Some of us love are pets just as much as humans. I cried like a baby when I had to give my lab up after 3 years because of a move. Let's say you meet someone your dating awhile always going to their place you are really falling hard and they tell you that their allergic to dogs. You keep the relationship going? If you haven't noticed today been pretty bored staying on here most of the day posting topics. So keep the pet or keep the partner?

I don't get involved with guys who are allergic to dogs and I am allergic to cats, so that clears that issue up, therefore the question would be a mute point in my situation.

No brainer, no one, and I mean no one, comes before my little dog. He's the only little guy who has never given me any s--t.
He does what I tell him and he's quiet when I tell him to be, just like all men should do

I'd give my cat away to Dave for you, Missy!

Honestly ill tell you about my pets before hand so they stay!

No need, I'd take the allergy meds so you could keep your cat sweetie!

Well all I can say it would never get that serious if I found out that they was allergic to my dog.

Sassy has been with me for 7 years... The way I look at it you take on a pet for a lifetime until their lifetime is up I will have them...

See she gets us guys. Truly understands us.

Very difficult question, we've had it before a while back.
I seriously wouldn't know. I got three cats, one is 10, the other two (brothers) are almost 5 now. So the youngest could easily live for another 13 years, the oldest some 8 years.
Think it's a bit naive to say you wouldn't get involved with a person who's allergic. It's not like they got a neon sign above their head, plus you can simply fall in love and he/she could be Mr/Mrs right, not some infatuation. And it's not like the allergic person chooses to be allergic, it's a condition that can't be helped.
In a way I feel that if you would pass up on Mr/Mrs Right just like that, you probably don't deserve to be with him/her anyways.
Not saying one should get rid of his/her animals just like that, but neither should you give up on the right partner just like that.
However special you feel as pet-owner, pets can be happy with other owners as well. Happens a lot, not really a big deal, probably more so for the owner than for the pet.

Similar thing if you'd get your dream-job which requires traveling a lot. Would you give up on your dream-job and wait 8 - 13 years or so for your pet to pass away and put your life on hold?

I'm really not sure what I'd do. I really love my kitty cats, but I wouldn't simply let everything good pass me by, things that I might have been waiting for all my life.

The other hand side: I am really scared of certain dogs. If my partner to be had one of them dogs, I would never ever move in with him or go to his place. Not cause I don't like animals, but cause I'd be scared shiteless. I've been bitten by a dog once, seen my son ripped to shreds by a dog twice. Having to remove his shoe, the dog bit straight through, not knowing what I'd find, toes bitten off or whatever. Then watched the doctor wipe pieces of flesh from my son's leg with a gauze where the dog had ripped his ankle apart. Stuff you don't easily forget.
If I'm forced to be/live with a dog that freaks me out, meaning he chooses his dog over me, well, clear case then, ain't it. If I'm worth less to him than a dog, sod it!

What about this scenario: You fall in love, really in love, the other really loves your pet, you want to move in together, but his pet(s) don't get along with yours. As in they fight all the time or one tries to eat the other alive. Then what? Are you going to put your life on hold till your pet dies and not move in? Are you going to end the relationship? Do you demand him/her to get rid of his/her pets?

There's always two sides to things, and if someone has a good reason ... least thing you can do is give it consideration

I see it as a bit of a false dichotomy. I was out with a woman tonight and didn't bring my dog and she didn't bring her's either. If she doesn't want to be around dogs, that's not ideal because it means that she's not coming to my house and I have to go to her place instead. The dog can't be left on her own for too long but if I want to go away for a weekend or whatever, I've got family that love her and are quite happy to look after her while I'm away.

My baby chau goes Nowhere!!! Obviously I have to get a new man!!

.. let me just say this.. I dated a woman.. whose house reeks of cat urine.. not for the first two dates.. but by the third date.. WHAMOO.. hit you like a slap in the face as soon as you walk in the door.. didn't want to be rude and say anything.. well. and I'm a guy to right..lol.. but. after that night I never went back there again.. so yes pets: can be a deal breaker.. or at least pet owners that don't look after their pets... its too bad she was hot too..lol..jk..not.. really..

I will find somebody that loves animals. I am an animal lover and will always have at least a dog.

I'd arrange to meet him at his home, or somewhere different, if that was the case.
