Reply #56: I like them fine, my husband hates them. [View All]

He's a very responsible person, and feels overly burdened by pet care. And I guess he's just not crazy about animals (like you he wasn't brought up with pets).

Well, when we met I had a cat. This cat was fine, though she did leave tons of fur around. When she got older she became rather loose with her litterbox habits. Once in while My husband would step in a pile of something nasty and this drove him batshit. It didn't destroy our marriage, but let's just say it wasn't easy till the cat finally met her Maker.

My kids would like a pet, I would like a pet, but the negative vibes that would come off my husband would NOT be worth it.

If you don't like dealing with shit, fur, drool, and eventual death... you might want to put your foot down.
