Sincere question:

My fiancee has a beautiful Labradoodle, an amazing animal. Perfect dog for our small town life.

I’ve run into a disagreement however, in that I let her (the fiancee) know from the outset that I won’t pick-up dog poop.

Background: I’ve raised two children prior, and had no problem changing diapers all the way through. I’m not above getting my hands dirty for anything with the people I love.

I’ve also raised many breeds of animals, and theres always many degrees of messiness involved in that, which I’ve never questioned.

But I let her know early on that I won’t pick up dog poop.

And that’s become a bit of an issue between us recently.

I’m an accomplished person, yet very humble, imo. I have and will do whatever it takes to make my love’s life better, and our wonderful dog’s life better.

But I won’t pick up dog poop.

I don’t want to make it someone else’s problem either, but I also wouldn’t have a dog if I had to pick up the poop. This amazing animal serves no need in my regard, but gives fundamental emotional support for the woman I love. I stated early on that I will embrace this wonderful animal, but if it poops on walks, it’s hers to pickup.

That “understanding” is getting push-back. But I feel strongly I want to stand my ground.

I will not pickup dog poop if I don’t wish to.
