My (29F) husband (55M) is the kind of person who grew up in a house with wealthy parents who believed that their luxurious house was no place to keep “dirty animals”, so he never had a pet until he was at least 27 years old. And since then he loves animals and I love them too and for a while I dedicated myself to helping him foster dogs or cats that he rescued, or that were abandoned at his clinic (he is a veterinarian) but lately I’m feeling overwhelmed, because he brings animals home all the time and I’m already tired of it.

Last night a person came to his clinic and abandoned a dog and her three puppies and he brought them home, the same house where we already have 6 dogs and 3 cats !!! I told him we couldn’t keep them and he said yes, that these will be the last (he says that all the time) and I lost my composure a little and I yelled at him that I’m tried of him because he always says the same thing, and he said that he is the one who takes care of them and invests money in them and that I’m overreacting. That when I met him he already had many animals and that I shouldn’t be surprised that he still has many.

I didn’t tell him anything because unfortunately he’s right, when we met he had at least five dogs. So I didn’t answer him anything and I was angry for a few hours until he apologized and said that if I don’t want them at home he is going to find them a foster family, and of course our children (9M, 8M, 6F, 5F, 3M, 1F) started crying and saying that they want to keep them.

We live on a farm where we have A LOT of space and having many animals is not a problem, also money is not a problem either so we could keep them if we wanted but I don’t know, I personally feel that having so many children and so many animals is sometimes overwhelming but it is not the end of the world either. So AITA for yelling at my husband for bringing animals home?
