Husband Refuses To Look After The Dog His Messy Wife Bought
There are more dog owners now than ever, and it's become a trend, especially with kids and couples living together but aren't yet ready for a child. The increasing popularity of dogs means that more and more dogs are getting adopted from shelters, and that's great to hear, but the problem is that there are lots of people adopting dogs when they aren't ready for the responsibility.

Dogs are great for so many things and we should be grateful they exist because it just wouldn't be the same without them. Understandably, so many people want to adopt dogs because of how awesome and fun they are but owning a dog is a huge responsibility and you have to make sure you have the time and money for a pup.
Not everyone can own a dog and it's a harsh reality that we have to be aware of because if we don't accept the truth then a lot of dogs are going to end up in homes where they'll be mistreated. This isn't to say that you shouldn't adopt a dog if you can't provide the perfect conditions, it's just to make you think about the dog before making such a big decision.
Couples often have a hard time agreeing on adopting a pet which is exactly what happened in this story shared on Reddit by user u/Richard0876. OP's wife wanted to get a dog but he believed that she wouldn't be able to handle the responsibility and he made it clear that he wanted nothing to do with the dog since he was not the one who wanted it.
His wife ended up buying a dog and after some time it became clear to the husband that his wife can't handle it and that the dog was just making a huge mess and being an expense to the family. His wife locked herself in her office after he told her that and now the husband is looking for opinions on the matter on Reddit.
OP started out the story by explaining that his wife isn't exactly the most responsible person in the world.
His wife paid 500$ for the puppy and the husband just saw it as another one of her impulsive purchases.
The husband didn't want to take any responsibility of the dog and told her that he would kick him out if necessary.
The dog made the messy situation in the house even worse and the husband decided to confront his wife and explain that it was a bad idea.
A lot of people in the comments suggested that his wife should see a medical professional.
They were just soaking...
The husband did put all the blame on his wife for the mess
Redditors suggested that the wife might have ADHD or PPD
We hope that child is being properly taken care of
Redditors had lots of different views on this matter
This is one of the few times where we see that the comments are all supporting different people and this case in general is an odd one. This story surely left us with a lot of questions and not a lot of answers.
The people of Reddit have torn apart on this one, but how do you feel about this situation?
