I have been with my partner for nearly 2years we have been through alot he has drank non stop heavy since we got together. He started to drink alot when he mother died so I was quite supportive but it's not got to the point I'm 22weeks pregnant when he drinks he's nasty calls me all sorts. Not only is it his drinking we got this dog Belgian malinous puppy bforre I knew I was pregnant and he given him to his auntie for a bit but then got him back not only does the dog bite me all the time to the point of breaking skin he actually bite my nipple. This dog is out of control he's 6months on still shits and wees in house , every time he sees kids he's aggressive so I told my partner I need the dog gone no way I want him near my baby when it's born so we decided to sell 9 days later we just had time wasters. He keeps saying he's a good dog when would you want a dog like that round your kid if bites me deffo going to be dangerous round a kid right? So I'm coping with this drinking while being pregnant and this dog this stress ain't good for me or this kid. Any advice

Leave him and let him keep the dog!

This is not the right type of household to bring a child up in. It's not right for yourself or your unborn child

The time to leave is now. Tomorrow would be good. Take the day off and while he is at work pack your things and just leave. Be sure you are gone before he gets home.

The safest thing for you and your baby is to leave this environment.

If you are intent on staying, can you report the dog as dangerous to the police anonymously? They might remove it?

Failing this, can you persuade your partner to contact an animal charity who might take it?

Do you really want to stay with this man who drinks every day? What sort of a life is that for your or your child. Does he show any signs that he wants to stop? You know his drinking could go on and on for years? It’s not a quick or peaceful end (for anyone).

He's been drinking for 3years tbh and yeh he knows it's a problem and he knows the dog needs to go. But he wants to sell him rather than put him in shelter saying he's worth money. But he's getting more and more aggressive as the days goes buu he constantly chases my cat so that's another reason as I know if they were left alone he would kill her. I love dogs normally but the only person he don't bite is my partner if my partner talks to any one or anything he gets jealous and is naighty I honestly think he were lied to be about what he's been breeeded with

You absolutely need to go. This is such an unsafe environment for a baby. And you need to aim to go down the route of supervised contact if any. The combination of lower inhibitions and reaction time due to alcohol and a dangerous dog is likely to be fatal eventually if you put your child in that environment.

I’m sorry but this is a total mess and you need to do something about it now before it all gets worse. You need to leave.

You cannot sell a dangerous dog, you are putting other people and children in danger. Do the right thing consider PTS and take to a shelter. I can’t stress enough how much this will only get worse.

OP I'm not being funny but you've posted so many times about this situation - I thought you'd broken up? You're going to get the same advice over and over until you actually leave.

Has this proof been lodged with any sort of legal authority? Did you visit the hospital for each bite?

or are we just talking about photos ?

It's been less than 2 years. Can you move back to where you were before. Who owns the house you are in now, you leave or he does.
