I've started a new romantic relationship and recently she's met my dog for the first time beyond passing on a date to cook together. Obviously, my dog is well trained, well behaved, and my home is kept spotless in spite of the 4 legged beast, because I feel anything less is tantamount to neglect.
The girlfriend had a normal reaction to a lovable canine at first, but when my dog showed common signs of happiness and love with tail wagging, eagerness to please, and gentle headbutting/nuzzling she got weirded out. While this is a little bit more happiness in response to a stranger than normal- almost certainly from the dog picking up on my own positive feelings towards this woman- it wasn't anything more than the way my dog reacts to my immediate family. My hound is quite tempered in her behavior compared to the energy you can find in many other breeds.
The girlfriend comes from a home with a family dog, a miniature poodle, but from her description the dog was never really "happy" or even showed signs that it even liked anyone in the family (Maybe just the grandmother.) I find it unfathomable that you could live a decade+ with a dog and never see it happy to be with you. In regards to the friendly and loving disposition of my hound towards both me and her, she brought expressive visual and verbal worry in the same way I might have if I found out a date still lived with her ex-husband.
I'm mature enough to realize that no relationship comes as a "perfect package" but I get a nagging sense that contrary to my impressions of my girlfriend so far, she'd rather me get rid of my dog; or at least, restrict my dog to a kennel/run and have a more removed relationship with the hound.
Should I just see if she'll compromise on this, or is this a major red flag of there being problems down the line?
Bitches before witches
>I've started a new romantic relationship
Get off Wauf, unvirgin!
[spoiler]Teach me your secrets, senpai[/I know they don't work]
The only way that you see a person is in the acts that obliviously give them away.
Bad impressions over small things are always correct, IME.
>she does bot like your daughter
Not worth it.
You can try to talk to her about it or give it time, but, it is definitely something that should not be overlooked
Why be so overly dramatic. It's possible she is just not used to dogs.
If op can stand up for himself this shouldn't be an issue. Just don't let the dog in the bed.
Women are narcissists and hate passiveness especially early in relationships, they view it as weakness. Poodles are notoriously mean spirited animals which gives a hint to how she was raised and her lineage.
Without knowing you and your dog i dont know if its a red flag
I love dogs but some people's dogs are really fricking annoying and gross
Nothing worse than some dirty smelly greasy hyperactive untrained mutt slobbering and breathing
putrid rotten mouth breath and dingleberries all over the place
yeah its a red flag that you are considering getting rid of your dog for some vageen. she is entering your sphere where you and your dog already existed. she has to conform to your life not the other way around. do you want to be happy or do you want to constantly walk on eggshells worrying about what "weirds out" your autistic gf.
what im saying is you two need to come to an understanding about this and i don't mean get rid of it.
If she doesn’t want to have a dog it will eventually become a problem, because having a dog changes your lifestyle pretty dramatically compared to something like a fish aquarium. It doesn’t mean she’s a bad person like the social morons ITT fantasize or that you’re somehow wrong for valuing your dog and being dedicated to it, but you won’t be compatible and eventually it will all go south. It’s like if two people disagree on wanting children and one agrees to make the other happy, but the resentment festers.
Shes not a bad person but she doesnt belong in OPs life. Submitting to a woman and giving up your friend = future divorce material sorry. Enjoy paying alimony to a woman who lived in a 1 million dollar house because the authors of divorce law were either feminists or had religious objections to divorce. Never, EVER SUBMIT TO A WOMAN. Women submit to men or marriage is nonfunctional.
>Women submit to men or marriage is nonfunctional
but I can only get off to femdom
Maybe she's just autistic and doesn't know how to handle the disposition of a dog different than what she grew up with? Just directly ask her if your dog's behavior bothers her or if she's not used to it and needs warming up.
I couldn't trust someone who didn't show some reflective thought as to why am animal in their care was "never happy".
My S.O isn't an animal person and never grew up with them but still treats our dog with love and care like a normal human being.
