It completely blew up into this GINORMOUS argument about how I don't even have this dog yet, and how he doesn't even want me to get my yorkie!! He's so seriously adamant about hating little dogs and not wanting me to get my baby. I mean this was like a serious all-out fight--all about me not getting this dog, and THEN it turned into how I'm a frivolous buyer/spender and I buy things that aren't necessary or things I don't need. It was so hurtful and so I was ashamed for him thinking these things of me, and then ashamed that I had to tell this other person I couldn't send her the money. I felt so bad, you have no idea. And now I feel even worse because I don't know how to convince him that I should have my yorkie. He says that since we live together and will be getting married soon, he should have a say in the dog buying. What do you guys think? He knows I've wanted one for so long and all he can say is that he doesn't "want a little rat". I'm just so upset over this |
Ohhhhhh, I would really be thinking about getting married! How long have you been together? If you have extra money and you want to spend it you should do so. If he's saying your spending money you should be saving for something else, that's a different story. When I want something, I don't ask anyone, I just get it. My husband of 26 years knew that before we were married.
I didn't have Princess when we were married, but he knew someday I would. It took me a very long time to find her. He had no idea the day she came home I had found her. I was buying things for her for years, I just couldn't find the right furbaby.
I think you both should sit down and talk about bringing a yorkie home. Let him know just how important she/he is to you. It's best if you talk this out before you get married. Yorkies are not dogs, they are family members.
I wish you the best of luck.
