@hjt I agree, our lifestyle rn does not allow us to have one right now. He works in finance related field and I in grad school while trying to get my startup off the ground.

@gisherjohn Thank you for responding. Usually he is pretty considerate of my emotions in general. But in situations like these sometimes I feel helpless and also ashamed. I don’t think its going to be a deal breaker for him, its just pretty much everyone around us have big dogs. And I am okay...

@imagebeastmarkbeast I can’t even imagine being stuck in that kinda situation. I did have a heart to heart with him and about how I felt about his actions towards this issue-he did apologize. But just posting here and reading everyones comments made me realize other underlying issues as well.

@ash_ley4 Thank you so much for your response, also thank you for making a point about rescue dogs. As a matter of fact I actually adore golden retrievers and when I am ready want this to be my or our first dog, but he mentioned his likeness for a rescue dog and thats exactly I used to think...

@jojaseto Yep I am considering working over this in therapy. I have come long ways but I know still a lot more to go. 8 years ago I was not even able to stand close to a dog, now I am rarely bothered with their presence even in elevators, on side walks n all, I have volunteered at places where...

@alice96 Oh for sure I will be addressing with a therapist. Yes cleaning, keeping things organized is a big deal for me, we already struggle sometimes with this I cant imagine how this will impact my time and energy in future.

@jojaseto He sometimes get impatient and in his way he is trying his best to get me comfortable. Although his intentions are not bad but it makes me feel terrible cause I love dogs and really want to play, cuddle with them cuties like everyone else. Yes thats why I posted here, cause I know I...

@yuckstine Thats the plan focusing on myself, but also working over this.

@koh Thank you for responding, yes I am paying attention to when it comes to redflags n all. His friend hangs out with us a lot usually and has never brought over his dog before ever, as he is well aware of my fear. The lab mix is a sweetie, I say Hi to this dog pretty much everyday whenever he...

@martey I have issues with boundaries, but I did make him clear that We are not ready for one, I am not ready for one. Not sure if he was really happy about this decision but he understood.

@no1texan Yes, youre right. I have talked to him about being patient as we are still getting to know each other more. He is a very sweet person but sometimes he thinks he is being helpful when he is not really.

@clare25 I fear all dogs equally, I love Pomeranians they look adorable.

@jojaseto Hahahaha surprisingly I am pretty comfortable handing roaches (H.S dissection class). But yeah during my meltdown I did make a point to bring over tarantula and make him pet that (he does not do well with spiders) 😂 I know it was a petty thing to say but was really frustrated atm.

Recently, my boyfriend’s friend came over to hang out with us, and a couple of secs later my BF announced to not get spooked since his friend also brought over his dog. This dog is a cutie, black, some kind of lab mix breed big dog which happens to be very active as well. I have been scared of...
