A wife took to social media about her frustration at how her husband has allowed their dog to occupy both the couch and the bed in their home.Reddit user "u/thats-madness" posted on the sub-reddit thread "r/AmITheA**hole" on August 20 that she was frustrated with her husband for always being near their dog. The user explained that her husband "desperately wanted a dog" and after fighting it for years, she finally relented. The couple got their dog three years ago, she said.CALIFORNIA WOMAN ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH TEACHES DOG HOW TO ‘SPEAK’ TO HUSBAND, ASK FOR FOOD AND PAMPERINGBefore they brought home the new family addition, though, the woman said she and her husband discussed the rules they would impose on the dog — including no jumping on the couch unless invited, and no dog in the bed. "Those were two very important boundaries of mine. I made it super clear how I felt about it," the Reddit user wrote in her post. After both parties agreed to the rules, they welcomed a Weimaraner into their home. Fast forward to today — and the 75-pound dog is quite attached to the husband.

"Every time I left for work or left the room, my husband invited the dog into bed," the user wrote. She said she's expressed concern before about how actions like this are worrisome to her — but that nothing has changed. "It’s gone on so long [that] the dog thinks our bed is his bed, and I’m so repulsed by it that I cannot even put it into words how much it disgusts me," the writer continued.