It’s your dog, do wtf you want with it
Remember that even the best relationships don't always last. You don't even know if you'll be with that girl in a few years. Your dog, however, is with you to the end, and was with you first. Never compromise for a new woman. You don't want to be 2 years down the road, having broken up, kicking yourself for getting rid of the dog, or not living the way you want with the dog, or any other irreversible decisions.
>Last words of my first ltr
>No dogs in the bed when we move in together
b***h we’ve broken up before. The dog has slept in my bed every night since he was 8 weeks old. Bye.
>preferring to sleep with a filthy dog rather than a woman
You're gay
>letting a woman control your life
Give them an inch and they leave and take half your income. There is literally nothing wrong with getting a different girl.
Puppies before yuppies
Yuppies aren't slang for women, you esl street shitter
Your gf sounds based. Dogs are disgusting and I wouldnt want one touching me either.
I don't trust people who don't like dogs.
What's wrong with disliking dogs? I don't like dogs. Other people's dogs, anyway.
Only degenerate westerners have pet worship culture, some people just treat animals like animals not mistreating them but also not treating them like baby surrogates
CCP propaganda here
>liking animals is LE NEW AND BAD
No chang, you’re just a psychopath. Frick off.
is china seriously trying to tell us that treating animals well is degeneracy so we’ll side with them?
or is it just low iq third worlders who dont understand why civilized, intelligent people dont chain their dogs up all day and say “im jus treatin them like an animal mayne”
China is the low IQ third world, at least when it comes to animals
When it comes to everything actually
They faked their average iq by only testing their best. They tell people where to live and where to work to create the illusion of a successful country. Whenever the migration controls weaken, all the poor morons show up in cities as the homeless instead of “wholesome village folk who just so happen to boil dogs alive” (west btfo! this why china win!)
All of their achievements depend on industrial and academic espionage
There is actually a wide gulf between "chink-tier sociopathy" and "muh heckin wholesum furbabies wants a hemkin chimken nuggie!!!"
Pretending your pet is your child is utterly pathetic behavior. It is a pet. Not a child. Not a human being.
They still deserve better than how uncivilized people (non westerners who arent japanese) treat them. Dog hitters. Cat kickers. Worthless turd people.
You do know in Germany they still have problems with eating dog meat right? They have made sausages out of them for centuries. The western v everyone else angle does not always work. Even your Japanese exception does not work as they still do organised and profitable Tosa Inu dog fighting, a dog fighting breed protected and endorsed by the state of Japan itself.
Google “axis of evil” and tell me which countries it encompasses
Also google “switzerland nazi germany relations”
I know what it is, but I don't entirely know its relevance to Wauf aside from the fact I think it is not big enough of an axis in its selection of nation states. Switzerland is not a surprising fact either, I don't trust the continental Germanic by default.
This chick unironically sounds like she will beat your dog when you aren't home, abort.
Do you have a bloodhound?
Theyre stinky and hairy and drooly, not everyone wants that touching them
No
cute dog, give it ear scratches from me anon
if she acts weird around a friendly dog i dont think that bodes well for her regarding children
bad vibes mang
Dammit, this post put it succinctly enough for me.
This sucks.
Thanks for the inputs
OP here,
I'm actually anti-natalist but I guess I understand the point your trying to make
You're not OP I'm OP please don't do that.
just oblige and put the dumb animal in a kennel and take your dog out for a nice steak dinner
With how this thread is going I am anticapting a pink or straight up gay pill at this rate.
This is Wauf so I'm betting on the zoo pill
only because of certain proxy using homosexuals (who are also sadists)
zoo board, cry about it
not a sadist board thoughever (unlike you)
Just ask her upfront if this is going to be an issue or not. Yes? Adios. No? Cool. I assume you feel more strongly for your dog than this woman you’ve comparatively known for a very short time.
That's assuming the woman would answer honestly.
This. Quite shrimple really
If you want an update, I did exactly that. I realize that I made mistakes while doing this**, but perhaps the result wasn't the worst.
