No it's not normal and trust me when I say this is just the tip of the iceberg. You don't say how long you've been with this guy, but he has some serious issues that go waaaay beyond wanting to move because of the dead dog. You also don't give the boyfriend's age, but if he hasn't "grown a pair" by now and allows something like this to "traumatize" him, he won't ever change and things will only get worse. People die too. What's he going to do when a close friend or relative dies (and it will happen at some point)?
The smart thing would be to let him move out, keep the apartment yourself and find someone else. But because people seldom do the smart thing, alternatively, you need to sit him down, explain the facts of life and tell him to stop acting like a 6-year-old. Think of the future. Do you really want to go through life with someone so immature? You can do better and should!
We've been together for 6 years. He is a great guy, I'm not going to break up with him and we are not the type of people that are territorial with our dwellings, we pick up and move whenever we find a place we like better so this would be our 4th move. Wouldn't be a big deal.
If you've alrady moved three times in six years, there's something wrong somewhere. And if you had already made up your mind and moving wouldn't be a big deal, why did you waste everyone's time asking the question?
IIN he wants to move from our apartment because his dog died here?
