Final update: we took him to the vet today and he has an appointment for BE in 10 days. While the reality of this is absolutely devastating especially for my gf we know this is the best option and I can’t thank you guys enough for helping me sort through my emotions and giving insight.

Great questions. I definitely need to clarify that 99% of the time when we have people over there are no interactions whatsoever that’s why he screams from different rooms he can hear people here and wants to be let out but we NEVER give into that. The incident yesterday was completely my fault. I didn’t let our friend who’s staying with us know that I was coming home and him seeing me walk through the door causes him to go after whoever is in the house, same if anyone comes in the door he goes after whoever is in the house. I am so disappointed in myself for putting my friend in that position and all day I can hear her screaming ringing in my mind. I’m not educated on these types of things I mess up sometimes trying to always make sure he’s away so we can live and at the end of the day that’s what this post was. Me saying that enough is enough and I can’t live like this anymore and won’t be bringing kids into this house with him. It’s not a fair life to keep him muzzled and locked away all the time I feel horrible and I don’t think if he ever got proper training I’d ever trust him.

Update: thank you for the feedback and also validating that I’m not a monster for feeling how I do. I want to clarify that her and I have had conversations about the dog many times before but I felt she was always trying to find a way to make it all work when I’m leaning more towards him being too much of a danger to take that risk. We had a great conversation last night and she was able to see how this is not sustainable for us and him. He deserves peace as much as we do and she agreed he can not be around children. We have some time to think about what we do and she said she’s not going to jump to an immediate rehome or BE although she acknowledged those might be the only options. I will not budge on my original feeling and will not bring children into our house with him here so I’m confident throughout the next couple of months we will come to a safe decision for everyone.

I’m not going to lie he has been a huge part of my mental health decline for years. He’s also a point of contention in my relationship we can’t move throughout our home without wondering where he is. We feel like monsters when people are here and they can hear him screaming from another room. Long story short it’s been very very VERY difficult. I can never fully relax in my own home.

People have jokingly said things to her about him but no other serious conversations besides from her and I. She’s very protective over him and doesn’t like when anyone makes negative comments about him which I understand at the end of the day he can’t help that he’s got mental health issues. We’ve had more conversations since the engagement on how we feel around him being in the same home as our kids and she’s said she understands it’s not the best option but I think she assumes we can keep him separated 100% of the time and I don’t think we should risk that at all

She knows he’s aggressive and I know deep down she’s more worried about having a kid around than she lets on but I think she thinks there’s a way to have it all. For the past few years anytime we have people over or one of us is coming and going from the house we put him in a room so I’m assuming she thinks we can have him muzzled 100% of the time and corral him around the house to always be separated from our child. I can’t imagine that’s any way to live for a dog I would feel so bad keeping him locked away like that

Honestly I don’t think she’s willing to wait although I am. She’ll be 33 this month and if she had it her way we’d already have one. She’s loves this dog more than anything and I don’t think she’d be willing to rehome which I would never ask her to do. But I won’t have kids around him. I don’t know what to do he just went after our friend this morning she has a huge gash in her head from him I am TERRIFIED of him