I asked her.
>She said there wasn't a problem.
I said "I'm glad to hear that. You seemed uncomfortable."
>She said she's "I like your dog I'm just not used to a dog being that important."
I asked her what she meant by that, and was very patient about it. Past the stuff about the dog watching us from the living room the entire time while we were in the kitchen, she explained (in more words) that she was
>"not used to a dog being that integrated into someone's day to day life." (Walks, commands, training and reinforcement, etc.)
When that communication was successful, I explained my views that the relationship between man and beast means that me and my dog are unequal but that doesn't mean I get to neglect the dog, I have responsibility, it's necessary for me to give my dog rules and tasks, my dog's loyalty in return, etc.
>She said "Are you asking me if I don't think your dog is important?"
I said no I wasn't.
>"Well that's what it sounds like you're asking"
That doesn't make any sense.
>"Well you're saying you would you choose your dog before me?"
"It's not a hierarchy, but if I have to choose, yes."**
You can imagine the downward turn and the rest from there.
She was saying she was planning on forcing you to get rid of the dog the day she got pregnant.
Correct
Mad women
Oh ok, your a mental case, thats what the real problem is.
>the relationship between man and beast
If you actually use terms like that in real life it's no wonder your girlfriend left you
lol. a woman tried to make a man choose between her or his dog and pikachu faced when she lost
I mean if she was asking you to choose her (who I am assuming you just met/just started dating), over your companion animal that you are living with and whom you've basically chosen to take care of the rest of its life, that's pretty sus in my opinion coming from another women. I would say you made the right call.
There's some argument to be made about an animals life not coming before a humans, but no one's lives are on the line here. Dating is just compatibility matching, and if she can't understand that someone's pet is more important to tem than someone they just started dating, especially a closely bonded animal such as a dog, then I would say she needs to be looking for a different type of relationship with someone else who feels similarly in regards to pets because most people are jot going to abandon their dog for someone they just met. And I think that's fair, to be completely honest. If I started dating someone and they wanted to drop their dog or cat because the animal bothered me a little, I probably wouldn't keep dating that person. It would be different if the relationship was serious and progressed and they were putting an animal before their partner, but that's clearly not the case here.
I think you made the right move OP. Boundaries and respect are important, both ways. But having similar wants and needs out of a relationship or be willing to make it work is also important.
she has BPD. avoid.
I could tell even from your OP that you are a true autistic warrior. Respect. o7
maybe it's unfortunate that she doesn't like dogs but that's okay because nothing is ever perfect?
there are 4 billion women on earth and the wrong one can unjustly take everything from you and ruin your life until you are an old man in physical and cognitive decline, especially in places like the US. being picky is a good thing.
Keep dating but if she tries to override how you treat or look after your dog tell her to frick off. Boundaries in a relationship are a thing after all. If she obliges, cool. Crisis resolved. If she doesn't, dump her ass.
Its as shrimple as that.
>Trusting women
Breakup = dead dog
Or it might "get lost" one day after an argument where she insisted its the dog or her and "our future children" (preggo or not)
Also enjoy your alimony/child support bill
Never trust a woman who doesn't like your pets.
Wtf are the women in your area kek
Women are not that cartoonishly evil, I know my mother hated dogs but my father put her in her place and put up with it and there were no disappearances or mysterious deaths after their divorce. You must have some really dysfunctional expereinces.
>Wtf are the women in your area kek
The ones born after 1990. Doesn't even matter if they're devout christians, they can actually use that as additional justification to be evil.
moron
>Women are not that cartoonishly evil
yeah evil cartoon women are at least hot
>You must have some really dysfunctional expereinces
he has no experiences involving women, everything he thinks he knows comes from Wauf
kek
one of my dad's friends got divorce and the b***h only lets him see HIS dog during the weekend (he had this dog before meeting his wife)
That's nothing compared to how they take away father's rights to see their own children
And this is why you're not getting laid. It sounds like you've either got shit taste in women or base your entire viewpoint off of your divorced dad's drunken ranting.
reddit blue pill delusions instead of your own dad's real world experience
Or is he getting laid with women that like his dog? Most people on Wauf have likable breeds like aussies, german shepherds, and huskies. The only incels we know of are a disabled trucker who rapes street mutts and fence hops to molest livestock and some weird midget who uses his pitbull to feel masculine by letting it maul less aggressive dogs with female owners (around other men and other pitbulls/large mastiffs he keeps it leashed).
