A Furry Friend, a Toxic Guest, and a Friendship on the Line
Our heroine’s story is a rollercoaster of emotions, as she battles not only her severe epilepsy but also the ignorance and disrespect of her friend’s husband. His refusal to acknowledge the importance of her service dog, Onyx, has led to a rift in their friendship. She’s now left wondering if she’s the one in the wrong for banning him from her home. But amidst the drama, one thing remains clear: her bond with Onyx is unbreakable. Let’s see what the world has to say about this tangled web of friendship, respect, and the vital role of a service dog…
NTA. Comment and replies support OP’s decision to bar friend’s husband.

NTA: Choose who you invite, friend can handle husband-free time.

“NTA
Her: ‘he’s just like that’
Response: ‘and he’s perfectly welcome to be like that absolutely anywhere except in my home.’
I always find that such a weird defense. It’s like saying ‘don’t worry, his shittyness is core to his being—not some surface level shittyness he could overcome with a little work.’
Like, is that better?”
NTA. Friend’s husband is a piece of work.

NTA. Don’t need that negativity!

NTA!!! Your friend’s husband is TA and your friend is as well, quite frankly. How could she have remained silent while he berated you because HE wanted what HE wanted?! Tell him to get his own dog and leave yours alone!

NTA. Friend’s husband doesn’t understand service dogs. Cut them both.

NTA for finding it weird that he wants a dog sleepover

Watch out! NTA, husband might kidnap your dog! Be cautious.

NTA: Friend’s husband crosses boundaries by wanting to borrow service dog

Friend’s safety compromised by jerk husband. NTA for setting boundaries.

NTA Pushy people with other people’s pets are annoying

“NTA. Your dog is #1 medical equipment for you. What an a**hole move.”

Stand up for yourself and call out unacceptable behavior! ✊

NTA: Friend’s husband is a problem, but you’re in the clear

NTA, your friend’s husband is jeopardizing your health and safety

Spot on. “This bad person was awful to me and I don’t want to be around them. aM I tHe aSsHOle???” Enough of these fake and/or stupid posts.

Defending service dog use against ableist assumptions: a frustrating battle

Friendship tested by disrespect, but loyalty and empathy prevail. ❤️

NTA: Service dog is medical equipment. Husband sounds like an idiot.

Awkward comment sparks an unexpected conversation about virginity
