We all have that one friend whose partner we just can’t stand, but what if their behavior threatens your life? One woman found herself in this exact situation when her friend’s husband refused to understand the importance of her service dog. Onyx, her life-saving companion, is a highly trained service dog who helps her manage her severe epilepsy. But the husband’s toxic attitude and disbelief in her need for a service animal have led to a dramatic ultimatum.

Toxic Husband Banned, But is She in the Wrong?
Dealing with a friend’s problematic partner is never easy, but when your life depends on a service dog, and they refuse to understand its importance, things can get intense. After a heated exchange, our heroine decided her friend’s husband was no longer welcome in her home. Despite her friend’s excuses for his behavior, she stood her ground, fearing his toxic energy and disbelief in her need for a service animal could lead to disastrous consequences. But is she in the wrong for banning him? Let’s see what the internet thinks about this situation…

“NTA
Her: ‘he’s just like that’
