Girlfriend Made to Choose by Boyfriend Between Him and Her Sometimes Aggressive Dog, Wonders If Choosing the Dog Makes Her Irrational
A girlfriend got hit with a brutal ultimatum, and the worst part was how normal it sounded coming from her boyfriend. One minute they were dating, the next minute he was demanding she choose, him or a dog that was already living in the house.
To make it messier, the boyfriend wasn’t just “not a dog person.” He was described as sometimes aggressive, the kind of guy who could turn tense fast. Meanwhile, the girlfriend’s dog was acting like it had the full story, watching him, clocking the vibes, and basically refusing to be impressed.
And when the dog seemed to know something was off, she started worrying she was the irrational one for picking the animal.
Dogs Can Read People.
I'm 70 years old. Experience has taught me that you should choose the dog every time.
Dogs are great at reading people. Trust the dog.
She Made a Wise Choice.
Actually, you’re pretty darn intelligent. The dog will always be loyal, love you, and protect you from abusive, demanding boyfriends.
If the OP Chooses Her Dog, Everyone Wins.
You made the right choice choosing the dog. I’ll bet the boyfriend was “sometimes aggressive,” and hey, maybe the dog won’t be aggressive with the boyfriend gone.
Everybody wins!
Ultimatums in Relationships Don't Work.
Ultimatums are toxic words and actions; they can never fix any problems. Show him the door and wish him happiness somewhere else.
Maybe That Sometimes Aggressive Behavior Is Caused by the Dog's Sixth Sense.
Well, who responds well to an ultimatum? I had this experience once.
I was dating this guy, and we had a husky mix at the house I was renting. This guy I was dating hated the dog, but I think it’s because the dog didn’t like him!
Rex turned out to have been right! He was protecting me!
The guy slapped me once for taking off my seatbelt while he was parking. I told my late mother, who was about 76 at the time, and she said, “No real man hits a lady. I want you to break up with him, dear.”
Of course, I listened to my mum. Listen to your dog because he/she is protecting you.
Animals have a sixth sense, and the dog senses danger. Just lose this guy’s number and take the dog with you for safety. Treat your dog like your best friend! 🥰🐶🐶🐶
It's Hard to Be in a Relationship with a Guy Who Gives Ultimatums.
HELL NO! YOU GO, GIRL!
Dogs have a great sense of character. Your dog decided that jerk wasn't good enough and not the right guy for you.
He's the kind of guy who always has to have his way, or he'll pout. Boo hoo!
Do you want to be in a relationship where he’s always going to give you an ultimatum? Tell him to kiss your ultimatum and tell him to leave.
It Knows the Man Is Up to No Good.
Your sometimes aggressive dog knows a charlatan when he sees one—that ‘boyfriend’ is raising the hackles on the dog's neck for a reason. That dog will be your guardian for years to come.
Your boyfriend is up to no good; the dog knows it and is acting appropriately.
That’s when the girlfriend had to decide fast, because her boyfriend was pushing the “me or the dog” choice instead of acting like a partner.
It’s a lot like the girlfriend whose boyfriend violently yelled at their dog for getting on the bed.
The situation got even uglier when the boyfriend’s “sometimes aggressive” behavior started feeling less like a mood and more like a pattern.
Then the older narrator chimed in with the husky mix story, saying the dog didn’t just dislike the guy, it seemed to sense danger before anyone else did.
So when the girlfriend chose the dog, it wasn’t just a cute loyalty flex, it was the moment the ultimatum stopped being a negotiation and started being a goodbye.
Maybe the slight aggression of the dog toward the boyfriend gives the OP a signal. Dogs are perceptive creatures; they might sense red flags and aim to shield their owners from harm.
Paying attention to these cues could offer valuable insights into the dynamics of the relationship. The fact that she was given an ultimatum says a lot about what she can expect from her partner in the future.
Would you have done the same thing as the OP?
Now she’s wondering if she really made the irrational choice, or if the dog was the only one telling the truth.
Before you decide between your boyfriend and your pet, read how she found out he was secretly hurting her dog: her secret “sometimes aggressive” boyfriend.
