Woman Asks If She Is In The Wrong For Not Giving Up Her Sick Dog, Family Drama Ensues

Pets are a part of the family.

I know some people may say that this is an exaggeration but for many, this is the truth of life. No matter how you put it, animals can become a part of the family. Now I am not going to talk semantics about the importance of kids or pets because that is not my place to say. But I will say is that everyone has their own opinion about this. And also the fact is that animals can help people through difficult times so we tend to form an attachment to them pretty easily.

That is why it is nigh on impossible to give up your pet even if your relationship may be on the line. Many people even go as far as to break up with their significant other over their pet. As I said before, everyone has different priorities in their life and there is nothing wrong with that. So when this woman asked the Internet whether she was wrong for not giving up her dog even though her partner’s son is afraid of dogs, people had a lot to say.

The title makes her sound wrong from the start but the story goes more in-depth.

The root of the problem is that they want to move in together and join their families.

Now, this is a great idea but the kid really isn’t fond of dogs which is understandable.

However, she is not willing to part with her dog which is not surprising.

She also goes on to explain how it is just fear and not an allergy.

The dog apparently has some medical issues which is the reason she can’t part with her dog. Even if we put aside the attachment she has with the dog, she is well aware that nobody would adopt the dog. And the doggo might not be able to survive for long otherwise. So I can completely understand her hesitance. The only way I see out of this problem is to get the kid therapy so he is no longer afraid and starts to accept the doggo.

People in the comments were generally on her side as well.

Some people tried to give her advice as to how to handle this situation.

They are both right in their own way.

It is clearly a more complicated issue than it seems at first sight.

Some even suggested that the kid should go to therapy.

I mean if they’re going to join the families then they need to look for a long-term solution.

It won’t be easy either way but they don’t have a choice.


It is better for the kid to get over this fear as well.


Or they could wait for a little bit but that is up to them.


The kid is clearly struggling with this but what else can they do?

I can only hope that they try to work this out.

Rather than jeopardizing the relationship as a whole.

It seems like their relationship has been going well.

And this is just a blip on the long road together.

Everyone was on her side in the comments.

And many assured her that it wasn’t really a choice.

At the end of the day, their priorities are just different.

What are your thoughts on this scenario? Would you give up your pet if your partner’s kids had a phobia? Or are you too attached to your pet to do that? How would you resolve this situation if you were in her shoes? Let us know in the comments below and don’t forget to share this article with your friends so they can join in the discussion as well.
