I decided to move in with my gf. The only thing I am hesitant about is her dog.

Now, I love animals, especially dogs, but not this one. It is a small maltese. When you look at it straight in the face, it looks like a rat with all its crooked teeth that stick out. Its breath is horrible. She doesn't always put shirts on it but when she does they are things like pink shirts with glitter, it had a tutu on for a few days and it almost always has some gay looking bow in its hair.

Also, it has no training. No sit or stay. The fire alarm battery was dying once so it beeped and it shit on the bed right next to my pillow. My gf picked up the little poo and consoled the dog cus she was scared. I don't care if she was scared, if that was my dog, I would have given it a little spanking to try to help get into its mind that what she did is not right and should not be done again. But my gf will never spank her. That being said, the dog will never learn.

Anyways, the REAL problem comes to sleeping. I understand this is my gf's baby... she has had the dog for 12 years. She sleeps in the bed with her. Every time I sleep at my gf's place the dog is in the bed. I don't mind it sleeping in the bed because it is small and doesn't take up much space, but what I do mind is the CONSTANT SMACKING. Non-stop the dog smacks its lips and tongue.. whether when going to bed, in the middle of the night and waking me up, or in the morning. Hell, she does it all day. And I can't get good sleep because of it.

I told my gf about it and put the dog in her own bed on the ground (I can't hear her smacking cus shes far away on the opposite side of the room from me) and she woke up in the middle of the night whining and then barking. My gf said she would 'break the dog in' to sleeping in her own bed on the ground while I was not there but after a few days she gave in and is still sleeping on the bed. She said the dog doesn't know any better from sleeping on the bed because that is what it has always done...understandable, but even animals can learn new things. Sometimes I use my earplugs so I don't have to hear the thing.


Anyways, I'm sure you can tell I hate this giant fucking rat. Any other suggestions to try to get the dog to stfu or sleep on the ground? I've told her to try putting the dog in another room but she said no because she is her baby and will bark all night. I've given up to the fact that the dog will have to sleep in the bed and will never stop smacking and I am thinking there will be lots of nights where I will have to wear earplugs if I want good sleep. it is an old dog, maybe it will die soon

 

Just kick it a few times when she isn't looking....

 

the dog is 12?

shouldn't be an issue too much longer...

 

Just put up with it for one more year. Average life of a dog is only 13.

 

One time when I was sitting on the couch watching tv the dog walked behind me from one side of the couch to the other side. I leaned back when it was behind me and pinned it to the back cushion so it couldn't move. I could feel slowly walking out so I leaned back further and pinned it more. At that moment I had this idea in the back of my mind to lean back as hard as possible and suffocate it, but I leaned forward and let it go. Too mena? I really am a good person!

Yea, but this one looks too lively to die soon. Plus just yesterday she just sent me a text about a Maltese that lived to be 22

 

In all seriousness you'll have to live with the fact that she probably likes the dog more than you and it's not gonna change, if it's a big enough deal don't move in.

 

The cat okay?

 

Call Kerpal.

 

LOL stogie are you talking about the "you kick my dog.wav"??

 

^

 

THIS x10

Id consider breaking up with her honestly. I judge people on stupid stuff like that. Chances are trying to raise a child with her would be impossibly one sides.

But hey if you're just looking to bone then sleep at your own house from now on.

 

Well we both wanted to move in together, and she was urging it more than me. I'm excited about living together. It is weird how one small thing can be so ... Kerpal.

In time I think I will get to not hate the dog as much. And then when it eventually dies we can get a real dog.

I would never injure the dog. That is just fucked up.

Kinda looks like her dog

 

How serious is it, will you be sharing rent/mortgage? A few hundred/a grand a month savings is a big incentive to have someone move in with you.

 

I sense you will be single and sexless for a long long time.

 

Don't move in with the bitch...

 

She dresses the dog up, lets the dog sleep on the bed and gives up at training the dog when the dog shows a slight bit of resistance. When the dog throws a bitch fit, she consoles her so the dog won't be upset.

Oh, and she dresses the dog up. Does she also make baby noises when she talks to the dog? I'll bet she also dresses the dog up, too.

Sorry, but I don't think you're going to win this one.

 

Yes serious, yes sharing all bills.



Yea.. :/

 

I didn't really mean to sound like a dick with that. I just kinda lumped her in with a girl I knew who was way too motherly with her dog. She didn't treat her dog like it was a part of the family so much as she treated the dog like she had given birth to it. Her Pomeranian always came first, to put it lightly

 

first off don't move in, as it will most likely not work out...

second, if it is you or the dog, you done lost.

