My boyfriend has a dog and I can’t stand living with it. He whines, ALL THE TIME. If he wants to cuddle, he whines until you put him on the couch even though he is perfectly capable of jumping up himself. He whines if he wants food, even if the bowl is full. He whines and stares and begs when he wants YOUR food. He whines if you won’t play with him, even though he becomes uninterested in playing the second you grab a toy. He whines to be let upstairs to play with his Mom’s dog. He whines to be let downstairs when he’s bored playing with the dog upstairs. He whines to go outside, and then proceeds to not go pee or poop. He whines to come back inside. He whines anytime he doesn’t get his way, and has clearly learned that if he whines long enough he will get his way. For me, this is beyond annoying and disrupts my peace constantly but my boyfriend either tunes him out or just babies him because “awww he’s so cute he’s just a little guy he needs help getting on the couch”. While I can admit he is small and cute, he’s also aggravating. When he isn’t whining, he’s peeing or shitting on the floor or worst, he’s eating our food off of the table when we run upstairs to do laundry. What’s worse is my boyfriend KNOWS about these behavioral issues but instead of correcting it he just cleans up the pee or poop and says “Eh I don’t mind because he’s a little guy and it’s not much to clean up” or he just moves the food off of the table out of his reach. He also has never crate trained him in the 5 years that he’s had him so he free roams (which clearly doesn’t work). He also lets the dog sleep IN bed with us, UNDER the blankets. The dog has 2 beds of his own but they clearly go to waste and he usually just tears them up when he’s playing. The co-sleeping is the worst part for me because I’ve always been taught that dogs are animals, not babies, and I think it is beyond disgusting to have a dog rolling around in your clean sheets. The dog walks all over dirt and grass, rubs its ass outside after shitting, and lays on the ground, and then he just lets it lay in bed with us. I get that he’s a small dog and maybe I’m just a germaphobe but it makes me so uncomfortable knowing that everything on his paws are now on my skin. And don’t even get me started on the hair. You could pet and brush him for hours and the shedding would be nonstop. It gets absolutely everywhere. Black outfits ruined, it gets in my underwear after we’re intimate on the furry ass sheets, I’ve even been eating my food and found that the dog’s fur made its way onto the plate because it practically coats the air in the apartment at this point. We’ve talked about it and he reassured me that he would work on the dog’s behavior, but as I’m typing this, I just found dog shit on the bathroom bath mats. I don’t feel like I have much say so in this because I moved into his space and I know he loves his dog in an abnormal dog parent sort of way. But the longer I live with a dog, the more it becomes a dealbreaker for me and when we eventually get our own place, I refuse to live with a dog that acts this way. Advice?

I got hired to be a food runner at The Yellowstone Club for the summer at a restaurant called Eglise. I had never heard of YC before my interview, but I’ve learned it is basically a private ski resort for super rich and elite people. The cheapest housing is $830/month for a private room with a shared bathroom, but is a 1 hour drive from the job (they provide shuttles). There is housing that is 15 minutes from the job but it costs $1300+/month for a private room and private bathroom. There is also housing 25 minutes away that is $830-$1260 for a private bedroom and shared bathroom. They also require a $400 deposit, and all utilities are included. Although a shared room is cheaper ($550-$670/month), I snore so I’d prefer not to have a shared room as to not inconvenience my roommate. I’m having doubts because the housing is a bit more expensive than I’d prefer and I’m worried that the job just wouldn’t be worth it. I was told there was a 22% service charge on all purchases that goes to staff, but what if tips just aren’t very good? Especially in the summer since this is a ski resort and I assume it’s much busier in the winter. What if the customers are just rude and demeaning assholes and I end up hating it? What if I’m not able to save like I hoped while doing seasonal work? This is my first seasonal job so any advice or suggestions on whether this is a good fit would be appreciated. Thanks everyone!
