I recently became single because my ex decided he couldn't live with my cat. Prior to this, he kept giving me ultimatums: the cat leaves or he does. Would any of you give up your pet to make somebody else happy?
Absolutely not. Any person who doesn't like my pets isn't for me. I'm sorry this happened to you. There are many other people who will love you AND your feline family.
I don't have pets, but I have a friend who gave away her children's cat to be with a new man. The children were really attached to the cat. It was pretty sad.
Why did your ex not want to live with the cat?
I had a gf who was allergic to cats. My cat is also my son's cat. Midnight stays. Tough cookies.
If were we're just talking one pet, no. I have one cat. I wouldn't leave over that. I'm just not into people who want like, 5-10 animals. My ex wife was like that. That's not why we divorced either BTW. But I am happy I don't have to deal with all those pets anymore.
Anyone who expects their partner to give up their pet for them is alarmingly selfish. It's no fun breaking up with someone, I know, but I'm thinking you dodged a bullet, honey. I don't think it would have gotten any better from there.
I did this one time never again!!! I will never be with someone who doesn’t share my love of cats,dogs,birds and whatever else I have in my life.
I come as a package deal !!!!
I would never expect anyone to give up a beloved pet.
I might not be the animals best friend but I would be good to it and care for it out of respect for the other person.
