Girlfriend Made To Choose By Boyfriend Between Him And Her Sometimes Aggressive Dog, Wonders If Choosing The Dog Makes Her Irrational

If your S.O. made you choose between them and your dog, we would not be surprised if you chose the latter. Even statistics reveal that 86% of dog owners would break up with someone who can't jive with their pet.

Having a boyfriend who isn't fond of your dog can be tough. It might even feel unfair if he asks you to part ways with your furry friend for the sake of your relationship.

And for some people, deciding between the two isn't straightforward because every relationship is unique. Pets, particularly dogs, can be quite sensitive creatures.

Your canine friend might be feeling a bit neglected, overflowing with energy, or simply trying to shield you from perceived threats. Regardless, your dog craves affection, too!

While a touch of possessiveness is natural, any signs of aggression toward others should be addressed. Ultimately, pet owners in a relationship need to create a harmonious environment where both the partner and the furry friend can coexist happily.

One Quora user opened up about her relationship problem. Her boyfriend wants her to choose between him and her dog, whom she mentions is sometimes aggressive.

Here is her question:

My boyfriend gave me an ultimatum: him or my “sometimes aggressive” dog. Am I irrational for choosing my dog?

As expected, more people sided with her dog.
