A guy and his girlfriend live together and share a dog who is really wonderful. They purchased an $80 collar for him, and it’s crafted out of leather
It has a very soft lining, but still, his girlfriend insists on removing their dog’s collar every single night.
She believes their dog sleeps better without it, and it’s more comfortable for their dog to spend some time free of the collar
“But what often happens in the morning when I want to take our dog for a walk in the park, his collar is somewhere in a random spot in the house, and I have to go search for it,” he explained.
“I find it quite annoying to have to search for his collar when I have limited time before work to walk your dog
“So I ask my girlfriend to stop taking the collar off because it’s a very nice collar that is well made and not tight on his neck at all. She says no, it’s nice for him. I say okay, will you then put it back on him every morning, so I don’t have to search for the collar?”
His girlfriend did agree before insisting that he couldn’t bank on her remembering to do this every single morning on end, as she is likely to forget about it on occasion
He did say that was alright before trying to get his girlfriend to agree with what they had just discussed.
He asked her to please say that she would at least try to put it back on every morning, but if she forgets, he’s ok with that
Unfortunately, his girlfriend got exasperated and stated that their discussion was heading south, so she would not be agreeing to that or anything really.
“At this point, I’m absolutely fuming, I say I’m really disappointed and take the dog out for a walk,” he said.
“When I come back, I ask if we could chat about earlier, and she says no, and that I should have to deal with my emotions around it.
“…I’m not crazy, right?” he wondered. “I feel like my girlfriend puts the idea of the dog’s comfort at night above my need to be able to save time in the morning and not have to search for the collar. Now I feel super frustrated, but I can’t talk to her about it and resolve it because she does not want to talk.”
Do you think it’s unreasonable of him to want his girlfriend to try to put their dog’s collar on every morning since she takes it off every night
