I mean.. it'd depend on the situation! If it comes to one person keeping an HA dog and the other threatening to leave over it, I see nothing wrong with that. If it's one person doesn't like the breed of choice of the other.. That's stupid but I also wouldn't date someone that didn't like bully breeds. There's a lot of ways this thing can go so it really depends on the specific situation. |

It would depend on the situation.
If it was an HA dog or a dog that was otherwise unstable and causing a lot of problems in the home, I would have to evaluate my relationship with the dog. If I was inclined to be taking in fosters and rescues when my husband didn't want to have them here, well, it's my husband's house too and if he doesn't want a house full of dogs then I need to respect that. When I first met my husband I had a rottie/shepherd cross who I'd had for years already. He didn't like the dog and assumed I would get rid of the dog for his sake. Nope, told him to leave his key and have a good life. He adjusted to the dog. There was nothing wrong with the dog, by the way, he just decided he didn't feel like moving into a home with a dog -- good then, don't move in. |

I'm glad ill never have to choose. One of the many things my husband and I have in common is our love of dogs. He also knows I research and learn and he listens to what I have to say about what I've learned. Our issue would be if we got a divorce who would get the dog. We would both want him lol.

My husband has a dog that I cannot get around. But he can. In respect, I do not go with in chain length of the dog. I do not want to get bit by the dog because I know my husband would do something bad to him. As long as my husband can get around him and feed him, it isn't a reason't to put the dog down. I do give the dog treats day to day hoping to bribe him one day. I don't do this without my husband out there.
Since my husband has owned this dog prior to us getting together and I don't have any real need to get around it other then I want to play with him one day, It isn't something to leave my husband over. 0o; does that even makes sense? I feel so scattered brained today. |

Otherwise...I would say...I wouldn't divorce over a dog...but I also wouldn't sacrifice a dog I personally felt was workable and that I wanted to keep in order to keep a relationship either...feel free to let yourself out...because once you start compromising your values, principles and beliefs...it's a slippery slope...IMO |

I have dogs and I'm single partly because of the dogs and partly b/c I'm not easy to get along with. I'm not very compromising so I guess basically the answer is yes. I would choose my dogs over a man. Heck I would even choose them over most of my family. They treat me better and I get more enjoyment out of them. They make me happy, my human family makes me miserable.
Oh and I don't have children, don't want children, can't really stand children. So I have dogs and I would have horses, but can't afford them, but maybe one day. I would consider getting married if I found someone who liked my dogs, but so far, no one does. |

for me it depends on the situation if my partner said " i dont like your dog get rid of him,keep him outside,ect" i would say "screw you" if the dog had serious problems like HA that i could not control and it was taking over my and his lives i would consider having the dog put to sleep or re-homed.
ive already told my bf that my cats will ALWAYS be MY cats no matter what if he cant accept my cats for one reason or another then thats it im done with him |

I have dogs. What do I need a spouse for ?? One night stands work for me and I call 'em when I see 'em. But don't mess with my dogs. They are my family. When I met my husband and we were dating, he was very anit-dog. When we were moving in together he wanted me to get rid of my Toy Poodle x Bichon, Patches. I told him that Patches had been there before him and would be there when he was gone. If it came down to a choice between them, I'd miss him, but no way would I get rid of my dog. I wasn't playing around, either. I would have walked away over my Lil Old Man Dog. Thankfully, my husband made an effort and started walking the old guy when I was at work. 12 years later, he is wonderful with dogs and loves them as much as I do. He learned to love something I love...dogs. I learned to love something he loves...computer gaming. That's how it's supposed to work. If a couple isn't willing and able to work with each others passions then they shouldn't have gotten together. ---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ---------- And, yes, the exception to this is a dog that is HA. But that wouldn't be a problem for us because I wouldn't keep a HA dog alive, anyway, so we wouldn't fight over it. ---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ---------- I'm glad ill never have to choose.
