Is it normal my boyfriend threatens to leave

if he is willing to leave you and the kid that you guys made together,because of a dog.then he is a BIG fucking loser!

I think, if he's willing to leave you over a dog you LOVE, then he's not worth it and tell him to fuck off.

Why does he have such a problem with it? I would take the dog.

Ignore him and bring the dog. Remember pets will ALWAYS love their owner unconditionally unless you've wronged them in the past. If your boyfriend continues to bitch about it either give him a ultimatum or dump him.

FUCK HIM. DOGS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN FUCKING ARROGANT BOYFRIENDS. THEY ALLWAYS HAVE TO FUCK SHIT UP. THOSE FUCKING A-HOLES. YOU TELL THAT SHIT HEAD THAT YOU'RE KEEPING THE FUCKING DOG, AND IF HE LEAVES IT'S NOT YOUR FUCKING FAULT IT'S HIS FUCKING FAULT CAUSE HE'S A FUCKING BALL SACK.

Maybe he just doesn't like dogs? I use to tell my boyfriend if he ever got a dog he wouldn't see me face to face until they were gone. Long story short, he got a dog. Two of them but I still see him despite the fact that I strongly dislike dogs.

Maybe he is just kidding around? You know, talking the talk, but he's not going to walk the walk? I couldn't imagine someone leaving their partner whom they have a child with just because of a dog, that's a little much. If he really cares I'm sure he would suck it up and deal with it, but that is just my opinion.

Hmmm sounds like he has control issues. It's probably not about the dog so much as he likes to know he can control you with the threat of leaving you..

if the dog is more important that your relationship with you then your bf needs to get his head scanned.

Sounds like a controlling dick. What could be so terrible about a dog that it would make you leave your significant other and child?

He's just talking. Where would he go? Back to his parents? He needs to grow up. Your house, your rules. You sound like a strong woman who clearly needs a better man. One that would actually marry you if you had a kid with him... Unless it was your choice against marriage! Good luck!

I would choose a dog over a human being anyday. If with having a kid with the guy.

This is an excuse he's using to try and get out. I say take the dog - animals bring joy to people's lives. Looks like he's just being a neanderthal ape...

This is similar to what a friend of mine was going through. His wife threatened to leave his son and him if he kept his dog. He kept the dog, and the bitch left. It turned out she was using the dog as an excuse to leave him. She wasn't happy being married and having the responsibilities of taking care of a child. I suggest you have a talk with your boyfriend because the dog might not be the reason he will leave.

Tricky, mainly due to you two having a child together.
If it was your house, and a child wasn't involved, and you really wanted the dog, you should get to choose, and if he doesn't like it, you would have every right to kick him out for not letting you choose what you want in your house.

But then again, he isn't saying "You ar enot getting the dog", he is saying he will leave if you get the dog, which is his right to if he is living in a condition that involves something he doesn't like.

Although, he would leave his child because he doesn't want a dog? That is terrible, unless it isn't his child.

My opinion would be to try find a home the dog could go to, other family members or something. You need to remember that the child needs a father.

Tricky situation but there will be a negative in it, you just have to choose choose the least negative.

Well apparently a dog is the only thing in this world that loves you more than itself - which is more than can be said for your bf.

I'd take the dog! If you get rid of the dog you may really grow to resent your bf, as you and the kids will pine for the dog and you'll be anxious about the dog's future.

As long as he has no repsonsibility for the dog I can't really see an issue for him. You never know he may grow to love it too.

The dog has never but anyone and she is wonderful with my kids. When I lived with my mom my son actually grew up with her she's a very good dog
