My husband and I recently got into some financial troubles (Parents sick, husband lost his job), and my husband just won't give up the dog, even though it's so expensive for us. How do I persuade him?

It's true that owning a pet esp a dog is ex, much akin to a child. I wouldn't advise getting rid of the dog just because that's the most convenient option. To get more $$, isit possible to rent out your room to help alleivate your finance?

Have a hard talk w your husband. In the meantime get a pt job in F&B, least it's better than earning $0 right? Bills will still keep rolling in like it or not.

Man this is difficult. I am not a pet owner myself, but I do have many friends who see their pets (especially dogs) as family.

Additionally, if your husband had just lost his job, it might be possible that he might be feeling down - and having man's best friend by him could help brighten up his day abit.

Perhaps talk to him on what the expenses are for the dog, and how it can be reduced without needing to give up on the dog? I certainly hope the situation has improved!
