“NTA. He doesn’t own the dog or care for the dog so it isn’t his. He is being absolutely ridiculous. My boyfriend and I got a puppy that is ‘ours’ (but his) after living together for a year. I didn’t want a third dog because I have two senior dogs of my own. Those are also ‘our’ dogs but mine. If we split up for some reason, we would be sad, but my dogs would come with me and the puppy would go with him most likely. He’s a total momma’s boy but logistically he is not my dog and I don’t get upset when my boyfriend calls him his dog. That’s his dog!”
“NTA. Unless you’re both sharing expenses, it’s not ‘ours’.”
