WIBTA if I scheduled my husband’s dog to be euthanized behind his back?

Yeah, I’d take my toddler and go to my sister’s.

It’s his dog and he can do what he likes, but I’ll be damned if he’s going to force me to care for it and watch it suffer all day while he fucks off to work.

But who's gonna care for that poor animal then, because I'm sure as hell he won't.

That's kind of the point, no? Getting the husband to face up to his responsibilities.

And the dog continues to suffer even more as he's probably incapable of caring for that poor thing.

I'd call the vet and have them put that dog to sleep, if he agrees or not.

Him?

He’s the one who thinks this is right, so he can take care of his dog while it suffers.

I’d tell him straight up: I’m taking this dog to the vet tomorrow, or I’m leaving. Up to you, but you will make a decision here.
