Me and my partner live 250 miles away from each other
I am happy to move to be with him once ive found a job
Ive got a job interview for a suitable job coming up
Although now my parents are giving me the following reasons
Not to go
I have a dog, he is my dog and on that basis i want to keep him
and continue my commitment i took on, my parents are saying they
Want to keep him and i cant. Following from this they want me to wait
until the dog has died until i move as he will be less of a restriction/burden
on there life. Average life span of this breed shows another 5 years of living
The other option they have given me is that i wait until my grandma dies
My grandma is old and somewhat frailshe doesnt require constant care, just company and
taking out on a saturday for shopping etc My grandma could have a good five years
also, could be less or more i dont know.
Basically as my parents go to my nans to keep her company
And take her out on a saturday its a responsibility in there life
the dog is another responsibility, they dont want me to leave them
With these responsibilities. A simple solution is me to have my own dog
But im not allowed, even if i moved out into the surrounding area
they wouldnt let me keep him
They have expressed they dont think if my partner moved into my house
it would work, dont get me wrong they like him and get on with him
Although they say due to his different upbringing it
would cause arguements. This would force us straight into rented
Accomodation when we are trying to be responsible and save for a mortgage.
Please tell me am i being selfish or are my parents guilt tripping me?