If she's really that kind of person, dump that b***h ASAP.
Any woman who wants to change your life at all is garbage. And just imagine what garbage she'd put in the brains of your sons if she has a problem with actually liking your pets. Or how she'd treat your sons. There are over 4 billion of them. Don't hesitate to get a new one especially since the west is plagued with a hard choice between feminist lands and fundie lands.
Part of the reason we have pets is because people let their mask fall off around "just an animal" and you see what they really are. That's a rough estimate of how they'd be with children.
This except "fundie lands" are just filled with fat single moms
>Any woman who wants to change your life at all is garbage
have a nice day
Seething roasties lmao
Any woman who wants to change your life is garbage. Any woman who doesnt like dogs is garbage. You will never be loved, only settled for. You are the incels of the female gender. You dont even get to be pseuds or monks and claim its voluntary celibacy, instead you get the dishonor of some desperate narcissist settling to use you as a Fleshlight as long as he sells his car for a van.
Lots of people don't like pets and they belong together. Volcel is just a cope for thirdies
>lots of people dont like pets
People who dont like pets dont get pets or date people with them. If someone gets pets but doesn't like them, they're mentally ill and the last thing anyone needs is them reproducing. If someone doesn't like pets and dates someone with one, they're bad news and will do some evil irrational woman shit or just break up with you so you're wasting your time.
>I'm anti-natalist
The one, single, only, sole function of having a woman in your life is to have children. Everything else is just a lengthy cope for sticking together to raise the children properly.
>The one, single, only, sole function of having a woman in your life is to have children
So I guess you've never heard of
>sex
>cuddling
>not dying alone
>companionship
>someone to keep you from crushing loneliness
He is right in the sense that a woman's pure biological function is to reproduce. All that other stuff you mentioned is superficial.
All things a dog is much better at
Anon…
Well prove me wrong then
>sex
You should be killed, slowly and excruciatingly, if you have sex with animals.
>cuddling
Dogs are filthy, smell like shit, and shed everywhere.
>dying alone
Your dog would eat your corpse.
>companionship
You can't have a conversation with a dog (unless you are schizophrenic) nor can you do anything with it other than having it sit near you, walking it around, or playing inane games with it like fetch.
>someone to keep you from loneliness
See above.
Dogs are clean and smell good
You are a redditor and a zoophile. I can just tell. You’re not fooling anyone.
>Dogs are clean
lol. No. Dogs literally eat shit. Oftentimes they roll in it, too.
>and smell good
What the frick is wrong with you?
>You are a redditor
Says the reddit spacer.
>and a zoophile
Says the guy who thinks dogs "smell good."
Maybe your untrained pitbull
I have never known a dog to eat or roll in shit. Dogs are clean and smell good. You are a zoophile trying to cope with your rape fetish with hysterical over the top dog hate. Basically homophobes frick dudes: electric boogaloo.
>I have never known a dog to eat or roll in shit
You must not take your dog outside very much then. About 50% of all dogs I've ever known have eaten shit, either their own or another dog's.
>Dogs are clean
No, they aren't. Even if they aren't rolling in literal shit, they still aren't clean.
>and smell good
How the frick does a dog "smell good," you weird frick?
Dogs are clean and smell good
Dog hate is a redditor fantasy. This is a dog website. Go back.
Dogs aren't “clean” they're as clean as a toddler. As far as smell, I think that depends on a lot of factors but they don't have a particularly “pleasant” smell. It's a natural musk.
Dogs are clean and smell pleasant.
