If it’s just cultural have you thought of “getting the fuck over it” and letting your wife get a dog? You seem like a logical person, unless you specifically have an issue with them that isn’t cultural baggage, just embrace the ability to have dogs.

- dctoedt 3y agoI agree with Thomas (see his response to your comment, "below"). Are you making a category mistake here?
