Two months ago, this 26-year-old guy got engaged to his 23-year-old fiancée, and everything between them was wonderful up until Saturday.

His fiancée has a cat and two dogs, and she sees them as her kids. His fiancée adores her pets, and he does like them as well.

He likes pets overall, but he would never refer to his pet as a kid or anything of the sort. He thinks it’s absurd, although harmless, to call a pet your child.

Now, he has a three-year-old Niece who thinks the world of him and is always thrilled to get to spend time with him.

His sister and her husband recently attended an event, so his sister asked if his niece could stay at his place for a couple of hours.

He said yes, and when his niece came over, he sat down to watch a movie with her and his fiancée.

During the movie, a fire and a rescue came into play. His fiancée then strangely asked him if there was a fire in their lives, if he would save his niece or her dogs first.

“I told her I’d do my best to save the two of them: her and my niece,” he explained. “I would put my own life at risk to save them.”

“She said, what about the dogs? I told her I would try to save them, but she and my niece come first, and it’s not even close.”

“She got mad and started saying I am putting my niece above my own family. I told her I don’t know what her logic is, but there is no way I would put the dogs, as much as I like them, above my niece, a little human being with whom I share 25 percent of my DNA.”

His fiancée stated that her dogs mean everything to her, and if he truly loved her, he would value them the same way that she does.

He replied to his fiancée that he does value her, but that didn’t change how he would answer the hypothetical question: he would still pick his niece over her dogs.

His fiancée kept going, saying he should save her dogs before her if they ever encountered a dangerous situation in their lives like a house fire.

“I told her the only other being I would put before her is our child when we have one. Otherwise, I would always save her before her pets,” he said.

“Since then, she is been giving me a hard time. She has also been acting differently with the dogs. I used to feed the dogs every morning; now, she rushes to do it, so I don’t do it. She takes them on walks by herself without telling me and is essentially trying to take me out of the equation when it comes to the dogs.”

“I talked to her about it yesterday, and she said she is not sure she wants to marry me anymore because I don’t value her fur babies.”
