NTA in any way. My bf had a dog before we met, I had 2 cats. While I’m not the biggest fan of the dog because she isn’t well trained, has trauma making her reactive, and is overall a bit of a burden, I have never asked him to get rid of her. I respect that she was here before me, and she is my bf’s favorite thing in the world aside from me and our daughter, so we have found ways around the frustrating parts of having a dog. She has her own room, and he’s the primary caretaker of her. As long as you aren’t pushing all the dog duties on your gf, and the dog isn’t a danger to either of you, she’s not justified in bringing up rehoming the dog in any way.

Keep the dog, rehome the girlfriend. On a serious note she should’ve known you two were a package deal and her seriously suggesting you rehome your dog is ridiculous and could be a preview for how life with her will go.

Take a good look at your relationship with her and decide for yourself what’s best for you. Personally it sounds like she has to go, and I’m not even a pet person. However, that’s something you’ll need to determine for yourself what’s best

I always wonder if people who give these types of ultimatums understand that if you do end up being pressured into choosing them, it would create such a deep resentment that no relationship would ever recover from.

NTA. I have a cat and she is my world. She depends on me. I chose her and she chose me. I would never subject her to a new home this far into the game.

You have been with your girlfriend month or years before she moved in with you. She knew the Max. She visited your flat. Did she not? She knew all the mess he makes already beforehand.

She cannot move in and then demand changes. Those must be discussed before moving in together. She clearly is not able to live in a serious relationship. Leave her. nta

NTA – when you adopt/buy a dog you are taking on a lifelong commitment. His life. It’s cruel and unreasonable to remove him from a safe loving home where his needs are met and he is comfortable just because she thinks he’s too big or whatever asinine reason. She doesn’t like it she can move.

I lived for 10 years with my husbands horrible cat Lilly. She would spite pee on my stuff and it took 7 years of living with me for her to decide i could pet her…and that cat passed of cancer at 16. If i can put up with Lilly, she can put up with Max. Toss the woman. Keep the dog.

Women (and men) will come and go like the passing seasons, but a dog; particularly a good dog, will stay with you forever. Physically they are here for a brief glimmer of time, but they will be in your heart forever. I miss my dog…

Get rid of the girlfriend. Animals love you unconditionally, even when you bring a new girl into the house. This human being can’t even do that.

I would never. I’m instantly gone if my pets don’t like you or you like them

She knew Max was part of the deal before she moved in. She was thinking “Oh, I can make him change once I’ve integrated myself in his home.”

You are NTA – and good for you for making that very clear.

Max is your family. She is not.

Can’t believe the solid brass ones on her.

Anyone who would have the affront be to suggest to me that I get rid of one of my pets can get fucked.

NTA: An animal is just as much of a commitment as a romantic relationship. You should rehome her – she’s being selfish and unreasonable.

Max is your responsibility for all his life. If she can’t understand the bond between dogs and humans, she is not a keeper.

She’s TA. She moved into a place with a dog, it’s part of the package. If she can’t cope then she needs to rehome herself

My fiance has a beautiful cat and dog, I love his cat and dog as much as I love him, because they’re companions, alll

So she is not a dog person and thought she could get you to get rid of your dog for her. Rehome her

It’s basically like asking you to unadopt a child because she “doesn’t like” him

Get rid of the GF, but you should ask for a rehoming fee to cover some expenses.

Heartless self centered bitch or loyal companion?
Get rid of the bitch. NTA

Your girlfriend sounds a lot like your ex. She itah

She’ll be around shorter than he will guaranteed

NTA but your girlfriend should re-home herself.

Someone needs rehoming and their name isn’t Max

BYE BYE GF! Swipe right, but MUST LOVE DOGS!

Dog over whiny girl…

every. single. time.

NTA, you are dodging a bullet down the road

Would she die for you? Because Max would.

There are plenty of women out there
