Boyfriend Tries to Starve Dog, Demands Fiction Ban, and Author's Boyfriend Calls Cops

Husband's Treatment of Dog

• 🐶 A woman is considering divorce because her husband, who is not a pet person, neglected her dog while she was away.
• ⚖️ Despite being given minimal instructions (feeding, water, letting the dog out), the husband complained of extreme stress, calling it a "second part-time job."
• 📉 The dog lost a third of its body weight (5 lbs) in 13 days, and the husband made light of the situation, suggesting the dog would be "easier to carry."
• 🚩 The narrator believes the husband's behavior is either extreme laziness or weaponized incompetence, both of which are grounds for separation.

Boyfriend's Fiction Ban

• 📚 A boyfriend is demanding his girlfriend stop consuming all fictional media, including books and shows.
• 🧠 He claims fiction is a "waste of time," "escapism," and "rotting her brain," insisting on a shared focus on non-fiction for "intellectual growth."
• 🚩 The girlfriend suspects this is not about intellectual growth but rather a controlling behavior, as he wants them to be on the "same wavelength about what's worthy of our time."

Author's Boyfriend Calls Police

• ✍️ A woman's boyfriend called the police to her home for a welfare check after reading a chapter of her book trilogy.
