Hi

Ive been with my partner 5 years when we met she had dogs which i dont mind dogs been brought up with them. I always wanted one but unable to pick up there poo just feel sick and throw up sometimes when i have tryed. I know man up but have tryed. Anyway i asked her to move in on the condition she looked after her dog ans cleaned up because i noticed in the last house she never did. It was that bad instead of cleaning it up ahe just mowed over the grass with it on there and handed house back to landlord.

When she moved into my house she had only got a springer spainiel. Problay every other month she might take it for a walk if lucky and leave the garden full of dog mess for weeks sometimes. If i ever try to talk to her about it she goes mad at me. She never really cleans the house of dog hair or anything else to be fair. She got a cat next which she never really bothers cleaning the litter tray out either.

Am i just with a bad person who will not change and should i just leave? What does it say about somebody like this?

I think you've answered your own question.
Personally I couldn't live with anyone who doesn't take care of their home or pets.

I feel sorry for the landlords being left with houses in this state.

You're both lucky that no one has reported you to rspca.

I have done but they havent done anything about it. Apparently not walking a dog isnt cruel i beg to differ and my freinds think the same.

Envy I'm sorry but she sounds awful.

Springer Spaniels need walking atleast once a day. Not cleaning up after pets is gross and neglectful- it's all very cruel.

Yes you made a mistake. Easily rectified. Off she goes! I would make your parting gift a book on how to properly care for pets - or send her links to articles.

Poor pets Sad

Euw! 😷. Yes, I think you were 'hopeful' or 'optimistic' in your expectations of her OP. She actually sounds a bit odd tbh. I mean if you loved your pets, why would you neglect them and the environment in which you live? Mental heath or laziness?

I personally would be making plans for her to move out and reporting her to the appropriate animal agencies if it were me.

Good luck.

She is cruel and lazy. I'd ask her to move out.

hellsbellsmelons · 08/01/2019 08:44

This is a no-brainer OP.
She's not looking after her pets and that is neglect.
She sounds lazy and entitled.
Time to give her notice to move out.

She’s gross! Not cleaning up dogs mess! Disgusting. She should be hoovering up the dog hair every day. Get rid and get your clean house back!

DanielCraigsUnderpants · 08/01/2019 09:18

Well. Obviously she's out of order and not holding up to her promises so you are well within your rights to break up. I'm not sure how you can stand by and let the dog go without a walk either and not do it yourself or pay for a walker though. People might say it's Not your problem but when you moved in presumably it was to share your lives. it's not the dogs fault. And you knew she had the dog when she moved in.
