If you wanted to bring a new pet into the family, but knew your significant other would not be happy about it, would you do it anyway & hope that your significant other would get over it & fall in love with the new pet too?

Hi Kim,
Oh tough question, wow!
Since I've been in a similar position ::blush::
Would talk til I am blue in the face with my SO/DH.
Tell him how much it would mean to me.
Convince him he would love it too, LOL
Eventually I think he would give him.
Is this going on with you right now?
Will be interesting to see what others say :)

I think I might be ready to get another dog soon. Our dog ( he was really our "baby boy")died in October & it's been really hard getting over it. Although, it's not something I will ever get over, I can finally accept it.Even though we both said we could never love another dog the way we loved Bear, I now think that I have more than enough love to give & I really miss having a dog. But my hubby is dead set against it & I can't talk him into it. I think he still needs more time, but I don't want to wait forever. I wouldn't want to get one until we make it thru October though.

No i wouldnt get one unless my DH was for it,after all a pet is with you for a long time,but saying that my DH is a dog lover so i know he would want me to have whatever made me happy.

Hi Kim, have you given any thought to another type of pet?

that is an interesting question....


I don't have any pets and that is mainly because my dh does not like animals around the house.

Good question! :)


I would not bring another pet into our house if we both weren't on the "same page" about getting another pet.

If my SO really was against it, I wouldn't do it.
