Should I call things off with the guy I am dating since he hates dogs?

I was scared of dogs when me and my husband met. I had got bitten when I was younger. Now we have 2 rescue pibbles and I love them to death

I hate dogs and my husband loves them. We just respect eachothers comfort level. I dont have yo do anything with them so it does t bother me. Good luck

Tbf no one deserves that negativity! Throw the WHOLE man away, Trash Him!

I like dogs if they aren’t mine. I would never get one for myself, I don’t want their hair everywhere and everything smelling like dog lol😅

Just move on from it. Don’t play with his feelings. Sometimes, people hate :dog2: either because they were bitten as a child, or, they are just not friendly with animals.
I don’t think you can change his :sparkling_heart:,so better let him go and find someone that is more a match for you and loves animals.

It’s not that I DONT LIKE dogs. I’m scared of them. There’s a big difference. Between not liking. And being terrified. I love pets. I have a cat. I don’t like the hair every we’re. But I have him for emotional support. I lost a very favorite family dog we had when I was 5. He was very calm and protective.

If it’s a deal breaker for you then yes, move on. No point stringing him along if you aren’t compatible.

Your not a match, don’t waste your time or his!

I’d run, you don’t know what he would do to them behind closed doors especially if you aren’t around.

Get you a dog lover!!!

Get you some fun in and then move on :joy: not everybody has to love dogs. Or anything for that fact

Well I’ll prob get crap for this but idc…if my dog or kitties don’t like you or you can’t/ won’t get along with them…then it won’t ever work…my animals are my best friends and if they say no…then that’s it…I’ll never pick a human over my real babies or my fur babies…haha idk if your like me but if he hates dogs and your dog is a huge part of you…then nah dump him and find someone able to love you n your dog…and someone your dog can be around and be calm and fun not stressed and scared or full of anxiety…if your man is just scared…that’s different then pure hate for the creature and would recommend baby steps and ways to get them to bond…but if your man isn’t willing to at least try and trust you on the dog being safe then yeah dump him cuz your fur baby will always be a problem and it shouldn’t be

End it, isn’t fair to Him too drag it out while you know its wont work.

I’ve been bitten as a child and it took years to set aside the PTSD that came with it. I’m OK around other peoples dogs now but I would never have one for myself because I’m also very allergic. If you have a dog or plan to have dogs he’s not the person for you. The whole anyone who hates dogs trope is a bad person or red flag needs to be retired.

I wouldn’t give up my dogs for a man; so if that is an issue for you then yes. However, do it now. Waiting until something better comes along is a jerk move.

I married and had kids with a guy that wouldn’t let my dogs in the house.
We are divorced now and my dogs are there for me.
I came to realize he just wanted to take away any form of comfort I had that wasn’t him.
Dog haters are a sign of narcissistic personality in my opinion.

How about find out why he doesn’t like dogs. Maybe he had a bad childhood trauma or even an adult trama and if that the case be understanding and help ease him into dogs

Why toy with his :heart:? That is true mental abuse. Why would you want to do that to someone? I love all animals but I would never lead a person on just because you are having fun til you find someone else who loves dogs like you do. Maybe you aren’t meant to be with someone right now. So be kind and let him go and when you let him go tell him the truth.

If he doesn’t like dogs, he will eventually make you choose between dogs and him. What about kids? Does he like them? Instead of ending up with a broken heart in one way or the other, why not make a choice for the fellow you haven’t met yet…the one that loves dogs and kids and is going to really love you. Two words: Break up! Don’t delay the inevitable.

I don’t like dogs, they get in your personal space, they’re destructive, dirty, hairy, loud etc. I get that they’re so pure and loving but they give me more anxiety than I’m willing to deal with.

The guy I lived with said he did not want a dog. Couple years I bought a min-pin from a breeder. He ended up loving that little dog so much that he kissed her goodbye in the morning before me. Lol

Yea anyone who hates dogs is no good. He probably had a bad experience with one since dogs can sense when someone is bad. Move on quick!

Did you ask him why he hates dogs? That is a pretty broad statement. I love pretty much all animals, but dogs are my favorite. I grew up with German Shepherds and other big dogs. We did have a chihuahua mix, but mostly big dogs. I had dogs from the time I was born throughout my whole life. They have always brought me joy and they have saved my life because I suffer from depression and anxiety. I couldn’t imagine my life without one. Anybody who hates dogs would not be on my friend list, much less boyfriend list. He is not the one for you. Run and don’t look back. You need to be with a dog lover who appreciates them as much as you do.

I would ask if there’s a particular reason why he hates dogs. Personally, I say I hate dogs, but it’s more like I tolerate them and I can care and love them if there are only one or two, but I grew up in a household with 5+ dogs at a time that were never trained or taken care of properly.
But as long as he’s okay with you having dogs, there shouldn’t be a big issue. He might even be one of the types that actually loves them once he’s around them.

There are people who hate chickens or birds simply because they have been traumatized. There are still parents to this day who traumatized there kids about pets because they don’t want their kids to all for them. Have you asked him why he had such a deep hatred of dogs? Maybe it’s physiological. But honestly if you just started dating, if you’re willing, just tell him up front that it’s a deal breaker and don’t see a future but if he wants to date openly or be benefriends until either of you meet someone.

Yes.

I didn’t get past the first sentence but he hates dogs, that’s all you need to know :rofl:

Just because someone may hate/dislike dogs doesn’t mean they aren’t good people…Really ““Anyone who hates dogs is no good””

I don’t trust people that don’t like dogs. I’m a serious dog lover. If you get serious with this guy you will end up getting hurt because he’s going to talk you into getting rid of your dog or you will have continuous arguments over the dog. He may even hurt the dog or purposely let him loose. I would end the relationship and find a animal lover like myself. It’s going to make you a lot happier

There is something wrong with a person that “despises dogs”.
I can understand why someone may not want to own one, but there has to be something wrong with someone that wants nothing to do with them.
If you know any relationship can’t go anywhere why bother?
