DP friend jo has a husky and it was seriously ill with pancreatitis- and his partner was having a day procedure and basically Jo partner was adamant jo wasn’t going to look after him, and me and DP felt that jo should of been at vets about 1 hr away! Jo mum did do all the work when husky was ill and on one day worried husky was nearly dead! Jo mum didn’t tell him!
But jo partner felt adamant jo should be looking after him, been together 8-9 months! Jo partner family were looking after him! For day of procedure and day after, the two days husky was really ill’ jo mum was going on constantly via taxi to feed husky! Cost her a fortune
If jo was at home he would of done all driving! Jo was very upset that his partner basically said I’m ill - and you need to be there for me! Jo felt obliged to do so though feeling horrific about the husky! But that to be supportive he had to leave the dog his child in a sense! Even we said if it was DP dog and it was early days I would want to see him and would understand about dog also.
For jo is this controlling behaviour?
Jo should of been able to be there for his dog, and visit partner when he was better,
