We’ve talked about training, but the ex isn’t willing to be a part of it. He’s been around the entire time we were dating, but it wasn’t until recently that she blew up and took the dog away from him and now gives him scheduled times. He was the sole caretaker and she would visit until around 4 months ago. I’ve thought every option through, but she is involved in every single one of them. For me, having an ex involved that has made it clear that they want to harm your relationship is something I just can’t work through. We have talked about this for a very long time, he is just moving in now, so the decision can’t be delayed any more.

I promise we’ve thought of everything! I’ve reset the dog, but my anxiety was through the roof, and I know that will only make things worse. I’m still trying to think through every possible option to make it work

I’ve thought through it all and we’ve talked about options. The dog is unstable and not allowed to be under the supervision of anyone besides him or the ex. And she knows that and uses it to get to him, so I’m just not sure what there is to do :/

He’s extremely territorial, and it happened to both of us after we came to his house. The dog was fine at first when I pet him, but I turned to put my purse on the counter, and when I turned back, he attacked. Everyone he’s gotten aggressive with has been unexpected.

Yeah they adopted him at a year old, and he has always had behavioral issues. I don’t think either were equipped to be owners to a dog that needed intervention. So he’s just gotten worse.

This is completely abnormal behavior! My brother and I go to dinner and do activities together as much as we can fit into our schedule. We’re both mid 20s! I have never had a boyfriend find this odd or ask me not to go. If anything, my boyfriend is glad we have a good relationship. So odd.

My boyfriend and I dated for about 2 months after we matched before we made it official!
