I want the Rat Pack original!

They just smeared scrapple leftovers.

I mean, I’m sympathetic to the fact that he was traumatized, but why did he ever pursue a relationship with someone who has dogs if he can’t stand to be around them? Its very odd to say “this is my dealbreaker, I can’t live with this” and then decide to marry the person.

yeah. it’s on him to either seek therapy... or step the fuck off.

if she gives up those dogs for him, it’ll be a fucking nightmare of a marriage. resentment to 11 from day fucking one.

you knew she had dogs, you knew you have issue with dogs. it’s your responsibility to make the choice. seek help. or do the right…

Clearly, the wrong person wrote the letter. If you’re out there two-dog-addict, please dump this asshole.

Heh, I know plenty of men this self-absorbed. The majority of men have no idea, not the tiniest inkling, of how much space and air they demand in a relationship, and that’s not even going near a classic abuse move like this one is.

It’s a TERRIFIC recipe for turning up on one of those real crime shows with photos of yourself and “last seen” underneath while the details of your abusive spouse are droned out, however.

The only thing she needs to correct is her engagement to him.

This is utterly ridiculous, AntiDog Guy. Was this an arranged engagement and you only met a week ago? Did you never once go to her house? She never mentioned SHE HAS TWO DOGS? The “pets I have” thing tends to come up early in a dating relationship. If you despise dogs so utterly how on earth did you two get as far as…

You’re right, I mean “assholes who track litter on your counters and run around like maniacs at 4am literally every day.”

Nobody who hates dogs is allowed to be loved, she’s going to leave you anyway.

Um. I have 8 dogs, and (now) 2 cats (I had 4). I am not a “dog addict.” I am a person who loves dogs, works with rescue, and has the space and resources to give a loving home to abandoned animals who need it. I’m also lucky enough to have a partner who is of the same mind as I.

Patrick, less is more. This guy is obviously a dick with his whole “you must change for me to marry you” malarkey and these two need to go their separate ways. The dogs predate this schmuck.

Dog people are annoying? Because they love their dogs? Get a grip.

So dude proposed to a woman who loves dogs. I presume she had them before he did that, and now he wants to call off the whole thing. What a coward. I was bitten on my head by my grandmothers dog when I was a small child. It was 100% my fault. To this day I’m cautious (and respectful) of large dogs, but I’m not…

i have some advice: dump the guy who wrote the letter. too many people dump animals for people - and chances are, if someone makes you dump a pet, they’re a horrible person.

As a Dog Person, I would never contemplate marrying someone who disliked dogs. And someone who asked me to get rid of my dog...yeah, bye. I’ve known her longer, she already lives here. You don’t.

This is a conversation they should have had LOOOOOOOOOOOONG ago. People that love dogs don’t, generally, decide they can go the rest of their lives without having another dog or three around.

This is absolutely not on the fiancee to fix. The dogs were a pre-existing condition, so to speak, and OP knew this going in. You don’t give up dogs like they’re furniture that doesn’t work with a new house or something. This OP needs therapy, which s/he should have gotten years ago (since dogs aren’t exactly…

Fuck this guy. Seriously, this should have been addressed a long time ago, and is absolutely not her fault or burden to correct.
