No pets in a relationship.

This has me a bit fearful of a relationships, I rather not have pets and knowing my luck I'll find a girl who will be into tarantula as a pet and that will be a huge NOOOOPE from me.
My stepmom has allergies so her and my dad and my half sister don't keep any pets. I wish someone was able to cure it because I know how much my stepmom wants a dog or a cat. But it makes her sick and I think my sister also has the same issue.
I've been really anti-pet in many of my relationships which hasn't served me well at all. It's caused 2 break ups that I'm aware of. One girl left me because she couldn't bare living without her dog. Another girl I left because wanted to move in with me and bring her dogs. I said no and told her she'd be happier with someone else.
Me being anti pet goes back to my divorce. It's mainly because of my ex-wife. I'm anti-pet with dogs and cats because they tear shit up. My ex wife had a dog that she couldn't house break and it pissed and shit every where because she wouldn't take the dog out or teach it not to shit in the house.
I'm not a big dog fan at all. They don't listen very well and it's hard to teach and house break them and I have yet to meet a woman who's actually been able to house break one.
If I met a woman who has a dog that actually is house broken. Then I would have no complaints. However, most women have chosen their pets over me which takes me back to how there being isn't any loyalty in relationships.

I could live without pets for sure, they aren't a necessity. Having a pet or two isn't too bad either, I guess they cure loneliness.
on that note, besides ripping things up, I've open plenty of PCs from a pet heavy home, it wrecks the insides and I have way too much tech to allow that to happen to.
Not to mention dogs like to chew things up too. They like to chew on wires behind the television set. Imagine having thousands of dollars of equipment going to shit on account of your girlfriend having a dog that she never scolds. *cringe*
My g/f sometimes gets mad at our animals and yells at me "No more animals Joe!" but then a second later she's loving and petting them. LOL
I couldn't be with someone who didn't like pets. However if it was a allergy situation, it'd be more understandable. I'd just hope they would take medicine. Thankfully my wife doesn't have any pet allergies, so I don't have to worry about this!
My g/f will get mad at all the animals we have, then a second later, I see her petting and hugging them.
Our allergies aren't too bad and we both take a pill daily.
Exactly this. If it's an allergy thing, then fair enough. But it's just pure hate of animals, then no. Sorry. Bye!
No room for a compromise?
Well, if they feel irritated with Pets around then no way out. The pets must go
Fortunately we were both fond of animals and within a few months of marriage we got our first dog
I read in an article that a person can love someone if he or she knows how to take good care of domestic animals.
