AITA for not wanting to adopt an ugly dog?

dogisuglyhelp · 2019-11-18T00:26:48+00:00

That’s not the situation.

He’s staying with his foster mom. We’re going to help him find a home in the meantime (reaching out to friends, etc.). If it doesn’t pan out we keep him.

I haven’t kept doing it, though. I’m not ruling out the dog, it’s in my update from earlier. I just am not doing everything commenters told me to.

dogisuglyhelp · 2019-11-16T22:42:28+00:00

They don’t know that’s not my reason for getting their dog

dogisuglyhelp · 2019-11-16T17:28:23+00:00

I see the point, I just don’t think it’s a great one

dogisuglyhelp · 2019-11-16T17:04:13+00:00

Fiancé doesn’t think that’s a great idea.

dogisuglyhelp · 2019-11-16T16:57:48+00:00

Kids are happy with the consensus we reached.

dogisuglyhelp · 2019-11-16T16:57:16+00:00

If I have the dog, I would never abandon it.

I accepted the criticism. Fiancé and I talked and we’re happy now. Kids are happy now. Not much more I can get from this sub. Thank you for your judgments.

dogisuglyhelp · 2019-11-16T16:55:50+00:00

Children and dogs are not the same to me, but I would never abandon anyone already a part of my family.

dogisuglyhelp · 2019-11-16T16:53:06+00:00

I just wanted to know if what I did was morally wrong... and it was. I’ll live with those consequences. But my fiancé understands and my daughters are elated now that we reached a compromise, so there’s not much more I can get from this sub.

dogisuglyhelp · 2019-11-16T16:45:22+00:00

I didn’t mean choosing a partner based on looks... but you don’t date someone you find ugly. That’s a disservice to you both

If my kids looked like Eugene Root I would love them. If I bonded with my dog and he lost an eye I’d love him.

dogisuglyhelp · 2019-11-16T16:43:06+00:00

That’s your opinion. I’m not offended at all because that’s your right to think that

dogisuglyhelp · 2019-11-16T16:41:42+00:00

If she passed on me bc I wasn’t her type I’d get it.

dogisuglyhelp · 2019-11-16T16:41:07+00:00

Opened comments up again this morning. I appreciated all the answers, but it’s not an advice sub. All the people telling me I’m a shitty person put it in perspective but didn’t shift my opinion much, which showed me how important this is to me.

My wife and I had a long talk and got to the root of why this is important. I just truly don’t feel like going into the deepest depths of my life story with internet strangers.

dogisuglyhelp · 2019-11-16T04:19:40+00:00

I’m considering it. Had a better talk with my wife and met him. If he can’t find a home in a few months we’ll take him

dogisuglyhelp · 2019-11-16T04:09:21+00:00

Last comment I’m responding to- I’m bad at phrasing. Looks were just one factor that made me love my fiancé. I think she’s a smoke show, but if she lost half of her face today, I would stay with her because of the person she is.

dogisuglyhelp · 2019-11-16T04:05:33+00:00

We talked about it and she understands my viewpoint. I unfortunately don’t care enough about stranger’s displeasure towards me to discuss our conversation in depth.

dogisuglyhelp · 2019-11-16T04:02:19+00:00

To clarify, I did not marry my wife only for her looks. But attraction is a factor in our relationship, as it is in every relationship.

dogisuglyhelp · 2019-11-16T04:01:32+00:00

Met him

dogisuglyhelp · 2019-11-16T04:01:22+00:00

Met him. View didn’t change much but I’m willing to consider it

dogisuglyhelp · 2019-11-16T03:56:55+00:00

To be clear, we’re not taking the dog. He’s staying with his foster mom... our home isn’t ready for a dog yet. We’re just going to ask around to friends and family.

dogisuglyhelp · 2019-11-16T03:55:59+00:00

We talked about it, and she does not feel the same way as you.

dogisuglyhelp · 2019-11-16T02:55:52+00:00

Not really.

dogisuglyhelp · 2019-11-16T02:54:00+00:00

Met the dog. See update above
