Would you reject a marriage proposal if your potential spouse doesn’t accept your pet? The story of an arranged marriage between a woman in Bangalore and a prospective husband in New Delhi has gone viral after a conversation came up about her dog and whether that dog would be a part of the family, should the couple marry.
Karishma Walia who works in Gurgaon recently received a proposal of marriage from a family in New Delhi. Karishma and the man had a conversation on Twitter, with the man stating he didn’t intend to allow a dog to come between him and his wife, and certainly a dog wouldn’t be sharing their marriage bed.
Thankfully, the couple had a good conversation on the topic of pet ownership before any legal documents were signed. Which is good, as this would likely have caused many more problems in their future.
Most of the comments online are in favor of the two not marrying, since pet ownership, whether it be a dog, cat or other beloved creature, is important. At least to the person who loves that pet. Sometimes we don’t realize we’re the whole world for our cat or dog. While they may only be in our lives for a decade or two, we mean everything to them. It’s not fair to have to rehome a pet because someone comes into our life who doesn’t want that pet around. Agreed?

If my partner told me these things about my dog, it would definitely be the last trait in the relationship. Undoubtedly, you will always find the perfect acquaintance with an understanding person if you use these Best Gay Chat Rooms following my example. I advise everyone to pay attention to the provided link if you are still single and want to find mutual understanding in the LGBT environment.
My cats and I are a package deal. We come together. Actually, I’d prefer it if the guy actually liked pets than just tolerated them. My friend’s hubby tolerated her cat, but the cat clearly annoyed him, and it was constantly an issue. At one point when she had a short term cash flow issue, but the cat needed the surgery, she borrowed money from me rather than ask her husband. They ended up divorcing, she caught the guy with his lover in their bed.
My pets are my family and if my partner did not accept them, than BYE!
There are many people who’d say the same thing, including me 😉
You have to know that it’s a no-brainer for me. Goodbye, -sshole! Hello kitty!
I’m glad she had the right to refuse to marry him.
In western culture owning pets is not just about the one dog or cat it’s about a choice to have animals in your life and home. If you have to negotiate an important part of your life , run.
