Girlfriend Allows Cuddly Dog On The Bed, But Her Boyfriend Yells Violently At It When It Does

by May

Women need to recognize the early signs of abuse to protect themselves and seek help if needed. They must trust their instincts and pay attention to any red flags in their relationships.

Whether it's emotional manipulation, verbal aggression, or any form of coercion, recognizing these signs early on can empower women to take necessary steps toward their safety and well-being. A woman took the first step in protecting herself by seeking advice from Quora users.

The original poster (OP) asked this question:

What would you do if your boyfriend comes to your house and violently yells at your dog? All my dog did was get on the bed which I allow as my dog is cuddly. My boyfriend screams and yells and tries to control everything.

It's easy to anticipate the community members' responses. They all echo the same sentiment: dump the guy and keep the dog.

While we don't know the exact situation, it seems evident that the man is exhibiting the early stages of abuse. While he may not be physically harming her yet, his violence toward her dog is deeply concerning.

Now that she has recognized his violent and manipulative behavior, the next step is to distance herself and her dog from this man. Let's delve into the words of advice offered by Quora users.

This is not how a boyfriend should be treating his girlfriend.

I can fully understand why your dog is allowed on your bed, as he is cuddly. You call this guy your “boyfriend” despite his screaming, yelling, controlling bad behaviors.I don’t care how “cuddly” this guy is, he is already violent, the more you allow it, the more likely you and your dog will be victims of whatever escalation he decides upon in the heat of the moment. He is not your boyfriend.This is not how a boyfriend should be treating his girlfriend.vientocuatrostock

If the woman wants the best for her life, she should leave the guy and start preparing life without him.

(1) Keep said boyfriend away from your dog. Next thing you know, this total jerk will be hitting and kicking your dog instead of just yelling. If possible, find a temporary home for your dog with a family member or friend while you deal with (2), (3) and (4) - see below.(2) Start preparing for a life without said boyfriend, because he’s an abuser and, before long, his psychological abuse will turn into physical abuse, total control, and isolating you from family and friends. Get your finances in order, open a new bank account and put away some money from each paycheck. Save your money and start looking for a new place. Be ready to file a police report and/or get a restraining order if things go further south.(3) If your company has an EAP (Employee Assistance Program), ask for financial advice, legal assistance or mental health counseling if you are feeling overwhelmed or need help figuring out a plan - or ask your primary health care provider for referrals.If the woman wants the best for her life, she should leave the guy and start preparing life without him.gettyimagespro

This user would kick him out the moment he yells at her dog.

That boyfriend wouldn’t be my boyfriend, that boyfriend wouldn’t be allowed in my house, that boyfriend wouldn’t be allowed on or in my bed, and that boyfriend would never ever have the opportunity to yell at my dog ever again.This user would kick him out the moment he yells at her dog.pixelshot

One Quora user delves deeper into the OP's issue.

I read your other questions, Rachel. As I understand this, you two have been together for five months and you're pregnant. You want the pregnancy, but are having second thoughts about him. If this pregnancy continues, and you successfully have a baby, he is going to be in your life for the rest of your life, one way or another. He is demanding that you marry him.You can't do anything to change him, you can only change your situation. You get new keys to your house, tell your friends and family, and dump the “boyfriend.” Block and mute him on your phone and social media. Get therapy and take a break before you get a new boyfriend. It's sad that you put up with his yelling and screaming unquestionably until he did it to your dog. You don't want another like him, so find out why you put up with him as long as you did and how to possibly avoid a repeat.Get your life figured out. You keep the baby, you are going to need child support from him. If you plan adoption, in many states you will need his permission to do so, something that the “adoption is an option” people conveniently ignore. Does he know or have you told him you’re pregnant? If you haven't told him, don't. Get yourself away from him, as far as you can.It's better to live by yourself than with someone who is one moment from being a batterer. After all, if he's yelling at your dog, for being on your bed with your permission, what is he going to do to you when you disobey him in a no-win situation, or a baby?One Quora user delves deeper into the OP's issue.gettyimagespro

Rehoming the BF is the best course of action.

Sounds like it’s time to rehome your boyfriend. The dog is fine.Rehoming the BF is the best course of action.gettysignature

Going single again would be an excellent decision.

I would be single. I don’t give a damn who you are, you do NOT come into MY home and abuse MY pets. My animals have always been my family.Going single again would be an excellent decision.elnur

The OP needs to do herself a favor and leave the guy.

I wonder what qualities your boyfriend has that keeps you bonded to him? Can’t you see that he is an immature and self-centred soul who wants to be in charge of everything?His yelling and screaming should show you that he has no self control. And yelling at your dog?That would be the final nail in the coffin for that relationship as far as I’m concerned. Give this loser the boot. You can do MUCH better.The OP needs to do herself a favor and leave the guy.gettyimagespro

Her house, her rules.

Well first of all I will be assuming that the boyfriend is a guest, just visiting you home. He doesn’t live there permanently.Is this shouting at your dog regular behavior on his part or was it a one off situation?If it was a one off situation. It’s not good behavior. It’s a red flag that if he is having a bad time, he is likely to blow up. Shout and yell.If it is a regular occurance. Well there is a whole forest of red flags waving at you.One day it won’t be your dog he is yelling and screaming at. It will be you.One time watch him. Consider letting him go shout at someone else.Regular behavior and he should be shown the door never to darken your threshold again. You would be better off without him. Possibly even safer without him.He is showing you a side of him that is not good.First. He is impolite. It is your house. Your bedroom. Your dog. He is a guest. Yes a guest with some special impotance to you, but never the less a guest.Your home. Your rules.Until he learns to behave like a guest, I would consider not letting him in your house. Meet him elsewhere, say goodbye at your front door if you wish. Bu as far as letting him near your bedroom. Not on your Nelly! That puppy needs to learn manners first. If you don’t gice him what he wants. He’ll either learn manners or take off somewhere else.You might lose an agressive baby boyfriend, but you would be doing yourself a favor.Learn from the mistake of calling him your boyfriend. He is a boy you happen to know. Look elsewhere for someone with a cooler head, who respects you and your rules in your own hame. and keep them out of your bedroom until you know what they are like. You don’t know where they have been putting their bits.Thanks for reading.All the best.Her house, her rules.evablancophotos

His yelling is bound to escalate. The OP doesn't need to wait for that to happen.

Dump his a**. He's showing you the kind of person he is. Right then it was the dog, later it could be you, if you have a kid with him and keep him in your life it could later be the kid he does that too. Eventually it could even escalate beyond yelling into physical violence too. That behavior is a giant red flag.His yelling is bound to escalate. The OP doesn't need to wait for that to happen.gettysignature

The OP has received her answer: she needs to break up with her boyfriend. To ensure safety, she can begin by arranging to move her dog first, seeking assistance from people she knows.

Once she finds a new place and gets settled, she can retrieve the dog, and they can leave peacefully. Then, she can finally enjoy the cuddly warmth of her dog in their bed.
