Sleeps with her dog - deal breaker?

You're basically going to be competing with that dog for attention and affection

Think about if that's what you want to be doing with your time in this relationship
Yeah, my ex loves her dog more than anything. I learned from experience that you can't speak objectively about an animal's intelligence and status in relation to humans. Some people have connections to their animals that logic and reason can't penetrate.

The kissing stuff is plain disgusting, though. Purely unhygienic.
 
I didn't know sleeping next to your dog was considered disgusting until this thread.
Maybe I'm hanging out with the wrong people, but most of my friends who have dogs that aren't big(50+lbs) are okay with their dog sleeping on the bed. Mine sleeps at the foot of the bed, but I also bathe him every other week.

Also there's going to be dog hair around the house always there's nothing you can do about if it you have a dog, especially if it's one with a double coat.
 
That's disgusting. I dont get how people allow dogs to sleep on their bed. Your bedding smells like dog and gross dog hair all over the place.
 
That's weird.
I don't know how people let their dogs slobber their face and sleep with them. Just gross.
 
Well at least its pretty easy to identify dog people and non dog people in this thread.

Your dog sleeping in your bed is disgusting now, what the actual fuck? Its most likely at your feet or against your legs, over the covers because they usually cant stand being covered.

You're not fucking them
 
I'm not sure the dog would be the cuckold in this scenario.

Dogs are awesome. But at the end of the day they're animals and people need to realize this.

Despite being a dog lover myself, I've always been put off by the kind of dog lover that lets their dog(s) slobber all over them, rub their asses (sometimes literally) all over the house and furniture, every time you visit the entire house and every object in it smells of dog, and especially the owners incessantly handling the dogs while the owners are cooking and/or eating. Anything having to do with rubbing your hands all over a dog and then eating finger food without washing them is absolutely disgusting to me.

So yeah, don't blame you OP. She's the kind of dog owner that just grosses me out.
 
You not liking her dog is probably going to be the dealbreaker for her

Good point.

I hope this thread serves as a lesson that there are times when euphemisms strongly interfere with clarity. If you want the right sort of advice, don't leave the title all ambiguous like that.
 
Unquestionably a deal breaker.

Anyone that prioritizes an animal over a human that much has no place in a relationship for me.
 
What the hell just happened? GAF has a group for every issue that will bombard a thread with overly harsh judgments. Disgusting to let a dog sleep on a bed? Disgusting? This is actually the first time in my 36 years that I have ever heard that word use for such act.

Regarding the OP, yeah, that does sound annoying.

No, the more disgusting part is where she is making out with the dog.
 
Maybe people are imagining every dog as a 100+ pound long haired dog that rolls around in the mud all day and jumps straight into bed?

My prior dog was a 25 pound short coat Rat Terrier who stayed inside most of the time, was regularly bathed and never caused the slightest bit of damage to my bed in the 12 years I had him. If he was shedding and fur became noticeable, I'd clean(!) my cover. Sheets are washed regularly anyway.

Somehow I haven't died of an apparent plethora of mysterious deadly dog diseases yet. Or had a detectable infection, tick, worm or dog related problem of any kind to my knowledge. I suppose I'm just one of the lucky survivors.
 
Totally serious post because I have encountered the issue - I would be less concerned about the cleanliness issue and more about your sex life. A dog in the bed can make getting things started very awkward and can lead to frustration in the relationship. Has that come up?
 
OP; run.

Animals are not humans.

Is it fine if the dog or the cat sleeps with you guys once in a while ? Absolutely.

Every single night ? No fucking way.

Brings back bad memories. Had to fucking hear them cry at the door during sexy times. Never again. And you pass for an absolute douchebag while it s common decency.

Yep, disgusting, gross, unhygienic and not good for them (it makes them have a high emotional dependency). I have a dog and I love it, but I don't forget it's an animal and I don't humanize it.
 
It'd be a deal breaker for me. Untidy I can deal with, but unclean I can't.

I've been in enough houses where you can't walk barefoot without collecting pet hair or birdseed to know I couldn't live that way.

I also have a dog and he rarely sleeps with us but you are misusing the words gross and disgusting. A clean dog sleeping on a comforter is none of those things. The argument of creating emotional dependency has nothing to do with cleanliness either. Save those words for many of life's truly disgusting things or they lose meaning when you attempt to use them.

Furthermore, if one finds the act of a dog being on their bed disgusting I question why they would own a dog in the first place. Why touch it at all if it's that disgusting? Might as well not even let it in the house either.
 
The title makes it seem like sleeping with your dog is some terrible thing, my parents have a nice smallish non-shedding dog that sleeps on their bed every night and I think they're relatively normal people.

Your problem seems to be with this specific dog who sounds like a nightmare.
 
That's gross and very strange. If I were you I would get out of that situation.

Edit: I'm talking about her making out with the dog.
 
An ex of mine had a collie that slept on the bed, but he was well behaved and didn't smell. If she had "made out" with her dog I'd have run.
 
Recently started talking to a girl, and we hung out a couple of times. I go over to her house for the first time. She is in love with her dog. Putting it nicely, it is obnoxious. Loud, jumps all over me, scratches, gets hair everywhere, smelly. She's constantly making out with it, which I think is gross as that thing did not have good breath. and the whole apt is torn up and covered in hair.

Anyways, come to find out she sleeps with it. Every night. I asked her where I'd sleep and she said it would be in between us. I asked her if the dog could sleep somewhere else and she said absolutely not.

Is a girl sleeping with her dog a deal breaker? Like if she won't budge.
Sounds like a girl I dated once. It will absolutely become a deal breaker.
 
Now it depends where the dog is. Foot of the bed is OK with a small dog. Anywhere near the pillows I put my face on? Absolutely fucking not. Same with people who allow their dogs or cats to walk all over or lay on their pillows. That shit is nasty.
