How do you tell your significant other that you want to live with them but not their dog?

You have to be honest, a good and long lasting relationship is built on trust. Tell them you love them and then ask how they would feel if the dog had a good and loving home elsewhere. Don't make it a situation where they feel they are forced to pick between the two of you right away.

Don't expect the dog to disappear overnight. The dog is probably your significant others "buddy" and the idea takes getting used to. If this fails to work, develop a allergy, just kidding.

Or how about trying to bond with the dog, you might surprise yourself and like the pooch.

You just need to say it flat out. If they choose the dog over you then it probably wasn't that great of a relationship anyway. If you compromise and accept the dog, it may breed resentment in the relationship later.

Come on why so fuss about a poor dog . Some people love dogs too much need to respect that Sometimes Compromise is good. Sensitivity is a virtue man.

Be honest and tell them. Or try to be around the dog more and find something you like about it. It might be hard, but if you really pay attention to the dog, you will eventually see the dog's personality.

Which I am sure I'll find something about the dog's personality to like.

Personally I think if you don't have a love of dogs like your partner then you are not compatible. When you own a dog its part of your family. A dogs love its unconditional.

Unlike some partners x.

I would think twice before issuing that ultimatum. There is often a very close relationship between a pet owner and the pet. This is especially true when the owner and the pet live alone (or just with each other).

To ask someone not to get a pet is completely different than asking them to give away a beloved friend. In lieu of making this demand, I would consider why you object to the dog. Are you allergic?

Have you had a bad experience in the past? Does the dog stink? Do you prefer cats?

Also, I would try to make friends with the dog. Unlike cats, dogs are usually eager to please and respond well to petting, praise, walks, etc. If you can establish a relationship with the dog, it might not seem so objectionable. If none of this works, you will have to make a difficult decision about how much you value your significant other.

Can you put up with the dog to have his or her companionship and love? Also, you don't really know someone until you live with them for awhile. Your SO may have traits or habits that are far worse than the dog.

(This may sound harsh, but also consider the dog's age and health. ).

You don't live with them either.....you can not tell someone to get rid of there dog so you are just no t going to be compatible house mates....I thought the same and I finally gave in and moved in with someone who had two dogs...I ended loving those dogs, it was really kind of a nice unexpected surprise that I grew to really enjoy the company of a dog. Living with other people means making major compromises all the time. You obviously like the person enough to live with them so why not like the dog too, dogs usually take on the personality of the owner anyway.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
