This post really triggered something in me.
Apart from the fact, that the boyfriend did not honor his partner's wishes, the comments are singing ballads in praise of his actions. Just look at all those rewards and upvotes.
But the part that we are missing is why this ex is an ex, why she took the dog away from him and why she even threatened to call the cops.
This reads to me, that both the woman and the dog have been abused by the ex. But it's not like the current partner cares, no. Nope. Not at all.
All he wants to do is gain the respect of a man he does not know.
Ladies, remember: LVM do things for other men's approval. He will try to disguise his low value by saying that he was 'just doing the right thing' or being a nice guy, a real 'bro'. If you see the first signs of this, run.
This man will toss you like a pancake if it means getting validation from other men.
I bet that if the ill person was a woman (like an ex girlfriend of his girlfriend) he wouldn't give a flying fuck about her dying without seeing the dog. The comments in the original post are gross, they just asume that OP is some kind of saint for giving this other guy the chance to see the dog whilst going against his girlfriend's wishes. He says that his girlfriend didn't want to let him see the dog because of petty reasons, but is it really the truth? He can very much empathize with the guy who will die without seeing his dog again but he can't empathize with his partner and her reasons (because I know there must be reasons) for preventing him to see the dog.
I'm so pissed right now, I don't understand why men can't simply respect women's wishes. Even if the woman is actually awful and cruel, he still had no right to do this. God forbid a woman tries to punish a man, for whatever reasons, because there always will be men trying to defend and save him. When a man punishes a woman? Crickets... Silence... Nada... Nobody gives a fuck, and most men will even blame her.
And yes, we should have compassion for people who are dying but only when these people were worth of the same compassion when they were healthy. I hate this "x person is dying, you must see them in their deathbed even when they were always awful" narrative...
What a fucking asshole!! He could have been her rapist/abuser for all he knows (and as FDS preaches, it is smart to NEVER tell a man about your past trauma/abuse/rape(s) etc. (potentially aside from a HVM husband of many years). I hope she finds out and tosses him in the trash.
Does he know why? What if that bastard mistreated that dog or mistreated her.
Ngl this sounds fake to me.
What an asshole!
And I bet it wasn't really about the dog for the ex, either. To me this sounds like an emotionally manipulative abuser trying to force her to bend to his will and exert control over her one last time to get the last word in and make her feel guilty. This has "If you leave me I will kill myself and make you watch and it will be all your fault and everyone will hate you!" vibes.
My ex-husband doesn’t get access to our-now-my dog. I don’t talk about it because I choose not to badmouth him except to my closest friends (and all of you!). He neglected her and she got really sick. To this day she has health conditions because of it. He didn’t fight for her because I said I’d share it with everyone he knows but I’m sure he badmouths me about it. I don’t care. She’s safe and warm (currently too warm but refuses to move from in front of the fire). The idea of someone I trusted going behind my back like this makes me feel physically sick.
how did she get the dog if it was originally his?
other than that, I feel like there’s a lot of details left out so it’s hard to make a judgement. If it was just a normal breakup and the dog was actually his, ok. But I am a bit confused.
When I first saw it, I thought there was a chance it was fake.
I hope she breaks up with him and dumps him. What a loser of a BF. He is also bad mouthing her on Reddit.
Well now I know if I get a new partner, not to tell him if an ex is dying…
I'm on the guy who took the dog to see the dying ex's side. Sorry, but it's just cruel to make the guy DIE without seeing his pet again. Now if he'd hurt the dog, I can see keeping the dog from him. But this just sounds very cruel of the ex girlfriend, and he didn't say why the dog was taken by the girlfriend. Nobody was hurt, and the guy will die happy. I'd hope people would have some sort of empathy when someone is dying. If he'd been a very bad guy, surely the girlfriend would have said why she didn't want the dog to see him even on his death bed.