>Dogs are clean and smell good
Repeatedly posting this doesn't make it true, dogfricker.
>Dog hate is a redditor fantasy
But it's not a fantasy, because I actually hate dogs.
>This is a dog website
How fricking new are you?
>brings up bestiality
>hates dogs
>doesnt know this is a dog website
redditor confirmed
go back
You were the one bringing up bestiality, dogfricker. Given your insistence that dogs "smell pleasant" I'm forced to assume you are projecting your lust for animals onto other people.
Wauf is and has always been a cat website. Dogs are hemkin holsum chimken numggies reddit animals. I bet you use terms like "pupper" and "doggo" and "hooman" you fricking the_donald transplant motherfricker
>catredditor is a reddit expert
>such an unrepentant zoophile it cant comprehend enjoying canine aromas without wanting to rape them
God catredditors are disgusting
Sorry your single mothers neglected pitbull ate your poop but that was really your familys fault for letting you take a dump in the gamer chair
>enjoying canine aromas
I have never, ever, ever in my entire fricking life heard anyone say shit like this. You are definitely a dogfricker.
Did I hurt your feelings by calling you pathetic?
Your dog is a disgusting creature and the world would be better off if it was dead along with you.
>obsessed with bestiality
>so pathetic their power fantasies involve other people doing the hurting
typical redditor. loves cats, hates dogs, sexual deviant, beta male. why are you even on Wauf? did you come for /mlp/ or Wauf?
They came here for /misc/. Just wait for the peta-esque reddit takes like hating pets in general and then before you know it these redditors go full vegan.
They might get to that after reddits favorite pet disinfo, “cats are free and dogs are slaves” (yeah my dog walks me and my cat is indoor only)
>accuses me of being obsessed with bestiality when he is the one who brought it up in the first place
"Dogbros" really are equivalent to their pets in intelligence.
My "power fantasy" involves cops shooting your dog because cops shoot dogs all the time, and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. If I shot your dog you could sue me or I could go to jail. A cop shoots it, you just have to deal with it.
>why are you even on Wauf?
Because I like it here and I can call doglovers homosexuals without getting banned for using a slur.
>
They might get to that after reddits favorite pet disinfo, “cats are free and dogs are slaves” (yeah my dog walks me and my cat is indoor only)
>They came here for /misc/.
Utterly and completely wrong. I don't use /misc/, nor do I like the presence of its users (mostly reddit migrants who came here before, during, or after the 2016 and 2020 US elections) on this site.
>Just wait for the peta-esque reddit takes like hating pets in general and then before you know it these redditors go full vegan.
I hate vegans, though.
>my dog walks me
This is not something to be proud of. You are allowing yourself to be bossed around by an animal. Just when I thought you couldn't get any more pathetic, you proved me wrong.
Bassets hounds are sub canine
Tldr nice manifesto eugene
Brevity is the soul of wit (you dont got none)
who the hell is eugene
(You), gene.
Obsessed
>redditors say pupperwhatever!
>says pupperino
Lulz why is it always the dog haters using these mysterious redditor words? Ah yea, hating dogs is reddit.
oh god its another one of those redditards who think cat memes = cat website
caturday openly mocked cats. it was us dogbros having a laugh at how moronic cats act. if we tried it again with you fedora tipping newbies around you’d cry about “dog frickers insulting our feline masters” like you do when people point out the simple and proven facts that cats dont belong outdoors and dont control pests. you even get mad and start crying about larps when someone mentions their cat is moronic because you redditors miss a huge thing about Wauf
we made fun of cats
you idiots worship them
we are dog bros with cats and you are weird liberal cat ladies who hate dogs
>dogbros
Imagine building your identity around owning a slobbering, shedding, filthy animal. Utterly pathetic. I hope a cop shoots your precious heckin pupperino in the chest.
>crazy cat lady from reddit is so impotent they have to fantasize about other people carrying out violence for them
Pathetic post tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh
Holy based

you say that as if you're a functional person lmao
