Man Says He Won't Give Up Dog Who Sleeps in Bed with Him for New Girlfriend: 'She Thinks My Dog Is Jealous'

"I think she's being dramatic and I absolutely will get rid of her before him," the man writes on Reddit

A man says he won't give up his habit of letting his dog sleep in the bed just to appease his now live-in girlfriend.

In a post shared to Reddit, the anonymous man writes that his girlfriend moved in "recently" and that his dog has been "beside me for 7 years since he was 12 weeks old."

So far, the girlfriend and the dog aren't getting along as roommates.

"She pushed my dog at his chest with two hands the other night and gets a little angry about him sleeping in the bed," the man writes. "At first it was about the hair so I washed a ton of sheets, blankets, pillow cases to have backups and to have a sheet always over the bedding we use."

He continues: "I don't like her being aggressive to my dog and find it a turn off. She thinks my dog is jealous and doesn't like her. I think she's being dramatic and I absolutely will get rid of her before him."

The dog, he adds, has "been my healing in life and taught me a lot about anger and not being depressed ... He's like my son, brother, and best friend."

Now the man is turning to the Internet for advice, asking fellow Reddit users: "Should I give her an ultimatum or just move on to someone who respects my boundary? And am I crazy for putting my dog that's has slept beside me for 7 years over a new relationship?"

Commenters have weighed in, suggesting that perhaps the couple isn't compatible in the first place.

"If one partner wants a pet and the other doesn't, it can cause some serious resentment and fracturing in the relationship down the line," wrote one commenter.

Still, others have suggested perhaps a compromise is in order.

"I wouldn’t want to date someone who made it clear I was second to their dog," wrote another. "It’s implied early in the relationship and I wouldn’t presume to be 'first' right away. However, it would be a red flag to me if it was constant over the course of months or years."
