    I would unironically love it if my wife would bust out a chocolate telling me "whos a good boy?".

    I will wash the dishes for that.

    Would you do it for a Scooby Snack?

    Years ago I was a young white guy with long hair and a short ish beard. Someone at my job decided I looked like shaggy from scooby doo. The name kinda stuck and became my nickname.

    Few months later, I was at work and one of the guys came over and asked for some favor. I forget what it was but it wasn't like a 30 second thing, it was like a multi hour task. I denied the request and made some excuse. He then reached behind his back and pulled out a box of scooby snacks. They were like small graham crackers in the shape of a dog head like scooby. "Would you do it for a scooby snack?" Everyone around started laughing, even I started laughing.

    I didn't end up doing it and the task was just made up for the joke. It was pretty funny though. He said he saw them over the weekend when grocery shopping for his family and thought the joke was too good.

    Side note, they still make scooby snacks and the kid I'm basically raising actually really likes them.

    This is completely reasonable.
    It makes too much sense to be a shit post.

    It's just healthy adaptation. They care for their partner so they found a way to meet their partner's needs that isn't overly burdensome.

    I just do the things to her that I do to my dog, because I love my dog more.

    Ah, I see — we're calling this healthy now.

    I literally quoted their TL;DR.

    What you're trying to suggest is essentially saying 'Yeah it's totally fine to think you love your dog more than you love your girlfriend, it's 100% healthy to treat your human girlfriend like you would an animal'.

    Dude, what the fuck, I know Trump is president but let's not speedrun our way back to the 40's that quickly. This is either fake or the definition of unhealthy.

    Yeah, a species tends to hate it's own members the mist I noticed. Like, cats and dogs hate their own species, but cuddle up to humans.

    We have other reasons to avoid cuddling humans, like people just assume there must be something sexual about it.

    A bunch of times I felt like just cuddling grown ass humans anyway.

    Most cats and dogs don't hate their own species - they are social animals and naturally live in groups with their own species! But when you raise cats and dogs almost solely around humans, they don't know how to behave around members of their own species, and so depending on their personalities they react in ways that seem to you like "hating their own species".

    Imagine deleting your comments instead of acknowledging you're wrong.

    Sincerely, fuck you — you've earned your tag and I'll be making sure to remind everyone of what a cunt you are.

    Edit: actually, fuck the people who upvoted you too.

    Unhealthy would be if you as the other in the relationship (the one seeking affection here) were not ok with this and tried to change it. It Doesn't sound like the relationship with the dog is negotiable.

    I wouldn't be happy in that relationship because i need emotional mutuality/reflection, which is clearly muted here. But the two partners here are obviously fine with it.

    I don't mean to diagnose anyone but this is fairly common for both trauma survivors and neurodivergence. Animals are just going to always be safer than people for some folks, and those folk also deserve love.

    It's incredible that I have two people in this thread who simultaneously decide that the OP is an unreliable narrator and completely write in their own stories for why this actually isn't unhealthy.

    It's incredible, truly — the delusion I mean.

    Not sure where i decided the narrator is unreliable. They say their partner loves it. Two people happy in a relationship. An example of how one problem solved to meet the needs communicated by the other. The result being positive. That's just reading what's written. I don't see where i made something up. I provided examples of types of people who may use a logic like this but didn't prescribed it to op.

    Not a dynamic for me but i wouldn't gawk at someone for feeling fulfilled in it. I get the humor that it's expected to be considered demeaning.

    🤷

    Not sure how to react to this tbh.

    If this is even real, at least OOP learned a lot in this relationship, so if the relationship ever ends (because the gf found the post and was horrified to discover not only that bf had been treating her like a DOG, but he also told the entire world about it but didn't tell HER), at least he kinda knows a little bit better how to treat a woman.

    Unironically good advice though.

    Some relationship experts recommend taking elements of treating your SO more like pets, because we are way more patient towards them, understand and reciprocate their needs for affection better, and don't expect them to perfect.

    This is kinda sad but I'm... glad it worked?

    It's sad only because the tone is dismissive/condescending. Otherwise it's just describing someone who figured out how their gf likes to receive affection. My head canon says they've only been dating for a couple months and they've had their dog for years.
