Guy Finds His Girlfriend’s Relationship With Her Cat Disgusting And Gets Dumped After Confronting Her
Some relationship problems start small, then turn into a full-blown breakup over one very specific issue. In this case, the issue was a cat named Crumb, and the boyfriend was not handling it well. He kept complaining, she kept defending her cat, and the tension only got worse when he started pushing her to punish Crumb and keep him away whenever he visited.
That was enough to send the whole relationship off the rails. Now the friends are split, and OP wants to know whether dumping him was the right call.
This is Crumb, OP’s cat
OP starts her story...
She has a boyfriend who is not accustomed to pets
Things got awkward fast.
And he had started complaining about the cat
Just take a look at him...
Boyfriend had issues with the 'unsanitary' way the cat was behaving
And the list was long...
Crumb likes to cuddle...
Boyfriend doesn't understand their relationship
And wants OP to start punishing the cat
Even lock him away when he is around
That was the point where she asked other people for their take.
This also feels like the couple whose dream dog became a dealbreaker before moving in.
OP asked her friends for their opinion...
Pet owners and non-owners disagreed
So OP broke up with her boyfriend
Crumb never really liked the boyfriend, so he was happy. We guess...
The Reddit comments did not agree on everything.
The Redditors were split. Pet owners supported OP
But believed that laughing in his face was a bit mean...
Rehoming the boyfriend is for the best...
Because he seems like a controlling type
And demanding...
He raised some red flags
This is a good rule...
Not everyone saw the cat the same way.
But some Redditors didn't share the same views...
Some people shared their experiences...
Some people believe that both of them are right...
Some pet owners didn't like the kissing part
The bottom line is:
There is a notable difference between the answers that came from pet owners and those from people without pets. But it’s more complex than that.
We can see that many pet owners support OP but find her actions not so hygienic. Kissing a cat or letting it rub against her toothbrush is just too much, even for pet owners.
On the other hand, people who don’t own pets are totally against her in the hygiene department but support her for dumping her boyfriend. Judging by the OP’s words, he does sound demanding and controlling, and she is probably better off without him.
We agree with them. She should find a boyfriend who likes pets but also works on hygiene a bit...
