The dog was there before you were. Break up with her so she can find someone who isn't such a *****.

Is this what dog ownership is like? if so I don't think I can handle it. I am used to growing up with outside dogs that can fend for themselves as long as you feed it once a day.

No. Dogs aren't humans and shouldn't be treated like a child.

Have you actually told her these feelings?

So how does the sechs work with the dog in the bed? That's kinda weird.

The worst part is when that damned dog sneaks that cold nose in ahead of clean up time.

Leave, her priorities are all wrong and she won't even bother to put her responsibility for her dog (which is important, to be sure) on the same scale as her responsibility to other parts of her life. Or, you just aren't that important.

Most of the single GB girls have dogs........

Been there before OP. End it if it's becoming too much of an issue. I dated a chick in college that I indeed loved but eventually her dog became too much of an issue and it too was a little *****

I don't mind dogs or cats and in fact I like 95% of them but the fact is some people just shouldn't own dogs.
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

Hell, I'd say at least 80% of single milennial women have dogs period. I have my theories as to why this is so but that's for another thread

The dog's not the problem. Its her or the relationship. If you can't talk through the issues with her, either she's not the right person for you or you're not ready for an adult relationship.

That's not intended as an insult. I wasn't ready for an adult relationship right out of college, either (though at the time I thought I was). I'm glad I didn't marry someone I dated then or I would be miserable right now.

Wish more people felt this way. I don't even give a sh/t about humans, why would I care about something that walks on four legs. I'm not advocating animal abuse, just hate it when people seem to care more about animals than their fellow man.

I think you should break up with her. She's likely far too good for you. Your selfish...i assume young...so you should free her up to another more decent guy. Take care!

My two girls take issue with the "not a human/child" crap - I care alot more about them then I do about most people I know and I am with Pat, If an emergency arises, Fen and Daze come right after agmom!

Small dogs have to go out about 4 times a day so you are stuck on that one until you have a yard and a dog door and she will likely never give up on letting the dog on the bed.

That being said, there is no excuse for not working on the separation anxiety and tearing up socks. If she is unwilling to do that I would bolt because it will get worse before it gets better.
Sounds like the separation anxiety is as much (or more) the girl rather than the dog.

...not that I would suggest the OP get a cat... he seems far too selfish to be in charge of an animal.

Look, the reality is that you clearly aren't concerned about her, the dog, or the relationship. You're complaining as if you're surprised that a significant other would want something in her life to love her (hence adopting a dog because you don't). I don't say that to insult you, only to point out that you really should break up with her.

If you actually DO like the girl, then take it upon yourself to learn how to train the dog. Chicks LOVE a man that can train an animal. Probably get daily BJs just by teaching the dog to sit and stay.

True. Actually, you can train her because dog training is more about training the owner than the dog.

Well...except the part where she had the dog before I met her.

Yes, the dog really isn't that bad, its more the way she treats it and thinks it can't be left alone for more than a few hours.

TBH my point remains.

Yep, like I said, the separation anxiety is her, not the dog. And that IS a big problem in a relationship.

And the fact that you can't replace the dog in that equation is the biggest red flag.

Seems simple to me, because it worked for our dog:

1. Train the dog to not pee/poop in the house.
2. After #1, you'll be much more likely to be able to find a friend/neighbor to stop by to care for the dog (while the dog remains at home). Walk in the morning, Feed & Walk in the evening.

The problem likely won't get any better as the girl will not change her own behavior. Fortunately, humans live longer than dogs so the problem won't exist forever.
