I am a twenty 10 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: seven year old woman and I just moved in with 11 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,919 Speaker 1: my boyfriend. We've been dating for one year and we 12 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: have a great relationship. But of course there's an issue, 13 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: or I wouldn't be writing you. I love making is 14 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: very good, but we are never alone. When we're intimate, 15 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: there's always four extra eyes very close by, staring at us. 16 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: It's his dog. He has a Doberman and a German Shepherd, 17 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: and these dogs are very spoiled and run the house. 18 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: When my boyfriend and I get in the bed, they 19 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: jump into Since I moved in, my boyfriend has forced 20 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: them to sleep on the floor next to our bed. 21 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: Since I didn't want them in our bed, I have 22 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: asked them. I have asked him to put the dogs 23 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: beds in the guest room so they can sleep in 24 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: there at night. But he says I'm being inconsiderate and silly. 25 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: He says, they're dogs and they don't understand what we're 26 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: doing when we're intimate. But it creeps me out. They 27 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: always come right up to the bed and stare at 28 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: us the entire time. I have asked my boyfriend over 29 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: and over to close our bedroom door and keep them 30 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: out while we have sex, but he says they will 31 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: wind the entire time and spoil the mood. I think 32 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: this is very weird. I can't enjoy sex with these 33 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: two big dogs breathing on us. How can I get 34 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: them out of our bedroom? Or maybe I should go 35 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: and let the dog stay. I didn't sign up for 36 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: this doggie style life. Please help. Wow. Yeah, I agree 37 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: with you. This is weird. Okay, watching is watching. I 38 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 1: don't care if it is dogs watching. I don't care 39 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: unless you're into that sort of thing, and clearly you're not. 40 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: This is weird. I mean, I think your man should 41 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: definitely put his dogs in another room or give them 42 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: something to do while you guys are doing it. I 43 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: think that's only normal. I mean, I know people love 44 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: their dogs and they're crazy about the dogs, and they 45 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: treat them like people and all of that. But this 46 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: right here is ridiculous. You're uncomfortable, you know, it makes 47 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: you feel creeped out and everything. I think he's being 48 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: disrespectful to you, putting the dogs above you. I think 49 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: he is, you know, because since you're officially moved in now, 50 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: you know, I know, it hasn't been that long. It's 51 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: only been about a month or so, you say. But 52 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: guess what, it's your house too, so to say something 53 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: about you know how you want your house to be run. 54 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: You're the woman of the house. That means you shouldn't 55 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: be uncomfortable in your own home. You shouldn't be uncomfortable 56 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: in this relationship. It sounds like he's disregarding your feelings. 57 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: You don't want the dogs in there during intimacy. He 58 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to have a problem with it. Is this 59 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: a deal breaker to you? If it is, you're gonna 60 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: have to keep it moving, Steve, Well, well, we'll let 61 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: me just say this right here. If we really in here, 62 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: tell us some damn don't Yeah, yeah, yeah, there what 63 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: we're talking about in the bedroom?

Y'all right, 68 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: I love making this very good, but we're never alone. 69 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: It's all extra eyes, very close, and it's two damn dogs.

So now I 177 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: ain't saying nothing nasty, I'm not saying nothing cruel. I'm 178 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: allowing you to write your own joke on your way 179 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: to work. But we all know what our dogs do 180 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: that embarrass us. Yeah, well he gonna walk up to 181 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: you and really embarrass you, he said, waiting. Oh, oh 182 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: everybody got to oh, oh, everybody got the ears out. Now, Oh, 183 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: there's what we're doing. First, he's gonna start with Jess itself. Oh, 184 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: there's what we're doing. Dogs are smart. You've got to 185 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: get these dogs out of your bed room because eventually 186 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna want to make going to participate. Is this 187 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: a deal breaker? I think it is. Now here's what 188 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: I think you could do, young ladies. This is I 189 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: think you can solve the problem. You're going to have 190 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: to issue an ultimatum. Either you put the dogs out 191 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: of the bedroom and get comfortable and make them get 192 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: okay with being in the room. They're gonna learn to 193 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: stop the whining. They're gonna stop. And if you don't 194 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: get them used to it, then you're gonna hear my 195 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: wine and we're gonna see which one of these you 196 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: like better, the dogs wine than my wine, because my 197 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 1: wining comes with consequences. I'm not making love anymore in 198 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: front of these damn dogs. I'm not doing it now. 199 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: I want to be with you, but I'm not doing 200 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: it anymore in front of these dogs. Period. Secondly, if 201 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: that don't work, here comes to other ultimatums. Either you 202 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: put the dogs out, I'll go out. Let me go 203 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: back to where I was until the dogs can sleep 204 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: on their own, because all you want to say have privacy. 205 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: You didn't ask the man to get rid of the dogs. 206 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: You just ask them to move the dogs around. So 207 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: those are the ultimatum. I can't do this anymore with 208 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: these dogs. I'm uncomfortable. Call me silly if you want to, 209 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: But I tell you, who're really gonna look silly? You 210 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: ain't that with them? Damn dogs and y'all looking at 211 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: each other now they can lick themselves, you can't.
