Husbands, what would you do if...?
Find answers to your legal question.





Husbands, what would you do if...?

1.) you always voiced the opinion that you hate your wife's dog (really the family dog because you encouraged her to get it when you were dating).

2.) you show this opinion by the way you treat the dog (not nicely, literally kicking it off the couch, slapping it across the snout, dragging it by the neck across the floor)

and

3.) you come home to find that your wife gave it up for adoption without consulting you because she was tired of you being unhappy with it and was worried your unhappiness would result in the dogs injury.

Would you be guilty, mad, betrayed? What's your take?

I'm the wife. Haven't given dog up, yet. He loves animals just not this one. It's so strange...

I can't really say, as I love my dog to death! To be honest, if my wife told me to get rid of the dog, I'd probably tell her to leave, the dog was here first.

You should have kept the dog and got rid of the husband!

I would feel terrible.....but then again I would hope that she would have kicked my butt to the curb before that for being a slime of a human being before that. How canyou stay with somebody that is like that???? That is one of the signs of somebody that is not right in the head.

Not a husband, but if he treats your dog that way, you're not far behind. Most abusers victimize animals before they take on a person.


The Voice of Reason
Guilty, and in your case it would be deserved!!


PrincessM2531
GOOD! The dog deserved a better home! He shouldn't be subject to that man's abuse. It's a dog not a punching bag!

If I gave the dog up for adoption because he hated it and was so abusive towards it, why would I have to consult him anyhow? Frankly, i'd leave a man who was so cruel and vicious that he would attack a poor defenseless animal in such a way. I'd be afraid that he'd turn his cruelty on me,or,worse yet,our children,if we had any.

My take is that this guy has serious problems. He shouldn't take it out on an innocent dog if he has issues with his wife.
Good thing that she sent the dog to live in a better home, maybe she should do the same.

Do you realize the husband in question is an animal abuser?

I divorced my ex for the same thing, only I didn't realize he was doing it until he scalded my cat so badly with boiling water that she has a permanant scar where she doesn't even grow hair anymore. If I was smarter at the time, I would have pressed charges....

I am not a husband, but I am a wife that has animals.. and there is no way that I would let my animal be treated this way by my husband. I don't care whether he likes it or not. IF he loves ME, he will treat what I love with RESPECT and CARE. Clearly your husband has no regard for your feelings and he doesn't respect you or your belongings. To me this speaks volumes. It goes much deeper than the fact he "hates the dog".. . By all means find the dog a home where he isn't abused and take a long hard look at the way you are treated.. you may not be fairing so well yourself. Any man that can mistreat an animal isn't a man at all.


tayhay
He is a mongrel - should have got rid of him!! Fancy treating a dog like that.

You made a bad choice - bet the dog never treated anything that bad!


Smart Girl
first of all, i believe he has some serious abuse issues. HOW can you hurt and abuse a innoncent animal!?! that is just sick.

If you hate dog's so much,why did you in the first place encourage your partner to get a dog?Iam glad your wife put your dog up for adoption as with you around you probably would have hurt the dog so bad,it would have to go to a vet hospital.Your a person who I would never trust around any animal.Have you not ever heard about animal cruelity.You know you could be charged for harming the dog like you did.I hope you feel real bad about what you have done.By the way you should see about getting help for your anger problems.I hope you do not have any kids,because Iam afraid you would hurt them to as you clearly have a problem.How would you like it if someone treated you, like you treated the dog?

From a animal lover.

I would feel guilty if I were either of you. That poor little pup. I'm glad you found it a nice new home where it could be properly loved. That seems to be your best bet in this situation. I could never do that though. If my husband was hurting our dogs, I would kick his *** out the door before one of them.

Honestly, communication wouldn't have hurt first. Without fighting or pointing figures, discuss the options and problems. If that didn't work and true animal abuse was evident, giving the dog up for adoption was the best choice. I would feel guilty for sure because although I wanted the dog, I would realize I was a horrible owner. Sorry to hear about your problem.

I know this doesn't apply to me, but I suggest giving the dog to a family that can love and take care of it. This dog doesn't deserve to be abused, and the abuser doesn't have the right to say whether the dog stays or goes. You obviously have to be the one to make the appropriate decision, and I'm sure you know what's best for the dog. Screw what he thinks, it's not up to him anymore.
P.S. I'm in a similar situation, and I can assure you, it's only a matter of time, before the subject of abuse, is you. Take care of yourself.

Guilty!

You mean that your husband is mistreating your family dog?
If so, that's NOT a good sign! He's a sicko.
Never trust him alone with your kids, if you have any. And you be careful around him, too.
He should see a shrink or start going to anger management classes ASAP!
Take your poor doggy to the SPCA so they can find it a decent home.
The neighbors could call the police on your husband if they knew what was going on with your dog. He should be arrested for that.
And I hope that he never gets another pet!

First of all, I'd never treat a dog like that.

Second, I would want my wife to discuss any decision involving giving away any of our pets. So, I guess I would be a bit upset if she gave one away without talking to me about it.

But, if you feel your husband is abusing it, then I think you would be justified in finding it a better home.

I hope everything works out for you.


aaron_charles_mccready
sounds like everybody bar the dog should be happy however you should show respect for anybodys feeling human or animals


Paul B
first of all i love dogs, but if i that happened i would kinda feel bad that she had to give up something she really liked (not to metion i said she should get it) just to make me happy (personally i would go adopt the dog back) i love dogs and i would never do that my fav dogs are Siberian Huskies and Golden Retrievers. my mom wont let me get a dog (wahhhh)

My first thought would be that you should leave and let him live with the dog. But on second thought I realized that would be cruel to the dog.

So to answer the question. I would not feel bad for the dog being gone.

Next time you see your husband being mean to the dog say "you are going to put it up for adoption" see what he says.
