Clear communication and establishing boundaries and responsibilities is a crucial aspect of a successful relationship, especially when moving in together. Having an open and honest conversation about expectations and expectations before making the leap is important. By setting out expectations and agreeing on boundaries, you can avoid unnecessary arguments and petty misunderstandings down the line. This type of conversation, like the one OP should have had with her boyfriend, is an important precursor to moving in together, as it helps set the ground rules and avoid potential conflicts. Our OP from today’s AITA Reddit story is stuck in a very unpleasant situation with her boyfriend. Take a look at what happens when she asks him to pay for an item of hers that his dogs destroyed:

#1) Is OP the AH for asking her financially weak boyfriend to pay for his pets?
#2) OP lives with her boyfriend and two of his destructive huskies. OP bought them crates to keep them safe and one day she came home to her favorite rug in the trash.
#3) OP’s BF explained that the dogs threw up on the rug and he couldn’t clean it. OP was stunned but let it go since they’ve been having a lot of problems already.
#4) OP sent her BF a link to buy the replacement rug but he made excuses and got upset.
#5) OP said he could have cleaned it and did not ask if he could throw it away so it was unfair to her. Her BF told her to let it go.
#6) OP pays for everything around the house and told her BF to at least replace what his huskies ruined.
The update regarding OP and the replacement of the ruined rug by her boyfriend will be anticipated by the readers, as the boyfriend’s reaction has been a point of concern for many. The fact that he never once apologized for the incident or recognized OP’s suffering has left many angry and disappointed. We agree with the readers that we hope OP’s luck changes because she has had a tough few years and deserves a happier ending. Here’s what Reddit users are saying about the situation:
