You ever have a pet come between you and someone else?

This is something I almost exclusively see with white couples but I have seen it with someone who I work with who is a mixed man. He and his partner both love animals and decided to adopt a dog together shortly after moving in together. Well, his partner has grown pretty attached to the dog so much so he almost prioritizes the dog's happiness over his. He was telling me about it at work yesterday. Whenever they go to bed now, the dog sleeps with them and he has to fight the dog to get a good spot in the bed and if he says anything about it, his partner gets mad.

Have you ever had anything like this happen in any of your relationships or know someone who it had happened to?

I adopted 2 dogs with a guy once. We established which dog belonged to each of us from the start.

Anyway, when the relationship was coming to an end he said that I treated the dogs better than him. I said something a long the lines "the dogs do what they are supposed to do and you don't." He ended up breaking the legs of both dogs, I made him leave and I kept both dogs. One had to have surgery and the other had to have his leg in the cast. I still have them both. They are both wonder dogs. I hope a semi truck runs him into the Potomac.

Lol

What a piece of work. Man some dudes can't let their ego be bruised even the slightest. He was such a big man he had to target defenseless dogs when he was upset. Glad they are okay and stayed with you.

There are some people in my area who probably would have hunted him down and broke his legs over that. No joke. Lots of animal lovers around here. Where there is stupid, crazy is right around the corner. Gotta be careful what you do in this world and to who.

Animals are like children, they need love & care. I'm glad he did no physical harm to you, but harming the dogs that I care for would've got him a broke off a big piece of my Kit Kat bar, "nuff said". 💯
That part had me in awe. How TF you break the dog’s legs, that’s psychopathic. If she stayed with him he’d be putting hands on her next.
