Today, our landlord has begun eviction proceedings because he’s received over 100 complaints about our dog, who barks constantly, and who my wife has stubbornly refused to get rid of. My wife has basically forced us to choose between that fucking mutt and being homeless. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was given an ultimatum; either get rid of my beloved dog who’s my literal only source of happiness, or find a new place to live (which I can’t afford). My asshole neighbors keep complaining about my sweet boy’s barking, meanwhile their bratty bastards are 10 times louder. It’s not fair. FML
Today, my girlfriend got evicted for having too many dogs. She expects me to let her and all 5 dogs live in my one-bedroom apartment. When I told her no, that I’d get evicted too, she said that should be a sacrifice I’m willing to make for “our family” if I really loved her. They aren’t even my dogs. FML
Today, our landlord showed up with police and legal paperwork that let him throw us out immediately. Apparently my husband has been ignoring eviction notices for months and having vicious arguments with the landlord. Now we’re homeless and everything we own is in storage. FML
Today, after weeks of asking my neighbor nicely to pick up his dog’s crap out of the common area, I got fed up and reported him to the landlord and the city. He’s now been given two options; either get rid of his dog or move out. He’s now sworn revenge on me, even though he was the one being gross. FML
Today, my now ex-boyfriend got us evicted. The lazy prick kept throwing dog poop onto the neighbors' patio instead of disposing it properly. Management told him he could either get rid of the dog or we had to go. My ex refused and slammed the door in his face. The lease is in my name, so my credit is fucked. FML
Today, my apartment complex added $250 to the $1,000 my roomate and I already owe because of an unauthorized pet and complaints from neighbors that our dog barks all night long. We don't have a dog, we don't even have a pet. FML
Today, I asked my landlord if I could get a dog. He said no, and gave me an illegal rent increase. FML
Today, I hate my wife’s dog. It destroys everything in the house, it destroys my garden, she barks constantly in her bed, and when I walk her she tries to attack every living thing she sees, but the instant I talk to my wife about her behaviour, I get yelled at for being mean. FML
Today, I got several noise complaints from various neighbours about my "dog that won't stop barking". I don't own a dog, my neighbour owns the noisy dog. She sent me a complaint as well. FML
Today, my wife kicked me out of my own bed to go and sleep on the sofa because the dog was whining, and would only stop if she was allowed to sleep on my side of the bed. My wife would rather sleep with the dog than me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How about you act like a freaking adult and actually train your dog? And if you’re incapable of doing the training, be ******* responsible and hire a trainer. Thinking that getting rid of a dog because it is barking is a valid solution is the sign of a true ******* asshole that doesn’t deserve to ever have pets for the rest of your pitiful life. You should be ******* ashamed of yourself. Your wife is 100% right in refusing to get rid of the dog. Is it shitty it has progressed to this point? Yes. But there were other avenues that could’ve been pursued before it even got this far.

If she’s unwilling to rehome the dog (which I fully agree should be a last ditch effort) you should have looked into finding a behavioral therapist for the dog when the problem started. If you want to stay in your home, I’d highly recommend talking to your vet to find someone in your area that can help and then providing your landlord with documentation that shows you are addressing the problem.

100 complaints and ongoing eviction proceedings sounds a bit past the point of no return.... Good advice for their next place though.

Why can’t his wife train the dog?

Op called it "our" dog, not "her" dog. Therefore, he shares the blame.

Dog owners like you ruin it for the rest of us.

As a landlord evicting people is a pain. If you agreed to take action in writing now by training/relocate the dog I bet he'd rather do that then go through the eviction process.
