Woman Wants To Know If She's In The Wrong Because She's Asking Her Husband To Re-Home His Cat
A woman’s marriage is now tangled up with a cat, a bulldog, and a pregnancy, and the whole situation has turned into a major family argument.
She says her husband has an 18-year-old cat, while she has a 3-year-old bulldog, and the two animals have never gotten along. After trying to introduce them slowly and make things work, she says the cat still shows aggression toward the dog, which is why she asked her husband to re-home it.
Now she wants to know if she was wrong for making that request, especially with a baby on the way. The comments did not hold back.
Here's the story...She starts off by telling their background and explaining what the situation is and what they've tried so far with the animals.
That's when the cat conflict really takes center stage.
But then....She goes on to say that she asked her husband to re-home his cat.
People are definitely saying that she's the asshole.
A lot of people are saying that they would leave the marriage over this.
This commenter is saying how they introduce pets before moving in together. I'd say this is a smart move.
A lot of people are saying she's heartless for treating the cat this way.
Broken Hearted Commenters
Even people who are allergic to their significant other's animals put up with it. It's just what you do for your loved ones.
A great perspective to consider. How does she think the cat feels?
This is similar to the woman who brought a cat home without her husband’s permission, destroying their already rocky marriage.
They have a point. Senior cats, or animals in general, don't do well with changes like being rehomed at that older age.
I mean, is the cat really prone to hurting people or the baby, or is the OP just being a bit dramatic?
Very true...
This person is right. This is a terrible way to communicate by just telling him to get rid of the cat and rehome it. Where is the compromise?
Commenters are here to give her advice on other alternatives for the cat instead of rehoming it.
"Screw you, lady"
People are really taking this AITA story to heart, so yeah, I'd say she's the asshole.
"YTA, big time"
So many changes a cat goes through with old age can make a transition like this extremely heartbreaking and stressful for them.
Reddit decided it's best for them to cuddle their fur babies extra tight today for this poor cat.
This commenter on Reddit had a lot to say, and most agree with them.
"I'd rehome my spouse real quick"
Reddit is here to the rescue with adoption pages instead of a shelter.
Reddit has come in with a verdict, and it is indeed that the original poster is the asshole. I think we can all say that this story made us feel something at least a little bit.
If anyone has ever had to get rid of a pet or lost a pet, then you know the heartbreak that can come from that. We seriously can't imagine what the cat or husband is going through.
Let us know what you think about this situation and what you would have done.
That verdict was never going to be gentle.
