Animals, Phobias and Love: Traumatized

Traumatized

By Anon - 31/10/2009 11:08 - United Kingdom

Today, I invited my very animal-phobic boyfriend over. I have a dog and a rabbit, who are always well behaved, so I insisted they wouldn't do him any harm. My dog peed all over his shoes and my rabbit furiously humped his leg and wouldn't let go. He's now even more terrified of animals. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were playing with my pet rabbit when my boyfriend discovered poop on his lap. As he brushed it off, I reminded him that there are a lot worse things in the world than rabbit poop. Almost as if on cue, my rabbit peed on both of us. FML

Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to meet his parents, and now they have a dead rabbit because I sat on it. FML

Today, I invited my boyfriend over to meet my new puppy. My dog decided to take a dump on his lap. He is now not talking to me because he thinks I trained my dog to do that. FML

Today, I walked outside to see my boyfriend standing on my porch, looking confused. He explained to me that he had attached a prom proposal note to his pet rabbit, and let it inside my house to find me. We went looking for said rabbit, and found my dog halfway through eating it. FML

Cynophobia

By Anonymous - 01/08/2021 04:01

Today, my new boyfriend is so scared of dogs that he won’t even go in the room where my new puppy's bed is, so even on the days when he’s at home not working, I still have to pay the lad next door to come round and let it into the garden for a pee, because he’s too scared to open the door. FML

Today, I was cleaning up rabbit pee from the floor when my rabbit hopped up to me. To prevent her from standing in it and spreading it throughout the room, I shooed her away. She got such a fright that she jumped in the pee and spattered it all over my clothes and face. FML

Poor little guy

By CatLady - 09/06/2011 07:20 - United States

Today, my boyfriend and I tried to give his cat medicine. Unfortunately, it reacted in a way it never had before: clawed his arms to bits, bit him so hard a tooth fell out, peed everywhere, including on me, and pooped on the carpet. FML

Random

Today, I brought my boyfriend to my house for the first time. He freaked out when he saw my cat, and had to leave because he's allergic. I've posted many pictures of my cat in Instagram, but he didn't say anything about his allergy because he thought it was just a random cat. FML

What's up, doc?

Today, I was spending time with my affectionate pet rabbit. He was hanging out with me on my bed as usual. After I finished giving him a long and thorough head rub, he thanked me by emptying his bladder on my leg. What is that, marking me as his property? True affection. FML

If you knew he was afraid of them, why not put them in another room or outside?

Wow, you guys have no rights to call the OP's boyfriend a "pussy" or a pansy because he's afraid of animals. People can't control what they fear, or they may have had a traumatizing experience with the thing they fear to cause it. You can't suddenly think "Oh, he's afraid of animals for no reason, he's a pussy" seriously, get some common sense. I also think the OP's an idiot. Regardless of how well animals behave, they can act differently at any time, she shouldn't have invited her boyfriend over knowing he has a fear of animals.

I don't think she should have put the animals up. She invited him over with the understanding that they would be out. If he was that afraid he wouldn't have went. He deserves it for being an idiot.

In reply to #31, I dislike you already from your name, 'Microsoftfan'. I agree that people can't choose their fears and phobias, but I never trust anyone who doesn't like animals. Animals are ******* awesome and your boyfriend sounds like a bogplow if hes scared of them.

I don't know what a bogplow is... but I agree animals rock. And the OPs boyfriend is kinda a pussy lol... Face your fears! Or don't go to someone's house if they tell you they have a dog!

enough with saying he is a pussy. plenty of people have phobias and they were born or grew up with it. i have a fear of large bodies of water but i can take a large beaten. heck i laugh at it sometimes. im sure there are plenty of people with phobias here to. besides if she brought him over and knew he had a animal phobia why didn't she lock the animals in cages or take them out back or something?

Not one person in this world is BORN with a phobia.

maybe not born but still it isn't their fault. it often happens at a young age so their isnt much they could do about it. when i was little someone put me in a garbage can and kicked it into the water. now i have a phobia of large bodies of water. when he was little he must have got attacked by some cats and dogs or something. the thing is you cant do much about it causing you to have a Psychology break down.

i feel bad for your bf. People don't choose to have phobias, he knows it is irrational but can't help it.

Yeh i agree, and OP you really should of been more sensitive and put your pets somewhere else, or if you was that desperate for your bf to be around them you could just let your dog in to the room shortly, rather than your poor boyfriend having these 2 humping/pissing animals surround him for god knows how long.

if you love animals you guys can never get married. He will insist you get rid of your pets. Some people love their pets like their own children and will dump a bf/gf over a "it's me or the dog" ultimatum.
