in the other xmas thread?

[K.K.]

Nah man, you’re screwed. The first guy that said they didn’t like my dog would be o.u.t. I have a neighbor that’s always tryin to holla. But my dog sniffed him and growled. That’s all I need to know. Uh uh. No. 

[jspice]

Are you even for real??

You’re completely self-centred. You clearly put yourself and your needs above her and she was right to break up with you. 

I would choose my dog any day.

Having a relationship is about compromise; going to a dog trainer is a perfectly acceptable answer in this situation. Also, you ever hear of redirected aggression? It is a natural thing that happens in animals; when they fight, they will attack whoever intervenes sometimes just out of sheer aggression, it happens and is very believable... Also, vet bills are expensive af, and what about her parents? Youve just decided her parents are caring for an animal now? 

You are completely unreasonable, but because she's gonna move into your house, you can tell her how its gonna be? lmao, you clearly havent lived with many women before... This never would of worked out anyways, so dont be to bummed about it.

I'm amazed she took you back after you bailed on the Christmas plan. 

You're on crack if you think any woman is gonna give up her beloved pet to live with you. 

You have a LOT of growing up to do. 

This thread makes me wanna bow down and worship my man, a mature man who treats me right.

[Caauug]

OP are you for real??? How can anyone think like this? It sounds more like you are just trying to stir us all up....

[Gr8fuln2020]

fly_five,

I don't know about you bailing on your gf during Christmas, but no way did she dump you for a 'dumb' reason. I am not a pet owner and never really have been, but I am quite aware how attached people are to their pets. How in the world did you think it was okay for your gf to give up her dog, but not your own?! She did make an offer of compromise...you shot that down. Ugh.

[CautiouslyOptimistic]

How do you know her parents would even take the dog?  

[Dragi1016]

This OP is got to be trolling us? There's no way somebody could be that stupid and naive to think about leaving there Dog for you seems reasonable.  Dude if your real get some help you are way to selfish for a relationship 

[assertives]

Good on her. She (and her dog) dodged a bullet. So now her family knows you as the guy who bailed and shat all over their Christmas plans surrounding you and the same guy who told her to dump her dog with them because you hate her dog and it's not welcome in your home. It's not a dumb reason to break up with someone. It's a very valid reason to and a good call. You displayed how selfish you were with your Christmas shenningans and you doubled down and upped the ante of that selfish behaviour with making her get rid of her dog to live with you. I really must hand it to you, you've managed to make everyone in her family (including her dog) dislike you. Sounds like you don't even like her that much, why even bother? Just let her go already.

[Piddy]

More importantly, what happened at Christmas?  Hell, my wife even wants to know.  You deserve to be dumped.  There's red flags are obvious here.

1. I feel like this is the dumbest reason to break up with someone-just send the dog to your parents it’s not a big deal. 
2. If she really cared about me she wouldn’t have dumped me for her dog. 

Like I said dumb.

That's exactly what I would have done.  Those dogs are her responsibility and her babies.  I would never tell a woman to get rid of a dog for a man.  That dog will always be there doing their best to love and protect you, and it's wrong to ditch something you have responsibility for.  You, on the other hand, can take care of yourself.  And I would never have a guy who hated my dog (or any dog) in my life.  Again, it's you.

Most people will not give up their pet for a partner as it is not only because they love their pet and do not want to lose it, it is also because of the implications for the future.
A partner who will not tolerate a pet will be unlikely to do so in the future either.
Being pet free or  being forced to tolerate other "more suitable" pets to please a partner may not be a great prospect...
