Your animals or your husband? msg

[TopSpoT]

Just a poll type question.

If your husband said get rid of the dogs or I'm leaving, what would you do?

This should get some interesting responses.

One if he said that.. he wouldn't be my husband in the first place.

And Two, if he did say that, I'd help him pack.

I gotta agree there! I would never marry someone who would give me that kind of ultimatum... but if he did I'd tell him not to let the door hit him on his way out!!!!

I'd have to say well, it was nice knowing you. My friends make fun of me because I REFUSE to even date anyone that is allergic to cats. If it ever came to point where the relationship got serious it wouldn't work out anyways because I'm never getting rid of my cats.

If someone gave me that ultimatum, I'd head for a marriage counselor - something is seriously wrong, and it isn't really about the animals!

I always wondered what happened in the following...

Thats hilarious!! I remember that!!! Heheheh I wonder what happened also...

Thankfully, Paul, whom you all know is the co-founder of Pet Talk, would never ask that question! However, if I somehow ended up married to someone who would (brains scrambled by aliens or something) I'd convince him they could both stay! If it was a question of allergies, well, there are shots for that!

Actually to tell the truth Rob has actually told me to get rid of the animals couple of times. I told him no way. But he has never said he is going to leave. Just last night he said he wished he didn't have no animals. Well if he really feels that way then why is he sticking around?? I love my husband but I never will give up my pets.

Of course, Mark would NEVER say anything like that, and if he was like that I would have never married him in the first place

I totally agree!

If Dustin ever told me that, I'd tell him not to let the door hit him on the way out. I come with the dog (and the cat) so either learn to love the dog or we weren't meant to be.

same answer here : my hubby would never put this ultimatum in the first place !!!!

I agree w/ most people on here, I would want marriage counseling unless it was due to something like allergies! However, I am very lucky to have a husband who loves dogs just as much as I do and who thinks of them as our babies like I do!

Even though I'm not married [ I'm only 14!!!] lol.... If someone i was with EVER said that and the supposedly "love" me, The would understand how much my animals mean to me, and how upset i'd be without them so if they did say they would leav if the animals did not, the obviously didn't love me in the first place.

Hmmmm...when Mark & I started going together, I posed the pet question early on in our relationship. His response? "Umm errr, I kind of like cats, but I never would consider having one." Be still my pounding head! He loved my Azure bird, and he took care of his neighbor's cat (they were so cute together!) and I felt that it would take some persuasion and time. However, I also felt that I had gotten along fine without any pets my entire life, and I really loved Mark, so it was worth it even if he said no. Now we have a dog, a cat, 2 birds, a fish, and we are working on a bunny...and he loves them all just as much as I do. So you could say that I have the best of both worlds.
