your partner doesn't like dogs

Yeah I would be fine with that. I would be fine with them bringing as many dogs as they want. I love dogs so this wouldn't be a problem for me. If anything I think that the more pets in the house the better! It would freak me out if I didn't have anything in the house. Pets can calm you and make you feel better when you're down!

I also love dogs but my partner doesn't want to own one.But as time goes by he learned to love dogs because of me.Now he more attached to our dogs and he is the one taking care of it.

I have had dogs since I was little. My partner isn't use to dogs. We live together now and she is finally getting use to the fact that there is a dog in the house. I wouldn't give up my dog for anyone. It is like having a child. Would you give up your child for someone? I think not. So, my dog wouldn't be going anywhere if my partner didn't like it.

WE have dog at home, because we need them to guard the house from robbers. But my husband and i don't necessarily love dogs, nor do my in-laws who feeds them. Actually, i don't even want to go near the local dogs even the to dogs which my brother-in-law owns. I don't like their smell and them going near me. My brother-in-law seldom bathes them and no one from us would like to either.

That question is a no no for me as i hate dogs like how i like the devil.Worst of all they are not clean.It might be that i am a jamaican but dogs are not likely to be in houses.

Can it that you are giving the dog soo much attension than you are giving to him?

Well when I met my wife she had 2 dogs and I was comfortable with them being with us and having dogs move in with her to my house. I had dogs when I was a kid so I liked dogs already. The thing it took getting used to was having the dogs sleep in the same bed as us. Never had that situation come up before but I got used to it.

I see dogs and I walk the opposite direction . Ever since I was about 7 I hated dogs. My mom told me my dad was bitten by a dog so I hated them ever since . Plus I assume they want to bite me so I stay far away. If a guy has a dog , I wouldn't be with him, it isn't fair to him. I will not live with a dog and if I truly care then I want his happiness and that means he Has to have a dog. I understand that. So I would walk away.

Ok I'm going to kind of flip my answer for your question. If I had a dog and my partner didn't like them, there is no way I would get rid of my dog. He would have to deal with it. Even I didn't have a dog at the time, at some point I would want one...so he would have to compromise anyways, lol. If I didn't like dogs (or anyother animal my boyfriend had) I wouldn't even ask him to consider getting rid of it. I would respect him for caring about a living thing that many men see as unimportant or inferior. So either way, I think one partner should always allow the other to have whatever kind of pet they want (as long as it's legal!) haha

My Mother doesn't like dogs, so I haven't been able to get one for the whole of my childhood. I am renting at the moment so cannot have one in the block where I live, but I do hope that I will be able to get a dog when I am owning my own home which should be within the next year or so. I don't want a dog that is too big, but I want one that is large enough to take for walks without having to walk slow while its little legs catch up with me. Walking a dog is excellent exercise, and I need to do it for my fitness if nothing else.

I have the same issue with my boyfriend, except he doesn't like any pets at all. I don't think I would get a pet if I lived with him because he really wouldn't care for it. I guess that would be me who has to compromise. I think if you have a dog already, then yea he should be willing to compromise. There is no way he can just ask you to get rid of the dog. If he doesn't HATE them, I'm sure he'll be okay with it.

If i love the person then i love everything that he loves. My husband is not really that fond of dogs but i am and so is my son. I have influenced him though and now he has become more interested in animals than before. I think your boyfriend will change his mind if you end up marrying him. If you really love dogs and he sees that, he would try to learn to love them to.

I don't like dogs now, I used to like them when I was a kid. I don't like them because dogs are foolish. Although there are some dogs which I like once he becomes a friend with me, otherwise I hate every other dog. I used to be friendly with the dogs but they bark at any time without reason. When ever they see they start barking as if I am a thief. I hate them at that time.

I wouldn't be okay if i had a dog. Your boyfriend, like me probably doesn't like the idea of it pooping all over the house, scratching the walls, eating paper, messing up the house and having to clear up for his mess. He must be a really nice guy to actually be willing to sacrifice for your sake. I salute him.

If I didn't like dogs, but my partner did... and I loved my partner very much, I would want them to be happy. As long as the dog isn't causing to much trouble, and your partner isn't allergic or anything, I think it would work out. He'll probably get used to your dog eventually, and even come to love your dog as much as you do!