 

I know not everyone wants marriage, but I'm not sure if I'd do it unless there was some kind of long term commitment in place. I bought a house before marriage but we were engaged, before that I stayed at her apartment often but we didn't live together. All I'm saying is don't let the puppy love (no pun intended) cloud your judgment, you may be better off maintaining separate spaces.

 

You should share this thread with the gf. If she finds it funny, get married. Otherwise, move on.

 

Been there and done that. 22 years laters we are still married. It was a love me, love my dog scenario. She had a 60lb female boxer and she slept on the bed too. So a tad bit bigger than your GF's dust mop. Sure there were things that I didn't like and I was allergic to it's saliva, but my GF was worth it. Long story short - the dog and I came to an understanding there was a new sheriff in town. The dog and I spent a few sleepless nights battling out where she was going to sleep. I would fall asleep and would feel her working her way on the bed. I would put her back on the floor on her bed - you get the picture. We had the dog for 9 years and all worked out. Everyone "adjusted" and it all worked out for us.

 

Thanks for your input.

There is a long term commitment in place. We've been together for about 15 months and we both think it is working out great. We want to move in together to truly see if this is it for us ...or maybe not. We are past that honeymoon stage. And she bought this townhome so I am technically moving in with her but we will split the bills.

No. She will get very pissed lol.

I can share a pic of the dog in question though..

 

Pic of the dog?

No, pic of the gf.

 

I wouldn't be able to tolerate that, but that's just me. It takes me a long time as is to fall asleep. That would drive me crazy.

The coddling stuff pisses me off. Some people need to realize it's a dog, and not a baby.

 

Goddamit, Im slipping....

 

I was talking about the dog

 

haha my wife had 3 puppies before we got together. she treats them like her kids. she was actually at the place when 2 of the puppies came out to the world.

i used to be just whatever about them when we first moved in together, but now..... after 6 years, they are like my kids too. yes, they sleep on our bed too. we always get the california king size bed just for that. haha

If you really like your gf, you have to accept it. If you really don't want to put up with the dog, you probably aren't really in love with your gf.

I say just break up with her.

 

lol go look at the statistics of people that move in together before marriage and tell me if it is going to work out....

http://divorce.lovetoknow.com/Divorc...iving_Together

so go a head and I hope it works out but alas, the odds are definitely NOT in your favor...

 

Interadaetsesting. Well, we are going to give it a shot.

 

If you split do you get any equity out of paying her mortgage?

 

Ugh. Ugly ass dogs. Hope you work something out

Or it could "accidentally" run away

 

Not trying to be mean or anything like that, just trying to HELP YOU out. This dude here brings up an excellent point

not only that but what happens if things go sour and she wants you out over something really dumb that people whom are married would more than likely try to work through. if you are not on the lease or deed, then you are in a lot of cases SOL especially if you do not update your ID or show proof of residence

How are you going to handle the finances?

It's a whole different ball game when you are married and you are legally bound to each other

also might want to check out your state regarding common law marriage laws (if any) Also if you are a church going couple and you do decide to get married, most will require that you live apart for a certain amount of time before making a wedding...

btw, the way you talk about this mutt makes me wonder lol. tell your G/F that when you come into the house, the dog goes OUT of the bed.

 

You don't truly know how a person really is until you live with them. good luck, lol.

 

She asked me how I wanted to help with payments. Two ideas were brought up by her. 1- We split everything down the middle or 2- she pays the mortgage and I pay all the bills.

I was thinking of both but splitting things down the middle would be fairest. But again, I technically wouldn't get any equity out of helping with the mortgage payments. But if everything works out fine like we hope, she promised we'd move somewhere closer to my work (she is planning on selling this place within a year anyways and making a pretty good profit). And we could use her profit and we would both own the new place of course. So that kinda helps.

Agree, and thanks :gheyhug:. She stays in the backyard when it goes pee in the grass just so a hawk doesn't pick it up and fly away with a meal. I hope I don't forget to close the front door one day

A reason why we decided to move in together.

 

I don't have any valuable input for you since I would leave the girl if the dog really was more important than me.

All I can say is good luck man, hope it works out for you.

 

Trust me guys, the dog isn't more important than me. I know thissss. It is like I said earlier, she has had the dog since it was a baby. Women...

 

My wife and I moved in together after dating 2 months. Been married 17 years now. Just sayin'

Do what you want to do. It is called growing up. And don't take any advice from religious nut jobs...LOL
