Your girlfriend says its her or the dog. Which do you choose?

[QUOTE="MrGeezer"]

*Insert Geezer talk here*.

ProjectTrinity

Yeah Geezer needs to calm down. I still pick the dog because of the reasons stated in the OP

Go for the dog.

The dog satisfies your sexual needs, the girlfriend does not.

At least, in my experience.

She DID discuss such things simply by providing the ultimatum in the first place.

A dog cannot do that, and that seems to be a very strong reason why dogs are so loved.

Dogs can be EASILY forced into unconditional love. It is EASY to fill gaps in our personal lives simply by buying a ****ing dog. But again, the love of a dog is a poor substitute for th love of a human. Ahuman has a choice, a dog does not, and that instantly renders the dog's "love" largely irrelevant. It didn't CHOOSE to love you, it HAD to love you, since it is your dog.

Yes, the love of a human absolutely wins out over the love from a dog.

And again, I never said that the guy's girlfriend was worth a damn anyway. She might be total trash, and the TC might still be right to dump her ass. But not because of the dog issue. If she's worth a damn, then get rid of the dog since the girlfriend is better. If she is NOT worth a damn, then the dog issue is irrelevant. Dump her ass anyway, since she's a piece of crap.

This even a question? I've invested so much emotionally into my GF (Not to mention monetarily also) I'd throw my dog out the window if it meant keeping her.Im_single

So it would be ok that she would force you to give up your dog that you love because she gets mad? If she loved you she would compromise imo

Really Geezer... Just calm down

*Inserts some of Geezers posts here* What if this was a one time occurrence ? Like say we've been together for a while and the dog has never done this before . I would find it unreasonable to have to choose in that case. If it is a constant thing then she should feel that way. Will probably try to find a compromise before though . Now if I was given a choice between the dog and my girlfriend unrelated to any action by either then the GF would be my choice in an instant.dave123321

I don't think anyone knows the full extent of the TC's relationship with his dog and girlfriend, other than him.

Maybe there was tension leading up to this, maybe not. I don't know, that's none of my concern.

But if this is ALL about the dog, that's a bit different than a continued trend of dissatisfaction with the dog issue being the final straw.

Should he choose the girlfriend? I don't know. The TC knows what's going on better than anyone else. I'm just saying that all things being equal, humans win out over dogs. And if the dog issue was just the final straw that broke the camewl's back, that the dog was never really an issue at all. The whole dog issue was just another sign that thew relationship wasn't working.

Well then, theoretically, the dog can go to hell. For all the reasons that I've mentioned.

Theoretically, the hell with the ****ing dog, since it's only going to live for about 15 years anyway and will NEVER have sex with me, will NEVER give me children, will NEVER be able to get a job, and will never even so much as be able to have so much as one single conversation with me.

Yes, as long as we are talking theoretically, then theoretically, the hell with dogs. Unless you seriously need them for home defense or some such ****, then ALL they are are hookers. Nasty ass beasts that get a free ride in exchange for pretending to "love you". That's it. And honestly, that's kind of sad.

If this is not an actual real-life situation and no real dogs or girlfriends are actually involved, then I am even MORE inclined to say that the dog can go to hell. "Theoretically", that dog isn't worth a ****ing thing.

Dude seriously calm the f** down! I actually do own a dog and take offense to that. You are just getting offensive now, nothing called for this amount of aggression from you. Your reactions are completely unwarranted

Yeah I meant the situation to be a one time thing as in this is the first time the dog has done this

The Dog.

At what point did I say that a anyone's human partner is worth less than a dog?

You are by far the angriest person I have seen on GS

At no point in this thread did anyone say a human partner is worth less than a dog. Only you say that. But its perfectly fine for you to say my dog isnt worth anything?

lol...actually, YOU seem to be the one getting angry right now. I'm not the one who just expressed how he personally just got so offended.

In any case, you sort of implied that by taking offense to my comments that dogs are worth less than people.

But...that's sort of your issue, not mine. I'm not the one who likes dogs, you are. I DO like tarantulas and scorpions, but even then I wouldn't be dumb enough to dump a good woman because she's afraid of them. I mean, we're talking about PEOPLE vs PETS.

How is this even a serious question?

And seriously dude...I'm probably one of the most asocial people you'll meet here. I hate people and try my best not to associate with them, and this topic seems ridiculous even to ME. By pretty much every single rational standard out there, people take priority over pets. There is literally no question about this.

Yes, that's how things work.

If my girlfriend got arrested for murdering a guy while high on crack, then that's it. We're finished. I don't give a **** how much I loved her, I am dumping her ass.

Yes, that is "my way", and she can hit the ****ing highway. There are "dealbreakers" in pretty much every relationship.

"Hypothetically speaking", as I already clarified.

And yes, it is my hypothetical stance that dog love is completely ****ing worthless. Deal with it. I like spiders, you like dogs. I don't expect you to share my respect of spiders and scorpions and intestinal parasites, and it is ridiculous of you to take personal offense because I see "dog love" as just this sort of sad and pathetic thing. You're freaking right that I don't like dogs, and find the concept of dog love to be pretty damn depressing. That's how it works. In return, I don't take personal offense if you were to come here bragging about killing spiders.

And I've just read through all of my posts, and I don't see ANY curse words.

They are the SAME situation.

THere's what you are willing to tolerate in a relationship, and what you aren't.

That's it.

More to the point, there's no such thing as a wrong reason to break up with the other person. Each person is in the relationship by choice, and is free to leave at any time and for any reason. For a hell of a lot of people, their partners being crackheads ISN'T sufficient reason to leave the relationship. And for many people, one person's pet IS reason to leave the relationship.

We are NOT talking about a brainless dog, we are talking about a HUMAN who has tolerances for what they are willing to put up with. If your significant other presents you with such an ultimatum, the only question is if you'll be better off with them gone.

Lol are you kidding me? You have cursed this whole thread. All you have done is put "*" so you dont get modded.

And guess what I do like spiders, and I respect your view on them. The least you can do is respect my view on dogs and pose your argument against dog love in a less offensive and angry way. One that doesnt involve calling them "***ing worthless." Instead say something like "I can see the appeal of dog love but I prefer human love"

I would say the dog, but i'd try to convince her for sure. Buy her a new dress, blah blah. But if you look at it from another view, your gettin some from the girlfriend not the dog hahaha.

0diablo0

well.....

Instead say something like "I can see the appeal of dog love but I prefer human love"

TheMightyHoov

Oh, I do see the appeal of dogs. And as I stated, in many cases I find that to be sad and pathetic as it is an attempt to replace a lack of human love with the love of a pet that has no choice in the matter.

Many people absolutely get dogs because getting a dog to love them is easier than getting people to love them. I stand by that, and I'm not going to not say that because you find it offensive. It happens, no question about it. If you are NOT one of the people who has dogs for this reason, then what are you getting offended about?

I already said I was offended by you saying dogs are effing worthless. There was no need to say that. You could have at least said it in a different way. Like I already stated in the above post

I wouldn't find a person who demands a decision like that too appealing, so I choose the dog. Plus, he's so cute. :oops:Bourbons3

And furthermore, you are seeking to simplify this situation even more than it already has been. You are making excuse for a person being ridiculous and saying that since they are human its okay. To hell with that. If she is not considerate enough to try to reach some sort of compromise regarding the situation, whatever that may be, then I would likely do better without her because clearly she doesn't have the mental capacity to consider my feelings in the situation.
