AIBU to find his dogs in the bedroom a mood killer?

[Cootanee]

Would this be a mood killer for you?
new boyfriend of a few months, really like him and we get on so well. Everytime we start having a bit of a kiss and decide to take it up to the bedroom he insists on bringing his 3 little dogs up as they don’t like being alone downstairs.
by the time he has carried them up (too little to climb up) the mood has totally left me and I don’t really like having them in the room for that stuff either.
he thinks I’m being unreasonable…maybe I am?

Ew. No YANBU.

Your wish to be just the two of you when you have sex absolutely trumps his dogs not liking to be left alone.

Also tbh someone that clingy with their dogs would be a turn off. I mean good dog owner is one thing, dogs can’t be left along for a short while is another.

I have a dog who sleeps in our room but when there is romancing to be done, the hound stays downstairs - just weird and very off putting to think of ‘someone’ there present throughout 🤢

OP, his dogs are clearly more important than his relationship. Throw this one back.

Yeah, absolutely!

This would be a deal-breaker for me

That's really weird! You're definitley NOT being unreasonable. What a passion killer.
What happens when he goes out? Surely the dogs have to stay themselves sometimes?

I had a very disapproving cat that might have been the reincarnation of a Victorian maiden aunt chaperone.

Dogs anywhere tbh. I once ditched a guy with 2 hectic dogs. Always jumping on me, tails smashing on the walls, slobering, cone on head to prevent chewing the injured tail, more crashing about, sleeping in a cage in the living room, in the kitchen when trying to cook, him touching me with disgusting dog hands, dog this, dog that, vet this, vet that. So fucking annoying! Get rid.

Dogs would be off-putting for me. However, there have been many, many times that I’ve taken part in ….er… intimacies while there’s been a cat in the room and that’s never bothered me one bit.

You are not being the slightest bit unreasonable. Either dump him now, or next time it happens just get your coat and leave.

HE is the one being unreasonable.

thanks all. He did then leave them in the hallway upstairs but it was the whole rushing to bring them upstairs with us that really put me off

YANBU. However, i wouldn't date anyone who had a dog!

Def wrong.

they may get excited or jealous or join in

can you /him be sure of any tongues /licking are human …….

😱

He's putting you in a difficult position and its not doggy!

I wish there was a laughing react button! This is so funny!

Wtf

You now know his precious fur babies will outrank you every time.

Get rid.

This would kill the mood for me too OP!

3 dogs so small they need carried upstairs is weird enough for me.

Ugh, no. Just no.

Game over from me - you know you will always be second best to these dogs.

And here it is… the weekly Dog Moanathon!

Without fail, of late, there is at least one post every week moaning about dogs. Then the pro- dog people get involved and we have pages of it going to & fro.

Boring.😴💤

"Disgusting dog hands". I like that. I like that a lot. That should be your new name 😁

In fairness, this is a new take on 'Do dogs really need to be everywhere'?

Im with you OP - ugh
