She Got Into A Fight With Her Boyfriend Since He Expects Her To Care For His Dog, Even Though She’s Not A Dog Person
This 25-year-old girl has a 24-year-old boyfriend who works extremely long shifts three or four days each week.
Five months ago, her boyfriend acquired a dog, and his pet is not potty trained. Since her work schedule isn’t as hectic as her boyfriend’s, when he’s on a long shift, she cares for his dog.
She keeps his dog on a routine, which works pretty well. As soon as she wakes up and right before she goes to sleep, she takes the dog outside.
Also, her boyfriend’s dog knows how to catch her attention when she needs to be let out and will remind her if she forgets to stick to their routine.
But when her boyfriend’s around, he doesn’t adhere to this set schedule, and it’s on her to remind him to let her out.
Her boyfriend doesn’t pay attention, even if she says he really should allow his dog to be outside, and then his dog will have accidents on their carpets.
It’s gotten so bad that she’s had to put shampoo on the rugs in order to get the messes out.
Last night, she got into a fight with her boyfriend, as she’s sick and tired of being the one tasked with caring for his pet.
“…I never ask him to take care of my cats, and I [spend] the entire day doing chores already,” she explained.

“It was right before he had to go to bed, and I reminded him. He basically said that he’ll take her out in the morning (even [though] it had been hours) and that he was too tired.”
“Usually, I cuddle him to sleep and then go do my own thing because I don’t work early mornings, but tonight I said that he forfeited the cuddle time because I had to take the dog out (she can take upwards of 20+ minutes to [do her business]).”
But yesterday evening, her boyfriend’s dog instantly went as soon as she got outside, so she could tell she really had to go and was close to having another accident in their house.
Her boyfriend is currently furious with her for failing to stick to his bedtime routine, which caused him to have a poor night’s sleep.
“Am I being unreasonable?” she wondered. “I’m not a dog person, and I feel that he should take care of his dog when he’s home, but he doesn’t work long hours. How do I get him to understand?”
