How do you manage a relationship where one of the two does not like animals?

It is hard for me to comprehend a life without pets. I absolutely love them -especially dogs. Anyone manage to be in a relationship where one or the other is completely oppose to pets and dont really like them?

@DethComesRipping: because i aways ask why on everything and you seem to be the same. it is hard for me to understand why someone does not like animals (with exception if it is allergy related). My life feels incomplete without any.

non negotiable. I will have dogs until I die. Possibly even afterwards.

I would never be with someone who doesn't like animals. Simple.

It ought to be filtered before there's ever a relationship....sad when one person likes them and the other don't.

Well at the end of the day you either deal with it, make them deal with you getting a pet anyways, or break up. Whichever seems the least damaging. I think not having a pet should have favor over having one though becsuse pets cost time and money for both parties

it can be heart-breaking when you get a pet and can't afford the medical treatment like a surgery when they need it...gotta think of those things as well as any lifestyle changes.
I agree it is a compromise. For some people having pets around then is a necessicity to function well and that makes it particular difficult then if the other party does not want to compromise.

Deal breaker, wouldn't want to live without pets.
Couldn't do it either. I only date pet-friendly people and I get that information out of the way early. For whatever reason the other person doesn't like them - that's fine, but don't expect to be spending time with me if they don't. I'll always have pets in my home and would not trust anyone that doesn't understand that.

I mean that's a pretty binary situation... does the animal disliker have some types they hate less?

I love pets. They are better than humans in a lot of ways
