Allergies are no joke.

While some can be life threatening, even ones that aren’t often have severe and very uncomfortable side effects.

The woman in this story is allergic to dogs.

The problem is that her boyfriend has a dog, and this is causing a lot of drama between them.

Let’s read all the details.

AITA for being the “only one” that doesn’t like my bf’s dog

Don’t get me wrong, I love animals but I have an allergy to them.

It’s not like I sneeze or anything.

But the first time it happened I got a rash all over my face after which my hair started falling and another time I ended up in the hospital.

Her boyfriend has a dog.

Me (22 F) and my bf (26 M) are dating for year and half and living together for over one.

His dog (female pomeranian) isn’t living with us but with his parents which we visit and sleep at very often.

At the beginning I loved her and gave her pets very often, after which I immediately went to wash my hands with soap and everything.

She doesn’t like the dog sleeping in bed with them.

The problem began when he was letting her sleep with us in the bed.

The places where she used to sleep was either in our legs or next to my head.

One time while I was still sleepy i pushed her to the ground and my bf freaked out and told me not to “throw” his dog.

Something else that she does is when she is lying on him and I touch him, she starts barking at me and his reaction “tear her” doesn’t help at all

She’s been trying to keep her distance from the dog.

The dog is very spoiled and annoying too, every time we eat, she watches me straight in the eyes and begs for food or for someone to lift her on the sofa just to get down and repeat.

After that I just decided to stay away from her.

Then everyone started asking why I don’t like her, “she likes everyone if you start treating her better she will eventually bond with you” .

Even he said that he will love me more if I bonded with her.

Her boyfriend also has an allergy.

On the other hand he has severe allergy to fish.

I love seafood, when I eat something like that, I don’t dare kiss him or touch him before I wash my teeth and hands.

AITA for wanting the same or at least him to understand me.

Considering she’s allergic, I don’t think she should go over to her boyfriend’s parents’ house at all.

Just keep that as a boundary, that she can’t be in the same house with the dog.

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this story.

This person thinks they’re destined to break up.

This relationship isn’t realistic.

He cares more about his dog than he cares about her.

And that’s not likely to change.
