I love animals so much. For a person to be my "future husband" they would have to love animals, too. They wouldn't have to have pets, but they would have to be willing to live with any animal that is not dangerous. If he wanted me to get rid of an animal that I chose to invite into my home just because he doesn't like it, then he would have to find a new place to live. That would be like if your husband told you to get rid of your child. Unless it's because he feels physically threatened, it's not going to happen.

U MUST BE JOKING. First i would never get rid of my wife that I had. 2nd I would never marry again, no-one would put up with me and my 2 babies [dogs] look at the picture. Most of all If I did remarry the wife goes before the dogs, my prenup.. REMEMBER ALWAYS LUV/ CARE FOR YOUR DOGS/ PETS, THEY WILL ALWAYS LUV U..

if he doesn't,then I won't marry him.if he is worried about his cat/s,it's better if we socialize our pets.we will become a family,so it's better if we introduce them to each other early.I will not marry a guy who doesn't love pets.forget him;I don't need guys like him.I will choose my pet/s over him.

I think whoever came first. If the dog or the cat came first before him/her, I will choose my pet. He or she should know that my pet is important to me. If the dog or the cat came after, I think we should have talked about it already.

Oh dear!I do not like to have pets at home and in fact i am not too comfortable wth them.Mine is an arranged marriage and if I had known that my future husband likes pets I would have asked my father to look for another groom.

My dogs are like my children. I wouldnt get rid of my children for anyone nor my dogs. If It came down to my dogs or my man, ADIOS my love! My hubby loves the dogs just as I do so dont have to worry. However, If we broke up I dont think I would see any else for a while. My dogs are my heart. I am not going to let anyone walk into my life with ultimatums regarding people or dogs close to my heart. Seems like he's got a personal problem to me. Happy Posting my friend. dl

First of all,it's cats. Dawn's checklist: Must like cats Don't like cats? End it before it starts! Easy...

if my prospective partner asks me to make a choice between him or my pets, he's the one i'd kick to the curb. my pets are here to stay -- not necessarily him. when i rescued my pets, i promised to take care of them for as long as they are around. and, if he has the audacity to make me choose, then he's not worth having around.

If it was me , I would feed neither dog nor cat. Just feed a e-cat and e-dog. That's all

hi icesmile, i think i would not be in this situation. i do not have a dog now. but to your discussion, i think a person who do not like pet is a man lack of love to baby. if my future hus does not like my pet dog, but he loves baby, i would send my pet dog to my mom, on the other hand, if he does not like baby either, i would depart with him.

If they give you an ultimatum like that, I don't think that they care for you as much as you think they do... I mean it's just one dog. But if it's like 15 of them that's a different story. But I would try to compromise, maybe start putting the dog outside or find a way around it. good luck!

I would hope he or she could learn to love my pet atleast give it chance with an open mind. I wouldn't make my pet suffer in anyway. I would hope somekind of compromise could be made so that it would be fair to both animals and people.

hi icesmile well I made darned sure before I accepted his proposal that he loved dogs and cats as much as I did. If I had a future husband who wanted me to get rid of my dog,just guess who was going to get the old heave ho, yep the boyfriend.any man who dislikes pets would not have been the man for me, simple as that.

I wouldn't even be interested in a significant other that did not like my pets. They would be out the door is a HOT second. Buh-Bye!! I didn't change for my mother -who begged me tons of times to get rid of my animals for my health (I have Asthma) and I wont change for anyone else. I had a free place to live when I was with my mother. but her husband did not like my cat- and after I caught him chasing it around the Yard with a stick - I said sorry mom I can not stay here anymore- and I have lived on my own ever since, and I went from 1 cat to (at last count) 15! And 4 dogs... Ha ha- hope that answers your question... Down with the Humans! I would rather have an animal companion! Or a Companion that loves animals.

Thankfully we never had to deal with this situation. My husband came to live in my home for the first several years of our relationship and my dog was there, so he grew to love her. He, however, had left his dog living with his parents (prior to us even meeting and they decided to get rid of her before we got a home of our own). I couldn't imagine a member of a couple giving an ultimatum like that because at least for me, my dog is like a member of my family. Truth be known, she is my oldest child and she's been a part of my life for the last ten years.

that means he doesnt care for me and my happiness, if i am happy with my dog, he should be happy too, if he is not happy, that means he doesnt care and doesnt understand what the dog means to me... i love my dog. he should learn to love it too. if he doesnt accept my dog, im gonna cool myself and wait for his apology.

Fortunately, I have a wonderful husband who would never try to make me chooce between him or my pet. I have, in the past, had a pet cat who he didn't like at all. She didn't like him, either, though. She would hiss at him everytime he got near her. He didn't make me get rid of her. However, when my baby was born and she kept getting into my baby's face, I had to let her go live with my mother-in-law. I was heart-broken! If I were faced with the problem of him saying to choose, I guess I would have to say bye to my pet. As long as it was just a dog, I could take it to my parent's house, so I would still be able to see it whenever I visited, though. I love my husband too much to choose an animal over him.
